A family is torn apart in the Anniversary, the new thriller starring Diane Lane and Madeline Brewer. It should be said upfront, Anniversary, the new film from Polish Filmmaker Jan Komasa, is not for everyone.

The thrilling WW2 shark horror film Beast of War available on Digital thanks to Well Go USA!   Beast of War is the kind of B-Movie horror action film that’s clever, gory, and scary in all the right ways in a lean and mean 87-minute package.  Writer/Director Kiah Roache-Turner takes his talents from zombies (the Wyrmwood series) to killer spiders (

The Jim Carrey smash hit VFX Comedy The Mask comes to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video.   The Film Of the three films that Jim Carrey starred in during his historic run in 1994, The Mask is not only the best of the three but also holds up to the test of time.

Dan Curtis’ Classic Monsters brings the Director/Writer/Producer’s adaptations of three classic monsters restored to Blu-ray, thanks to Kino Lorber. The Film Dracula It’s always interesting how someone chooses to adapt Bram Stoker’s often-told horror classic.

Dan Curtis’s Dracula adaptation has interesting changes but allows for a truly wickedly fun performance by the vampy Jack Palance as the Count.

Marcus Nispel’s 2003 remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre comes to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video. The Film When I approach viewing any horror remake, I consider this: why remake it? After Gus Van Sant’s “Psycho” thing, I’ve had to ask myself this question, and especially half a decade later, when they decided to remake arguably one of the seminal horror films of the 1970s.

The prequel to the 2003 hit remake Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning comes to 4K UHD thanks to Arrow Video. The Film Prequels be prequeling. That’s the name of the game here. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning purposes you want to know about how Leatherface and family became who they became, the murderous family they are. The film is as narratively inert as any prequel that was made in that era.

Third time’s the charm for Charles Bronson who goes sorched earth in Death Wish 3.  New to 4K UHD from Kino Lorber.  The Film There are so many questions one has when watching Death Wish 3.

Director Mark Lester and Screenwriter Larry Cohen team up for the psycho-sexual thriller The Ex.  New to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.  The Film The Ex, like its title character, was done dirty. The Larry Cohen-scripted, Mark Lester-directed sexual thriller deserved better than a DTV release. Like its title character, there is a smarter-than-average mean mean-spirited, truly devilishly wicked cult classic waiting to be discovered.
