Eureka Entertainment brings iconic Wallace crime films to May's lineup
Terror in the Fog: Wallace Krimi at CCC, a captivating selection of crime films, is set to engage audiences as Eureka Entertainment rolls out its Blu-ray releases this May. These films, crafted from the works of Edgar Wallace and Bryan Edgar Wallace, feature intricate plots and masked killers stalking London's fog-bound streets. The collection showcases five key krimi films produced by Artur Brauner’s CCC Film: The Curse of the Yellow Snake, The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle, The Mad Executioners, The Monster of London City, and The Racetrack Murders. These classic films blend murder mystery with horror, significantly influencing the Italian giallo and American slasher genres.
Each film comes meticulously restored in 2K, with additional features including audio commentaries by genre experts Kim Newman, Barry Forshaw, Kevin Lyons, and Jonathan Rigby. The set also offers the standard definition bonus film The Phantom of Soho. Film introductions by Tim Lucas, interviews, video essays, and more enrich this limited 2000-copy release. A hardcase with artwork by Poochamin and a collector's book encapsulate the release.
