{"product_id":"the-crimes-of-stephen-hawke-mod-dvd-movie","title":"The Crimes of Stephen Hawke (MOD) (DVD MOVIE)","description":"A deranged killer, \"The Spine-Breaker\", is on the loose, throwing London into a panic. He is in reality Stephen Hawke, a kindly banker who lives with his daughter, Julia. His murderous rampage goes unchecked until he slays the father of Julia's fiance, Matthew Trimble. The bereaved young man discovers the Spine-Breaker's true identity and vows to bring the madman to justice...even if it costs him the woman he loves!\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Tod Slaughter's remarkable talent for playing over-the-top maniacs in macabre Victorian settings is once again on full display in \u003ci\u003eThe Crimes of Stephen Hawke\u003c\/i\u003e. His delightful grin and mad glee at \"polishing off\" his victims is a trademark of the British actor, who never quite gained the fame of his Hollywood horror counterparts Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, but has a large cult following nonetheless. Directed with a smart tongue-in-cheek flair by George King, \u003ci\u003eThe Crimes of Stephen Hawke\u003c\/i\u003e has an unusual opening unique in Slaughter's filmography. The film begins with Slaughter (playing himself) being interviewed on a BBC radio show and speaking of how he \"murdered hundreds and hundreds of people\" in his prior movies \u003ci\u003eMurder in the Red Barn\u003c\/i\u003e (1935) and \u003ci\u003eSweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street\u003c\/i\u003e (1936).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"COLOR: #0000ff\"\u003eDVD Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Rated:  NR\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Runtime:  1 hours,  8 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Encoding: Region 1(US \u0026amp; Canada)\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Originally Released:  1\/1\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Label:  Alpha Video\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarring: Tod Slaughter;Eric Portman;Marjorie Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"BORDER-BOTTOM: blue 3px solid; BORDER-LEFT: blue 3px solid; WIDTH: 675px; HEIGHT:140px; BORDER-TOP: blue 3px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: blue 3px solid\"\u003eThis product is made-on-demand by the manufacturer using DVD-R recordable media.
