Paranoiac – Collector’s Edition (Blu-ray Review)

Back in 2016, Universal pleased us Hammer Horror fans with the 8-Film Collection set. Beggars could not be choosers in that time. So an incorrect aspect ratio, “good enough” picture quality and no extras had to just be accepted. In 2022, Scream Factory will have completed a full-on revamp of that entire set with Collector’s Editions of every single film. Significant improvements in every aspect have made these such wonderful releases and easy to double dip on and buy as individual titles. This year starts of the three remaining with the Oliver Reed starring Paranoiac. It includes a new transfer and some new interviews and commentary track. The release date is February 8th and you can pre-order it now using the paid Amazon Associates link following the review. Still to come are Nightmare in March and Night Creatures in April.

Stage Fright (Blu-ray Review)

Stage Fright marks an exciting time in the catalog of Alfred Hitchcock on Blu-ray. The debut of it on Blu-ray means that realistically, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is the only film remaining to be released on Blu-ray. At the very least, its the last of his American output and the last that Warner has in their vault to transfer over to Blu-ray. A few years ago, it seemed like they were rolling out the remainder of his films they carried distribution rights to, but they stopped shy of Stage Fright and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Well, half that is taken care of now as Stage Fright will make its Blu-ray debut on January 25th. Included with the films new 4K transfer is a featurette looking at the making of the film and the original theatrical trailer. Surely, an exciting release for any Hitchock fan. You can order yourself a copy by using the paid Amazon Associates link following the review.

Over a decade since the fourth installment became the late Wes Craven’s final film, Scream returns to the sleepy albeit bloody town of Woodsboro.

One of the biggest horror franchises of all time has lasted three generations: from the slacker days of the nineties to the entitled millennials of the aughts.

Dune (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

Cleaning house with Why So Blu’s 2021 Top Ten lists, Dune might just be the one film we all strongly agreed on here at the site. And we are not alone in our love for one of the most impressive spectacles of the theater-going experience in the last year. Spoiling my review ahead, it absolutely winds up translating here to 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray which is another bit of Denis Villeneuve’s impressive talents, whether it be his preference to how people view the film or not (Which, I argue most of these “MUST BE SEEN IN THE THEATER TYPES” strictly are meaning for your first time and if that’s the best available offering). You can now own the film on the current best way to view it, 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray, having released on January 11th. It comes with a quaking Atmos tracks and some solid extras to fill out the experience. If you so please and haven’t done so yet, you can order Dune using the paid Amazon Associates link following the review.
