For those who can find the humor in a certain type of film failure, “Cutting Class” is a wealth of riches. I had a blast watching the 4K UHD release from MVD Visual.
“Pet Sematary: Bloodlines” is a prequel to Stephen King’s horror classic. Despite some good ideas, the film fails to generate tension or craft compelling characters. Paramount has given the film a good 4K UHD presentation.
Shout! Factory has given the Stephen King adaptation “Silver Bullet” a 4K UHD release with a brand new transfer. Fans of the film will be impressed by the 4K upgrade.
“Messiah of Evil” is one of the best horror films from the Seventies. Blending elements of the Gothic, Lovecraft, and “Night of the Living Dead,” it creates something uniquely American. The Radiance Films release earns our highest recommendation.
Universal Pictures has given Scott Derrickson’s “The Black Phone” a proper UHD release. Adapted from a Joe Hill story, the film is a very well made horror-thriller with a supernatural twist. Definitely check it out!
“Evil Dead Rise” puts a new spin on Necronomicon and Deadite based scares in a new environment. It’s a rollercoaster ride. Alyssa Sutherland delivers a star making performance in the film. Warner has given the film a 4K UHD release.
Scream Factory has given Don Coscarelli’s “Bubba-Ho-Tep” a 4K UHD release. It is the only film that features Bruce Campbell as Elvis alongside Ossie Davis as JFK battling a mummy that preys on the elderly.
“Cloverfield” was destined to be a cult film. Its experimental narrative techniques set it apart from other creature features and other films in general. Paramount’s handsome steelbook edition brings the best out of the film in 4K.
Synapse Films has done an excellent job on the restoration of “Creature from Black Lake.” While the film’s merits are debatable, the attention given to restoring Dean Cundey’s cinematography is impressive.
“The Kindred” is an entertaining mad scientist – nature subverted- creature feature from the Eighties. Synapse Films has given the slime covered film an excellent release.
