Universal Horror Collection: Volume 4 features two non-horror entries by Boris Karloff, and two horror entries featuring Lionel Atwill, Bela Lugosi, and Rondo Hatton.
Warning Sign is an enjoyable science fiction film involving a pathogen outbreak. The film benefits from good casting and cinematography by Dean Cundey.
Perfect Blue is a fantastic psychological thriller. Satoshi Kon’s first film had a lasting impact on other director’s work and remains one of the finest anime films.
8 Million Ways to Die is an interesting failure. There is a good film inside of what is presented, but Hal Ashby never got the chance he deserved to cut the film his way. I am really thankful that Kino Lorber has given the film a chance to find an audience on Blu-ray.
Assault on Precinct 13 finds John Carpenter crafting his trademark style with his sophomore feature. Shout!Factory has released the film with some great supplements and a sharp transfer.
The River’s Edge is an unsentimental color noir with strong performances by Ray Milland and Anthony Quinn.
Sylvester Stallone, Billy Dee Williams, and Rutger Hauer Star in this early-Eighties thriller. Aside from a fairly ridiculous ending, the film works pretty well. Shout!Factory have given it a great special edition.
Based on a Cornell Woolrich novel, The Leopard Man stands as one of the best films of the Val Lewton RKO pictures run. Shout!Factory have given it a pristine release.
The Chairman is almost a classic, but a limp middle act hampers the film from its true potential.
Behold a Pale Horse is an excellent drama that takes place just after the Spanish Civil War. Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif, and Anthony Quinn all turn in fantastic performances.
