Marina Sudina

Mute Witness Limited Edition

£21.99

Released: 10th June 2024. SHE WON’T BE SILENCED. Director Anthony Waller (The Piper, An American Werewolf in Paris) combines cat-and-mouse suspense with classic intrigue in Mute Witness, an updated take on the Hitchcockian thriller in which the only witness to a brutal crime can neither speak nor cry out in terror. Billy Hughes (Marina Sudina) is a mute special effects artist working on a low budget American slasher movie being shot in Russia. Accidentally locked in the studio late one night, she stumbles upon two men shooting what appears to be a snuff film. Having borne witness to their victim’s final moments, Billy desperately flees – but this is only the start of a protracted night of terror, drawing her and her friends into a tangled web of intrigue, involving the KGB, the Moscow police… and a mysterious crime kingpin known as “The Reaper”. Filmed on location in Moscow and co-starring Fay Ripley (Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein) and Evan Richards (Society), Mute Witness is an unpredictable, nerve-shreddingly tense viewing experience. Now fully restored in 4K and presented alongside a host of new and recently unearthed bonus materials, there has never been a better opportunity to discover – or rediscover – this gem of 90s thriller cinema. 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS 4K restoration approved by director Anthony Waller 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray™ presentation in HDR10 Restored original lossless stereo soundtrack Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Brand new audio commentary by writer/director Anthony Waller Brand new audio commentary with production designer Matthias Kammermeier and composer Wilbert Hirsch, moderated by critic Lee Gambin The Silent Death, brand new visual essay by author and critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, examining Mute Witness and its relationship with snuff films The Wizard Behind the Curtain, brand new visual essay by author and critic Chris Alexander, exploring the phenomenon of the film-within-a-film Original “Snuff Movie” presentation, produced to generate interest from investors and distributors, featuring interviews with Anthony Waller and members of the creative team Original location scouting footage Original footage with Alec Guinness, filmed a decade prior to the rest of Mute Witness Teaser trailer Trailer Image gallery Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Adam Rabalais Double-sided foldout poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Adam Rabalais Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Michelle Kisner
