MVD Rewind has rereleased the Eighties horror film “Mortuary” which has been out of print for a few years from Code Red. The Bill Paxton performance and finale make the film work even if the film’s pacing is slow at times.
“Death Screams” is a slasher from 1982 directed by David Nelson starring Susan Kiger and Jennifer Chase. Arrow Video have given the film a fan pleasing Blu-ray release.
Severin Films continue their celebration of Bruno Mattei’s work with Claudio Fragasso and Rosella Drudi with their release of the hut-exploding Namsploitation epic “Strike Commando” starring Reb Brown.
“There was a crooked man…” is a film born out of the studio’s attempts to market edgier entertainment after the success of films like “Easy Rider.” Aside from some small missteps, it is a lot of fun.
“One Dark Night” is a PG rated horror film that launched the career of Tom McLoughlin. MVD Rewind have repurposed the transfer and features from the out of print Code Red release to give fans another chance to own the film.
“Just a Gigolo” is an odd film starring the iconic David Bowie. Shout! Factory has given this curio filmed during Bowie’s Berlin period a good release, but the film’s merits are debatable.
“G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” has not aged particularly well, but still will appeal to young kids. Paramount has given the film a 4K UHD release in conjunction with the release of “Snake Eyes.”
“Deep Blood” is a masterclass in inept filmmaking. Stilted dialogue, poor plotting, and terrible acting contribute to this indescribable sharksploitation classic. Severin Films have given the film a proper release.
“Cruel Jaws” is a jaw dropping work of boldfaced plagiarism. One of the most infamous and enjoyable “Jaws” ripoffs, it was actually released as “Jaws 5” in some territories. Severin Films released this cinematic gift on Blu-ray.
“Jaws: The Revenge” is one of the most idiotic and unintentionally hilarious sequels ever made. The Universal Pictures Blu-ray looks and sounds great!
