Ever since House Of The Devil, Ti West will always have my attention and my dollar. I’m very interested in anything he does. His latest effort, The Sacrament, I caught on VOD a few months ago as it didn’t play in any theaters here. And its a pretty unique little animal he’s constructed. Yes, groan now, it uses the found footage device as its storytelling method. However, it overcomes that with some strong performances from its characters (including Amy Seimetz! yay!) who don’t seem treat it like its a found footage movie. It’s also one of those eerie movies that get right under your skin. Ti West infuses his patience and restraint once again in this slow-burn thriller. Even when everything seems ok in this film, you just don’t trust it and you feel very uncomfortable. You’ll be able to check it out for yourself on Blu-ray in a little under a month. One little complaint…I wish they had used the original theatrical poster for the cover of the Blu-ray. It was so damn cool. This is just, well, mediocre and very “also ran”. 
I called this back on April 3, “but anyway”. Yes, we have another Wishlist title making its way to glorious Blu-ray. The Farrelly Brothers’ severely underrated Woody Harrelson/Randy Quaid/Vanessa Angel/Billy Murray bowling comedy is set to drop in just a few months. And its porting its extras over as well as having some new interviews. Its being sold as a “cult comedy” so it looks like Aaron Neuwirth and myself are not its only fans. This may wind up being just some cheap $9.99 bargain bin Blu-ray in the end, but that $9.99 bargain bin Blu-ray is my X marks the spot gold inside a treasure chest on Skull Island. I’m excited and you should be too, to give this overlooked film another try. To read my plead for it to come to Blu-ray

I am sooooo damn excited for this box set I just can’t stand it. I’ve owned everything and anything from this series and getting it again has me more excited than ever. TONS of new material coming your way folks. They have Scream Factory’d Halloween 6: Producer’s Cut, Halloween: H20, Halloween 4 and Halloween 5 for your liking. Halloween 4 and 5 have the same discs Anchor Bay released, but their mini retrospective docs appear on Disc 15 (yes, disc 15!!!). And look at all these awesome people who came onboard for this. It is OUTSTANDING! Michael Myers pretty much has said “take that Jason! Take that Freddy! What’s your name…Chucky?” If you haven’t pre-ordered it yet, c’mon…what are you waiting for? Today’s announcement is proof you are getting a STEAL with that price. Is it freaking September yet? I cannot wait!

Here’s another little film from last year I was trying to spread the word out on. THE BATTERY is the best zombie film in maybe a decade. Jeremy Gardner takes a very low budget, simplistic approach and comes up with possibly one of the most realistic portrayals of the zombie apocalypse. I can’t sing this movie high enough praises. Everyone was wondering who was going to get to release it on home video and BOOM, like all the other prayers they seem to answer, Scream Factory came through. I can say without a doubt this is THE BEST modern title they’ve put out. Its that damn good. See for yourself on September 16!
I love this announcement as you’ll remember it appeared on my first wishlist. I’m a big fan of effects legend Stan Winston’s directorial debut. Its a terrific throwback monster/effects movie that is filled with suspense and kills. Its also got a great performance from Lance Henriksen. Pumpkinhead truly is a unique experience and one that I’ve been pining to have on Blu-ray. I would taken a barebones copy, but wow, I feel spoiled with Scream Factory getting it and treating it right. Its got a slew of all new bonus features and I just can’t wait to dig into it! Below you’ll find all the goodies and information about this release as well as a preorder link.

Two years ago, filmmakers Howard J. Ford and Jon Ford took international audiences on an unforgettable journey through a zombie-infected African veldt with the critically acclaimed and audience favorite The Dead. Setting a new standard for the zombie film, the Ford Brothers have now raised the survival stakes to new dramatic heights with the September 16th Blu-ray and DVD release of The Dead 2. Seems only natural a sequel should follow, right?! That’s what I think too! So join me in checking out the rest of the press release below for everything you want to know and can expect from this Blu-ray horror title. Enjoy! 
Olive Films newest rescue, Arch Of Triumph, is a 1948 film that comes as an adaptation from a book with the same name. The film’s original script featured much more ruthless violence, but the MPAA had all this stuff removed before the script was even to be shot. And originally it didn’t include a love story either, but that was added to make it have more commercial appear (leading to the original writer to call it quits). This aspect landed them a superstar in actress Ingrid Bergman. Arch Of Triumph wound up being remade or re-adapted in 1985. This time it was a BBC TV movie that had legendary Anthony Hopkins in the lead role.
