4Digital Media has announced that Stalker, the psychological horror starring Jane March, is to be receive its DVD release on January 30th. The film, which was directed and written by former Spandau Ballet member and Eastenders actor, Martin Kemp, proved to be a major hit with horror fans, as it triumphed at the Scream Awards. Stalker, which was a pet project for Kemp, won the top prize in the Best Feature, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor categories and has already developed a reputation as a cult classic amongst horror fans, ensuring that it is likely to sell healthy numbers of DVD copies.
The film is Kemp’s first foray into directing, but the star has previous experience in the British film industry, taking a leading role in the hit crime film The Krays in the early 1990’s. His first directorial effort, which stars former James Bond actor Colin Salmon alongside Anna Brecon, Billy Murray and Jane March, offers an intriguing blend of atmospheric cinematography and solid acting. March in particular, gives a marvellously sinister performance, which is far removed from her notorious debut in the controversial film The Lover.
Stalker was developed by the independent UK company Black and Blue Films, and is centred around a successful novelist – played by Brecon – who attempts to overcome her writer’s block with a visit to a country retreat. However, she finds herself haunted by a frightening figure with whom she has a past. Details of additional features to be included with DVD copies have yet to be made available.
