An unspeakable evil arrives on DVD on 4th September as Stephen King’s STORM OF THE CENTURY is released as a two disc set by Warner Home Video.

TIM DALY (The Object of My Affection) and COLM FEORE (The Chronicles of Riddick), star in this critically acclaimed Emmy Award-winning thriller that is widely regarded as one of the best Stephen King original teleplays.

"Give me what I want and I'll go away," demands the black-eyed stranger Andre Linoge (Colm Feore), who appears and brutally bludgeons an old lady to death on the quiet community of Little Tall Island off the coast of Maine that’s on the verge of the worst storm in 100 years.  Tim Daly, the town sheriff and voice of reason and moral strength, takes charge, but the deaths pile up as Linoge acts them out from his jail cell like a murderous mime pulling psychic strings.  He somehow holds the darkest secrets of all the townspeople and uses his knowledge to control and drive some of them to suicide and murder.

An icy tension draws in viewers as the waiting game goes on, before Linoge finally reveals "what he wants" and the drama turns into a struggle for man's soul in miniature.  The ambitious special effects and set pieces the best of which occurs when townspeople are literally yanked out of existence while watching the storm are matched by King's knack for turning the mundane into the macabre.

Cert: 18, 255 mins across 2 discs, Full-Screen 1.33:1,
Dolby Digital 2.0, Cat No: D080266
