“The Lawnmower Man” is probably the best known film from the brief boom of Cyber Cinema. Starring Jeff Fahey and Pierce Brosnan, it is a fun and fairly traditional science fiction film. The Shout! Factory Blu-ray is a definitive Collector’s Edition.
“Split Second” is a science-fiction action horror B-movie from the Nineties starring the great Rutger Hauer in one of his best roles. MVD Rewind has finally given fans a solid Blu-ray release.
“Demolition Man” remains one of the best science fiction-action films of the Nineties. Warner Bros. gave the film an excellent Blu-ray release in 2011.
“Virtuosity” is a delightfully over-the-top piece of Cyber Cinema from the Nineties. It’s almost as ambitious as it is ridiculous. Paramount has given the film a great looking release, but the lack of supplemental materials is a disappointment.
“Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno” is a fascinating document of an unfinished work by a master filmmaker. Arrow Video’s Blu-ray is top notch.
“Giants and Toys” is an acidic takedown of the Japanese business world of the Fifties, and one of the darkest showbiz polemics of its time. Arrow Video have brought the film to Blu-ray with solid technical specs and good supplemental material.
Starring Robert Young, “They Won’t Believe Me” is an unforgiving and unsentimental film noir about a philandering stock broker and his disastrous love affairs. WB Archive has given the film a great looking release.
Featuring an introduction by film scholar Troy Howarth, author of “Splintered Visions: Lucio Fulci and His Films” –
“Zombie 3” is the ill fated follow up to Fulci’s classic “Zombie.” When Fulci became too ill to finish the film, Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragasso stepped in. Severin Films have given the film an excellent release.
“Brewster McCloud” is Robert Altman at his most surreal, experimental, and inexplicable. Warner Archive have given the film a great looking presentation on Blu-ray.
“Tales from the Hood” by writer/director Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott is a surprisingly insightful anthology film that examines urban horrors based in reality to great effect. The Shout! Factory Blu-ray comes recommended!
“Crimson Peak” is one of the best works of modern Gothic filmmaking thanks to Guillermo del Toro’s incredible eye for detail and taste for invention. Arrow Video’s limited edition Blu-ray is the definitive edition until we get a 4K UHD.
