Perhaps no director tapped into the pervasive sense of dread and mistrust that defined the 1970s more effectively than Alan J. Pakula, who, in the second installment of his celebrated Paranoia Trilogy, offers a chilling vision of America in the wake of the assassinations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King Jr. and about to be shocked by Watergate. Three years after witnessing the murder of a leading senator atop Seattle’s Space Needle, reporter Joseph Frady (Warren Beatty) begins digging into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the killing—and stumbles into a labyrinthine conspiracy far more sinister than he could have imagined. The Parallax View’s coolly stylized, shadow-etched compositions by acclaimed cinematographer Gordon Willis give visual expression to a mood that begins as an anxious whisper and ends as a scream into the void. Blu-Ray Special edition features • New, restored 4K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • New introduction by filmmaker Alex Cox • Interviews with director Alan J. Pakula from 1974 and 1995 • New program on cinematographer Gordon Willis featuring an interview with Willis from 2004 • New interview with Jon Boorstin, assistant to Pakula on The Parallax View • English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing • Plus: An essay by critic Nathan Heller and a 1974 interview with Pakula.

It's the second unluckiest day of the year. Pennsylvania is beginning to look a lot like Transylvania in the horror spoof Saturday The 14th! John (Richard Benjamin, Love At First Bite) and Mary (Paula Prentiss, The Stepford Wives) can't believe their good fortune when they inherit the vast estate of John's recently departed uncle. Sure, it's a fixer-upper. But there's nothing that can't be taken care of with a fresh coat of paint, a little dusting…and maybe an exorcist! It turns out that they've just moved into the most eerie house in Erie, PA—and one that some loathsome looky-loos are simply dying to take off their hands! Monsters, mayhem, and mirth descend upon the house—and only a mysterious book can save this everyday normal family from Saturday's paranormal activity.
