Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
The Thing is one of my favorite horror films of all time. It is debatably the best film by legendary director John Carpenter. Shout!Factory’s release of the film provides an incredible amount of supplemental material and a strong visual presentation.
In the Mouth of Madness is a great later entry in John Carpenter’s filmography. One of my favorite Carpenter films, Shout!Factory has given it a great transfer from a 4K scan.
Christine is not my favorite John Carpenter film, but it is still a fun Stephen King adaptation with a killer score.
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.
Fred Dekker’s classic cliche exploiting genre blending classic has been given an amazing release by Shout!Factory.
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.
Dark Side of the Moon is an enjoyable
science fiction and horror film from 1990. Unearthed Films have given it a solid release.
Shout!Factory has put together a solid Collector’s Edition of this enjoyable Horror-Western from John Carpenter. James Woods stars as a vampire hunter in one of his few roles as an action star.
