STUDIOCANAL have now released the superb new restoration of NIGHT OF THE EAGLE, as part of the Cult Classics Collection. Dare you believe in the existence of witches in this nerve-shattering, atmospheric horror starring Peter Wyngarde (Jason King) and Janet Blair (I Love Trouble)? The film is available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital, with the striking original UK poster artwork featuring on the sleeve.

Based on the novel Conjure Wife by Fritz Leiber – a story so good it’s been filmed three times – NIGHT OF THE EAGLE (also known as Burn, Witch, Burn) is a taut and terrifying film that provides genuine chills, as well as a horrifying twist, and remains a much-loved cult classic to this day. Directed by Sidney Hayers (Circus of Horrors), with a screenplay by three masters of the macabre, Richard Matheson (I Am Legend), Charles Beaumont (The Premature Burial) and George Baxt (Vampire Circus), it also features a marvellously eerie score by William Alwyn (A Night To Remember).

Described by The New York Times as “excellently photographed and cunningly directed… a nightmarish hair-curler”, NIGHT OF THE EAGLE is in the same league as classic British chillers including The Haunting, The Innocents and Night of the Demon. As the tagline says, ‘You must watch from the beginning to feel the shock impact of the end!’

The Blu-ray edition includes four art cards.
