“An Angel for Satan” stars the enigmatic Barbara Steele in her final Italian Gothic performance. The film is beautifully lensed and atmospheric. Severin Films have restored the picture with great attention to detail.
“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.
“Short Night of Glass Dolls” is a psychedelic mystery thriller from Italian director Aldo Lado. Featuring an amazing score by Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai, there is a lot to enjoy about the film. Twilight Time released the film in 2018.

“The Bird with the Crystal Plumage” is one of Argento’s best films and one of the greatest giallo films ever made. The new 4K UHD release from Arrow looks fantastic.
“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.
“The Bloodhound” is a slow paced update on Poe’s classic “The Fall of House of Usher.” Arrow Video have given the film a fan pleasing release on Blu-ray.
“Black Widow” is a tightly constructed and well paced film noir shot in CinemaScope. Twilight Time gave the film a release.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is an interesting story of murder, homosexuality, and eccentricity in Savannah, Georgia. The film adaptation can not match the book, but is still enjoyable overall.
The Thin Man introduced the world to married sleuths Nick and Nora Charles. Based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett, the film is a pitch perfect blend of comedy and mystery that still holds up wonderfully. Warner Archive have given the film a Blu-ray release.
