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.
Fred Dekker’s classic cliche exploiting genre blending classic has been given an amazing release by Shout!Factory.
This Island Earth is often spoken about with the same high regard as Forbidden Planet. Shout!Factory have given it a definitive release.
In the Aftermath is a real oddity of a film. New World Pictures combined live action footage with footage from a surreal anime film called Angel’s Egg. The results? Meh.
Dark Side of the Moon is an enjoyable
science fiction and horror film from 1990. Unearthed Films have given it a solid release.
Nightmare at Noon is a campy action film from Nico Mastorakis that borrows from Westerns and The Crazies. Wings Hauser and Bo Hopkins star.
The Quiet Earth is a cult classic sci-fi film from New Zealand. Film Movement have provided a great looking 2K scan of the film.
Hell Comes to Frogtown is as ridiculous as it sounds. Vinegar Syndrome have given it a fantastic new transfer and have included all of the great special features from the Arrow Video release.
One of the greatest artistic achievements in film receives the deluxe 4K treatment it deserves in this must-own release.
The Andromeda Strain is a faithful adaptation of Michael Crichton’s classic novel. Robert Wise directs the film capably and Arthur Hill stars.
Paul Verhoeven’s action film and satire of corporate greed run amok is one of the best films of the Eighties. Arrow Video have created an incredible steelbook packed with features for fans.
A post-apocalyptic sci-fi film starring Harry Belafonte that examines issues of race and paranoia in 1959.
