Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
“Disturbing Behavior” is one of the least convincing teenage horror films from the crop of late Nineties horror that sprung from the success of “Scream.” It is also one of the most entertaining. MVD Rewind has given the film a Blu-ray release.
MVD Rewind has teamed with 88 Films to bring the 1997 action film “Drive” to 4K UHD. Boasting a new Atmos track and HDR, the film has never looked or sounded better.
Joel Schumacher’s “Flatliners” has been given a significant 4K UHD upgrade by Arrow Video with color grading approved by cinematographer Jan de Bont. It is far and away the best way to experience the film.
“Event Horizon” is one of the best horror and science fiction films of the Nineties. The new Paramount 4K UHD is the best presentation yet of the film.
“Warriors of the Year 2072” is the Post-Apocalyptic Italian VHS-Era Lucio Fulci film you have always wanted. Severin’s Blu-ray release is fantastic.
Mill Creek’s release of “Metropolis”brought a rare Blu-ray back into print in a well designed steelbook packaging. The technical specs are good, but the film quality is excellent. Otomo and Rintaro created a visually stunning world.
“Queen of Outer Space” is a science fiction film from the Fifties that makes hilariously inaccurate scientific claims whenever possible. The film featured Zsa Zsa Gabor. Warner Archive released the film.
“Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” is a faithful film adaptation of the story from the first two games in the iconic survival horror series. Fans of the games will enjoy seeing R.P.D. and the Wesley House recreated.
“Ghostbusters: Afterlife” is a family film that should please young and old fans of the original films. Directed and written by Jason Reitman, the movie strikes the right balance between nostalgia, thrills, and humor. Sony’s disc looks and sounds great.
