Based on the novel “No Beast So Fierce” by convict Edward Bunker, Straight Time is uniquely adept at interpreting the subject of imprisonment and recidivism in our country. Warner Archive’s Blu-ray features a beautiful transfer.
“Night Shift” is a genuinely funny and charming comedy from the Eighties. It features strong performances by Henry Winkler and Shelley Long, but Michael Keaton steals the film in his debut role. Warner Archive’s Blu-ray is not to be missed!
“I Spit On Your Grave” is one of the most relentless and difficult rape/revenge films ever made. Ronin Flix have done an excellent job of presenting this troubling film in its best presentation.
“An Angel for Satan” stars the enigmatic Barbara Steele in her final Italian Gothic performance. The film is beautifully lensed and atmospheric. Severin Films have restored the picture with great attention to detail.
“Scream” was a generation defining horror film when it was released in 1996. Wes Craven reminded everyone that he was a master at generating suspense. The script by Kevin Williamson still feels fresh twenty five years later. The new Paramount 4K UHD is a big improvement over all prior releases.
“Alone in the Dark” is an excellent thriller with elements of humor and horror. Jack Palance, Donald Pleasance, and Martin Landau Are all wonderful in the film. Shout! Factory has given the film a great release.
“April Fool’s Day” is an entertaining and lighthearted slasher film with a sense of humor. Critics dismissed it in 1986, but Shout! Factory has given the film an excellent release.
“Walking the Edge” is an enjoyable low key revenge film with Robert Forster, Joe Spinell, and Nancy Kwan. Fun City Editions have given fans a great looking release.
“A Day of Judgment” is an interesting film due to its mixture of religious elements with elements of an Eighties slasher film. Severin Films has given the film a solid release that rescues it from VHS obscurity.
“Strike Commando 2” replaces Reb Brown with Brent Huff in the role of Michael Ransom. The film manages to rip off “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Rambo: First Blood Part II” at the same time. Fans of Bruno Mattei will have a lot to grin about.
“The Blood on Satan’s Claw” is an extremely effective and well made folk horror film. It is one of the best examples of the genre. The Severin Films Blu-ray comes highly recommended!
