“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.
“Just a Gigolo” is an odd film starring the iconic David Bowie. Shout! Factory has given this curio filmed during Bowie’s Berlin period a good release, but the film’s merits are debatable.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the best Stephen King adaptations and one of Cronenberg’s better films. Shout! Factory has given the film the release it deserves and that fans have wanted.
“Event Horizon” was one of the better science fiction – horror hybrids to ever be made. Critics missed the mark on the film, but fans have kept it alive. The new Shout! Factory Collector’s Edition is solid.
“The Lawnmower Man” is probably the best known film from the brief boom of Cyber Cinema. Starring Jeff Fahey and Pierce Brosnan, it is a fun and fairly traditional science fiction film. The Shout! Factory Blu-ray is a definitive Collector’s Edition.
“Tales from the Hood” by writer/director Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott is a surprisingly insightful anthology film that examines urban horrors based in reality to great effect. The Shout! Factory Blu-ray comes recommended!
With Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, New Line Cinema took over the Friday the 13th franchise. The results are pretty bizarre. The film was released with a new 2K scan in the deluxe box set from Shout! Factory.
The WInd Rises is a beautifully written and directed film from master filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. The film may take place during some of the hardest times for the world, but the central story is focused on selfless love and the desire for artistic expression. Shout! Factory have given the film a pristine release.
