When Strangers with Candy hit theaters in 2005, it was already something of a niche project. Based on the cult Comedy Central series of the same name, the film serves as a prequel to the show and follows Jerri Blank (Amy Sedaris), a 46-year-old ex-junkie and ex-con who decides to restart her life by going back to high school. If that setup sounds absurd, that’s the point—and the tone.

After more than a decade in the coffin, the popular horror series is officially back—and Final Destination: Bloodlines makes it clear this franchise still has some life left in it. Or, more accurately, some very creative ways to take life away. Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, this sixth entry doesn’t just pick up where things left off—it digs into the past to reframe everything we thought we knew. It’s the rare legacy horror sequel that feels both nostalgic and unexpectedly ambitious.

The Creepers are thrill-seeking urban explorers who love pushing things to the edge, and their latest stunt – livestreaming from New Jersey’s abandoned Paragon Hotel – is their biggest yet. With its mobster past, supposed ghosts, and rumored stash of $300 million, the Paragon is catnip to the Creepers, a surefire way to increase their fanbase. But fear has other plans. Daring to enter the Paragon, not heeding the warnings, the Creepers fend off deadly rivals while supernatural creatures stalk them from the shadows, testing their endurance, sanity, and willingness to pay fame’s heavy price.

Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland team up for Warfare, the 2025 A24 war film that might be one of the most intense cinematic experiences of the year—and also one of the most divisive. It’s visceral, grim, and deeply committed to realism, but it also stumbles into its own ambition more than once. This is not your standard war movie, and that’s both its strength and its weakness.
Alfred Hitchcock is a name that’s synonymous with suspense and thrills. The twisted humor and macabre moments are icons of the genres of mystery and thriller are fantastic pieces in the storied halls of cinema. As the 50’s evolved into the 60’s, Hitchcock films got more grand and in the Mid-50’s with Vistavision, those films were huge scale and marvelous. Take To Catch A Thief for example! Now entering its 70th year, the film is now available in a limited edition steelbook, with its previously released 4K disc! The lush film has never looked better and the steelbook is a perfect compliment.

When Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World hit theaters in 2002, it was something of a quiet giant. It didn’t explode at the box office in the way a $150 million film typically aims to, but those who saw it immediately recognized its depth, sophistication, and attention to detail. Peter Weir’s film was a critical darling, earning 10 Oscar nominations and winning two, including Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing. Still, it was often labeled “slow” by general audiences who were perhaps expecting something closer to Pirates of the Caribbean, which had launched around the same time. What they got instead was a meticulously crafted historical drama about leadership, loyalty, and life aboard a Royal Navy ship in the Napoleonic Wars.

With Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios dives into murkier moral waters than its usual superhero fare, offering a gritty, character-driven ensemble piece that feels like The Suicide Squad filtered through the MCU’s polished lens. Directed by Jake Schreier (Robot & Frank), this 2025 entry trades in the multiverse madness and cosmic chaos for something more grounded, if not always more cohesive. The result is an intriguing, uneven, but ultimately worthwhile addition to Marvel’s ever-expanding world.

Benicio del Toro in a Wes Anderson movie is already something to see. Now picture him as a ruthless billionaire named “Zsa-zsa,” dodging assassins in silk pajamas and barking orders from a bulletproof gondola. The Phoenician Scheme is Anderson at his most playful and most precise, layered, colorful, and just a little unhinged. It’s a story about legacy, faith, and strange family reunions, wrapped in beautiful sets, dry humor, and the kind of handcrafted detail only Anderson can pull off.

Some films pull you in with warmth and clarity. Others hold you at arm’s length, abstract and cold by design. Through and Through (1973), the debut feature by Polish director Grzegorz Królikiewicz, lands in the latter category. Set in 1930s Kraków, it tells the story of a struggling couple pushed to a breaking point, blending stark imagery with unconventional structure. Radiance Films now brings this hard-to-find title to Blu-ray with a sharp new transfer and a thoughtful restoration that gives this bold, difficult film a proper home.
If you collect classic horror on physical media, this one’s essential. The Old Dark House (1932) creeps its way onto 4K UHD Blu-ray from Eureka’s Masters of Cinema line, fully restored in Dolby Vision and packed with extras. Long overshadowed by Whale’s other monster hits (Frankenstein, The Invisible Man), this moody mix of gothic weirdness and pitch-black comedy finally gets the high-definition treatment it deserves. Whether you’re in the UK or importing this Region B release elsewhere, This Old Dark House 1932 4K UHD Blu-ray review proves this isn’t just for completists — it’s for anyone who loves their horror fog-drenched, thunder-lit, and deeply strange.

A maverick of independent cinema, Larry Cohen made a habit of transforming the seemingly benevolent into the malevolent: infants in It’s Alive, ice cream in The Stuff, police officers in Maniac Cop and the personification of the United States in Uncle Sam. In The Ambulance, it is the very thing that should save our lives that might transport us to our deaths. When comic book artist Josh (Eric Roberts) meets Cheryl (Janine Turner) in New York City, he believes he might have run into the woman of his dreams. But just as they are getting to know each other, Cheryl begins to feel ill. She is picked up by an ambulance – and then disappears into thin air. Unable to track her to any of the city’s hospitals, Josh learns that Cheryl is not the only missing person connected to the mysterious ambulance and takes it upon himself to investigate an apparent conspiracy to kidnap people from the streets of New York. But Josh’s interference isn’t welcomed – either by Lieutenant Frank Spencer of the NYPD (James Earl Jones) or the sinister forces behind the ambulance itself… One of Larry Cohen’s most underrated and underseen films (featuring an unlikely cameo by Marvel legend Stan Lee), The Ambulance deserves to reach the same cult status as his earlier horror movies It’s Alive, God Told Me To, Q – The Winged Serpent and The Stuff. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK. Continue reading ‘The Ambulance (1990) on Blu-ray October 13!’

It has been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected, but other survivors as well.

A Spanish-French co-production directed by the inimitable Jesús “Jess” Franco (Count Dracula) from a screenplay by Jean-Claude Carrière (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie), The Diabolical Dr Z – also known by its original Spanish title Miss Meurte – was released at the height of the gothic horror boom that swept Europe during the 1960s and followed Franco’s earlier gothic chillers The Awful Dr Orloff, The Sadistic Baron von Klaus and Dr Orloff’s Monster. An early film by a titan of cult cinema who would continue making films until his death in 2013, The Diabolical Dr Z is both an atmospheric and accomplished contribution to the European gothic horror cycle of the 1960s and a forerunner to the more outrageous exploitation films that would later catapult Franco to infamy. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK. Continue reading ‘The Diabolical Dr. Z on Blu-ray October 20!’
A Snapshot of 1998: The Year of Wild Ideas – The late ’90s were a strange and wonderful time for movies. It was the same summer that gave us Armageddon, The Truman Show, Saving Private Ryan, and Rush Hour. The box office was saturated with big-budget spectacle, disaster epics, and high-concept comedies. Nestled among these blockbusters was a modest, curious entry from director Joe Dante: Small Soldiers, a film that felt like it straddled the line between Toy Story and Terminator. Though it received a mixed reception upon release, Small Soldiers has since carved out a niche as a cult favorite, especially among those who were kids during its original run.
