The mid-nineties were a fertile period for the vampire movie. Big-name stars such as Tom Cruise and Eddie Murphy flocked to genre, as did high-caliber filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, veterans Wes Craven and John Landis, independents Michael Almereyda and Jeffrey Arsenault, and up-and-comers Quentin Tarantino and Guillermo del Toro. Amid the fangs and crucifixes, Abel Ferrara reunited with his King of New York star Christopher Walken for The Addiction, a distinctly personal take on creatures of the night.Philosophy student Kathleen (Lili Taylor, The Conjuring) is dragged into an alleyway on her way home from class by Casanova (Annabella Sciorra, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle) and bitten on the neck. She quickly falls ill but realizes this isnt any ordinary disease when she develops an aversion to daylight and a thirst for human bloodHaving made a big-budget foray into science fiction two years earlier with Body Snatchers, Ferraras approach to the vampire movie is in a lower key. Shot on the streets of New York, like so many of his major works including The Driller Killer, Ms. 45 and Bad Lieutenant and beautifully filmed in black and white, The Addiction sees the filmmaker on his own terms and at his very best: raw, shocking, intense, intelligent, masterful.4K ULTRA HD SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS 4K restoration from the original camera negative by Arrow Films 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Optional lossless 5.1 and stereo 2.0 audio options Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Audio commentary by director Abel Ferrara, moderated by critic and biographer Brad Stevens Talking with the Vampires, a 2018 documentary about the film, featuring actors Christopher Walken and Lili Taylor, composer Joe Delia, cinematographer Ken Kelsch, and Ferrara himself 2018 interview with Abel Ferrara 2018 interview with Brad Stevens Abel Ferrara Edits The Addiction, an archival piece from the time of production Original trailer Image gallery Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Peter StrainTHIS IS A PREORDER DISC THAT IS DUE TO BE RELEASED ON OR ABOUT 9/8/26ALL ITEMS ORDERED TOGETHER WILL BE CHARGED AT THE TIME OF THE ORDERAND SHIP TOGETHER WHEN EVERYTHING IS IN STOCK.
