Creepiness comes to Blu-Ray as Criterion has announced a May 11th release date for Fritz Lang's M (1931).

The bonus features (below) on this single DVD release will be identical to the previous 2-disc standard version, with the exception of the addition of M's long-lost English-language version.

It will retail for 9.95, but is available here at ClassicFlix.com for only 1.99.

SYNOPSIS:
A simple, haunting phrase whistled off-screen tells us that a young girl will be killed. 'Who is the murderer?' pleads a nearby placard as serial killer Hans Beckert (Peter Lorre) closes in on little Elsie Beckmann.

In this harrowing masterwork M, Fritz Lang merges trenchant social commentary with chilling suspense, creating a panorama of private madness and public hysteria that to this day remains the blueprint for the psychological thriller. The Criterion Collection is proud to present a new restoration of this landmark film.
