The Stone Tape Limited Edition

£24.99

Released: 9th December 2024. 101 Films presents Nigel Kneale’s The Stone Tape (1972), released on Blu-ray for the first time. Broadcast by the BBC on Christmas Day 1972 to critical acclaim, The Stone Tape sees Kneale employing his trademark fusion of science fiction and supernatural horror to terrifying effect and ranks among the legendary screenwriter’s best work. A team of scientists, eager to discover a new recording medium, take over a brooding gothic mansion recently purchased and renovated by their employers. On moving in, however, they find one room unfinished and the builders refusing to work there. Claims of strange noises and feelings of unease are dismissed. However, the scientists soon discover that the renovation work on the mansion has disturbed something hidden beneath the stone walls, something ancient and malevolent. Special Features Brand new extras: ‘Children of The Stone Tape’ Documentary on the lasting legacy of The Stone Tape •‘Out of Darkness: A Visionary Manxman’ Short film on Writer Nigel Kneale • Commentary with filmmakers Jon Dear and Sean Hogan • Limited edition rigid box packaging • Set of art cards • Script booklet • Booklet including ‘Placememory’ by Andy Murray and ‘Weird Science: The Stone Tape at Fifty’ by John Doran Archive extra: Commentary with Nigel Kneale and film critic Kim Newman
