Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season Five

Reunite with the “Master of Suspense,” Alfred Hitchcock, for more of the mind-boggling twists and devious thrills synonymous with one of TV’s greatest shows, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. In the fifth season, delve into 38 stories of greed, larceny, revenge and murder where every character holds a guilty secret and a misleading “MacGuffin” lurks in every corner. Featuring some of Hollywood’s brightest guest stars, including Walter Matthau, Steve McQueen, Peter Lorre, Dick Van Dyke, William Shatner and Burt Reynolds, it’s five discs of delicious mysteries from the icon whose highest hope for his audience was to “give them pleasure – the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.”

Ice Quake

 

It’s Christmas Eve in Alaska, but the holiday season is in for a rude awakening: A massive ice shelf has collapsed in the Russian Arctic. Intense shockwaves are rocking the region. And military geologist Michael Webster (Brendan Fehr of ”Bones” and ”Roswell”) and his family’s snowy wilderness hike to cut down a Christmas tree leaves them trapped by huge ice geysers, giant avalanches and enormous cracks in the permafrost. But with the help of a hard-nosed Army Colonel (Victor Garber of ”Alias”) and their own survival instincts, can they now find a way to stop a monstrous methane explosion that threatens to destroy the entire planet? Jodelle Ferland (THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE), Holly Dignard (”Hellcats”), Ryan Grantham (DIARY OF A WIMPY KID) and Rob LaBelle (”First Wave”) co-star in this Syfy Original holiday hit based on the actual catastrophic climate science of ICE QUAKE!
