Indicator is the London-based Powerhouse Films' disc label, co-founded by John Morrissey and Sam Dunn, whose first spine-numbered release was Christine in October 2016. The catalogue leans on classic Hollywood, Columbia titles, Hammer, film noir and overlooked world cinema, sold as limited editions with booklets, new subtitles and extensive extras, later reissued as standard editions. US editions arrived in 2022 through Alliance Entertainment's Distribution Solutions.
