(Richard Fleischer, 1971)
Release date: 28 November 2016
Limited Dual Format Edition (UK Blu-ray premiere)

This classic British chiller is the horrifying true story of serial killer John Christie, played to unnerving effect by Richard Attenborough. When Timothy Evans (John Hurt) and his wife (Judy Geeson) rent a tiny room in Christie’s terraced house, they are unaware that they have sealed their fates and that they will fall foul of Christie's perverse and murderous scheme.
Shot in the original street where Christie's crimes were perpetrated, Richard Fleischer's stark, unsensational depiction uses exteriors from the actual house as part of its grim recreation of the events.

Popular high school senior Virginia Wainwright (Melissa Sue Anderson) survives a freak accident, but suffers from memory loss and traumatic blackouts. As she attempts to resume a normal life, something terrible is happening - her friends are being ruthlessly murdered one by one. But will she be the next victim or is she the killer?

Director J. Lee Thompson's classic shocker was made during the period before the horror genre drenched itself in irony and self-reflexivity, and instead revels in the effective staging of the terrifying set-pieces which drive it towards its climax.

So for now this is a Discussion thread for the very exciting new series Indicator by Powerhouse. If the demand/interest will raise with time single threads for releases would be an option.

To start collecting this series I can only recommend to pick up the first two titles, Christine & Body Double, from HMV in their 2 for 25 GBP sale.
12,50 GBP is a bargain in my opinion.

And head to the HDN main page where HDN & Indicator is giving away three copies of Christine for our annual Halloween Fest !! Good luck guys & thank you Indicator
https://www.hidefninja.com/2016/10/31/halloweenfest-win-a-copy-of-christine-on-blu-ray/

Some informations on the series:

All of these releases receive a reversible cover that hides all the banners and barcodes. Looks in the end like this (not my picture):

They're numbered with the catalogue number at the bottom of the spine.
Like PHIDFE001, PHIDFE002, PHIDFE003 ....

Standard single format editions will follow up once the Dual Format Edition is sold out. Without booklets.

I'm pretty excited about this series and Matt just helped me out with the HMV 2 for 25 GBP sale. Funny to discover this morning that HDN & Indicator cooperating on the Giveaway since I was looking at them for a few days now. I love their cover artworks and the title selection. And it's pretty exciting to start collecting these from 001 on. Great to see another cinephile retailer in the UK next to Arrow and Criterion UK.

If it means no more importing The Twilight Times releases I'm all on for these releases and I hope they do the 14 odd Hammer films they have the rights to. Would love to see the likes of "Never Take Sweets from a Stranger" or "The Camp on Blood Island". They've never had proper releases or restoration. And they have the rights to The Gorgon so maybe see a proper release of this than the rubbish one done a few months ago.

Thanks for sharing mate.

Had my eye on these guys since they first introduced themselves on social media back in August, and it's safe to say they've started with a bang! I'm yet to pick up either Christine or Body Double, but have literally just put in an order at HMV (thanks for the heads up on the 2 for £25 offer ). I love that the sleeves are reversible too, so you can have clean artwork with no rating logos. It's awesome to see another promising player to the game here in the UK. Can't wait to see what else they have planned!

Thanks for sharing mate.

Had my eye on these guys since they first introduced themselves on social media back in August, and it's safe to say they've started with a bang! I'm yet to pick up either Christine or Body Double, but have literally just put in an order at HMV (thanks for the heads up on the 2 for £25 offer ).

Awesome mate
I became aware of them when Christine and Body Double arrived at customers and they posted them on social networks.
Most of the titles I'm interested in and for 12,50 GBP for this treatment with booklet and everything it's a no-brainer to go for the whole series.
But they want to do 4 releases a month so 50 quid each month is again hard to follow...

Yeah, social media has been flooded with photos of them, which is great to see! Thankfully I'm not a big fan of most hammer films, so I probably won't be buying too many of them... not at full price at least. Criterion UK ought to take a page out of their book though and either lower the RRP or add them to HMV's 2 for £25 offer, because at the moment £18 each is ridiculous... I certainly won't be picking any of them up until they lower the prices anyway. But I guess my point is... good on Powerhouse for selling these at a very reasonable price.

At the moment I collect Hammer remastered from Anolis Entertainment

I've been getting them as well. The only ones I've been buying. Having said that I picked up the German Media book of Dracula AD 1972 and would have got the Dracula one only I've been told it's not the fully restored one. Don't forget another Anolis Hammer this Friday!

I can't stand Criterion UK with the rating logo. It's picky but the Criterion artworks are so beautiful I just can't do this. Just today the Criterion 50 % off sale started at B&N
But yeah, I'm super hyped for Powerhouse. I'll pick up as many as I can. If I fail to get the Dual Format then I'm okay too. At least you'll not end up without a complete set if you want to at any time.

I've passed on both of these Dracula mediabooks since the quality was terrible. Way too expensive for this kind of treatment. Sadly.
I didn't picked up the last two Anolis Hammer Mediabooks till now. I'll wait till December 3 then is Movie Fair here and I cop all at once at a seller for cost.

Thanks for the tag @dan8885! I'm always happy to see a new retailer! I'm interested in a couple of the titles. Christine and Happy Birthday to me. I didn't think these would get a blu-ray release so I'm happy to see a new label bringing them out!

I'm pretty excited about this series and Matt just helped me out with the HMV 2 for 25 GBP sale. Funny to discover this morning that HDN & Indicator cooperating on the Giveaway since I was looking at them for a few days now. I love their cover artworks and the title selection. And it's pretty exciting to start collecting these from 001 on. Great to see another cinephile retailer in the UK next to Arrow and Criterion UK.

Ninjas, what do you think?

Brilliant new label
I pre ordered day one as soon as they went live to pre order 10 Rillington Place/Christine/Body Double

I will be pre ordering Experiment in Terror and The Anderson Tapes.

I will also be getting some of the others that are released in Nov/Dec

These titles will then later get a standard release Blu-ray only (No DVD or Booklet)
