Eureka Entertainment to release a 1970s Killer creature double feature of NIGHTWING & SHADOW OF THE HAWK, on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, presented as part of the Eureka Classics range from 15 March 2021. The first print run of 2,000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition Collector’s Booklet.
Featuring special effects work by Carlo Rambaldi (Alien, E.T. the Extra Terrestrial), Nightwing was one of many creature features produced to cash in on the success of Jaws, but director Arthur Hiller also imbues the film with a humanitarian edge. Described in recent years as an “eco-gothic Western”, and “a great exploration of social change and race relations”.
Are a wave of mysterious deaths on a Native American reservation being caused by killer vampire bats, or a curse from beyond the grave?
Filmed in the forests of British Columbia to stunning effect, Shadow of the Hawk features a number of eerie and effective sequences of supernatural terror.
An ageing medicine man recruits his sceptical grandson to aid him in a spiritual battle against evil spirits and black magic.
