“Candyman” is not a reboot or remake. It is a clever and well made sequel to the classic 1992 horror film and easily one of the best horror films of the last couple years. The Universal Pictures 4K UHD looks and sounds amazing.
“Mill of the Stone Women” is a beautifully filmed Italian Gothic film from the early Sixties. Arrow Video have given the film a deluxe release featuring four cuts of the film.
“Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge” is a fun and completely ridiculous film from the Eighties. If you can turn your brain off completely, there is a lot to enjoy about the film.
“I Spit On Your Grave” is one of the most relentless and difficult rape/revenge films ever made. Ronin Flix have done an excellent job of presenting this troubling film in its best presentation.
“Scream” was a generation defining horror film when it was released in 1996. Wes Craven reminded everyone that he was a master at generating suspense. The script by Kevin Williamson still feels fresh twenty five years later. The new Paramount 4K UHD is a big improvement over all prior releases.
“Alone in the Dark” is an excellent thriller with elements of humor and horror. Jack Palance, Donald Pleasance, and Martin Landau Are all wonderful in the film. Shout! Factory has given the film a great release.
“April Fool’s Day” is an entertaining and lighthearted slasher film with a sense of humor. Critics dismissed it in 1986, but Shout! Factory has given the film an excellent release.
“A Day of Judgment” is an interesting film due to its mixture of religious elements with elements of an Eighties slasher film. Severin Films has given the film a solid release that rescues it from VHS obscurity.
“The Blood on Satan’s Claw” is an extremely effective and well made folk horror film. It is one of the best examples of the genre. The Severin Films Blu-ray comes highly recommended!
“The First Purge” is James DeMonaco’s attempt to capture the zeitgeist during a politically inflamed time in America. It’s an interesting film that is the most divisive amongst fans of the series.
“The Purge: Election Year” has a little difficulty following up “The Purge: Anarchy,” but it is still an enjoyable action film. The candy bar sequence may be the best sequence in the series.
