The latest release from Radiance Films (and their final release of what has been a superb 1st year for them) is World Noir Vol 1, a box set containing three noir classics from around the world, with this particular collection concentrating on releases from the 1950s.1957s I Am Waiting is a Japanese noir which begins […]

After watching all the films in the newest Arrow western genre box set, I’m not going to go through each film and talk about the plot etc, but I have to admit that churning out basically what Arrow have concisely written on their website seems…daft. So: In Paolo Bianchini’s I Want Him Dead (1968), American […]

Well, this is a stonker from Arrow! A box set to end all boxsets for Chucky fans. Now we (as in horror film fans) all know the Don Mancini 1988 film ‘Child’s Play’ telling the story of serial killer Charles Lee Ray, who after being fatally shot in a toy store transfers his soul into […]

Can you believe Godzilla is almost 70? The first film was released in 1954 and Godzilla Minus One marks the 37th movie in the franchise.This could be viewed as a reboot prequel of sorts as it’s set in postwar Japan, and deals with a country and it’s people struggling to come to terms with that.

4K UHD: Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996)Having reviewed and enjoyed Arrow’s 4K UHD release of Tremors, I was delighted when the sequel was announced as another 4K UHD release.Set 6 years after the original movie (the same period between the movies themselves), Earl Bassett (Fred Ward) has long since used up the fame that was bestowed […]

This time unleashing all 26 episodes from Season 1 and 2 of The Clangers, now fully restored and presented from high-definition masters.Originally broadcast between 1969 and 1972, The Clangers was […]

I’d only ever watched the original Ginger Snaps movie back on its release over 20 years ago, so it was great to hear that the ever reliable Second Sight Films were releasing a limited edition Blu-ray box set of the full trilogy.Katharine Isabelle (Ginger) and Emily Perkins (Brigette) are sisters, with movies 1&2 set in […]

(Tina) There are 2 films that I’ve always dreaded having to write about; Blade Runner and Hellraiser. The reason I’m adverse to discussing these particular films is because they have such a deep emotional meaning to me that I am incapable of being objective about either of them, as I regard them both equally as films elevated above […]

4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD & Digital: Delicatessen (1991)I remember Delicatessen looking gorgeous when I first watched it on VHS over 30 years ago (was it really that long!?), but this new 4K restoration (and making its UHD debut) from Studiocanal looks amazing and showcases the work of co-directors Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, along with […]

Blu-ray: Memento (2000)Based on the short story by his brother Jonathan Nolan, Director Christopher Nolan kind of broke the mould and gave a whole new genre of film with Memento.It tells the story of Leonard Shelby, who we find out as the story progresses is a man who suffers from anterograde amnesia – short-term memory loss […]
