Blood Tide is a C-Grade film with an A-Grade cast and some beautiful Mediterranean scenery. Fans of Nico Mastorakis will want to check it out, because Arrow’s new transfer looks great.
Sixteen Candles was the first film that John Hughes directed. With an excellent cast and soundtrack, it has become a classic of the coming-of-age genre. Arrow Video have given it a fantastic release.
Scared Stiff is a fun and absolutely ridiculous horror film. The critical opinion of this film is very low, but I had a smile on my face for the duration of the film. Arrow Video have given it a deluxe release.
The Big Clock is a fun thriller with an excellent sense for dialogue and humor. With both Ray Milland and Charles Laughton in top form, the film is a solid release by Arrow Academy.
The Chill Factor is a VHS-era horror film that never quite gets it right. Unintentionally hilarious at times, a rental is recommended prior to a purchase.
Terror in a Texas Town is an enjoyable Western Drama from Dalton Trumbo and Joseph H. Lewis. I love watching Sterling Hayden on screen, and he is great here (even with a Swedish accent.)
The Loveless is a bit of a mixed bag, but it gave Willem Defoe and Kathryn Bigelow their start. Arrow Video has provided a very comprehensive collector’s edition for fans of the film.
In the Aftermath is a real oddity of a film. New World Pictures combined live action footage with footage from a surreal anime film called Angel’s Egg. The results? Meh.
Double Face is a fun proto-Giallo from Riccardo Freda that features Klaus Kinski and numerous beautiful European actresses. Arrow Video have provided a beautiful transfer and solid supplemental materials.
