Stalked by fear and terror - night and day! The brilliantly taut and twisty psychological thriller THE MAN WHO HAUNTED HIMSELF - starring Roger Moore (A View To A Kill), Hildegard Neil (Anthony and Cleopatra), Freddie Jones (The Elephant Man), Anton Rogers (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and Kevork Malikyan (Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull) - makes its worldwide UHD debut on April 27 as part of STUDIOCANAL’s Cult Classics range, with a stunning brand new 4K restoration, with a fantastic set of extras and four art cards. The film is also released on Blu-ray and Digital.
Expertly directed by Ealing veteran Basil Dearden (The Blue Lamp), THE MAN WHO HAUNTED HIMSELF features Roger Moore as you’ve never seen him before, giving a powerful performance as a businessman whose existence is reshaped by malevolent forces. It’s arguably Moore’s greatest non-Bond role (and his personal favourite) - and it’s a double treat for Moore fans, with the actor playing both a conservative businessman and his mysterious doppelganger.
Described by Variety as a ‘tense riddle’, THE MAN WHO HAUNTED HIMSELF keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat as they try to second guess Moore’s peculiar fate. Overlooked by audiences when it was released in 1970, the film is now regarded as a cult gem, with a central role that sees Moore not just shaken and stirred but scared out of his wits.
SYNOPSIS: Harold Pelham (Roger Moore), a partner in a large electronics firm, finds himself in bewildering circumstances after recovering from a near-fatal car accident. What causes him to renounce his high business principles? Why do friends and colleagues repeatedly sight him in places he has never been? And why does Julie, an attractive girl he has seen only once, claim such an intimate relationship with him? Does Pelham really have a doppelgänger – or is he losing his mind?
