[4K Ultra HD Review] Nightbreed; Now Available From Scream Factory

Nightbreed (Collector’s Edition) [4K Ultra HD]

Director: Clive Barker

Cast: Craig Sheffer, Anne Bobby, David Cronenberg

Release Date: August 1, 2023

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 9/10

Synopsis:

Boone (Craig Sheffer) may be a troubled young man, but his troubles are just beginning. Set up as the fall guy in a string of slasher murders, he decides he’ll hide by crossing the threshold that separates “us” from “them” and sneak into the forbidden subterranean realm of Midian. Boone will live among the monsters.

Hellraiser creator Clive Barker writes (adapting his novel Cabal) and directs this vivid leap into horror that asks: in the battle of man vs. monster, who’s really the monster? The answer supplies flesh-crawling suspense, sudden fear, a colorful Danny Elfman score and a creepy array of shape-shifting beings. They are the Nightbreed, denizens of a world beyond death, beyond the imagination, perhaps beyond anything you’ve seen.

Creepshow (1982) (Collector’s Edition) [4K Ultra HD]

Director: George A. Romero

Cast: Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Fritz Weaver

Release Date: June 27, 2023

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 9.5/10

Synopsis:

Masters of the macabre – writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero – conjure up five shocking yarns, each a virtuoso exercise in the ghouls-and-gags style of classic ’50s horror comics. A murdered man emerges from the grave for Father’s Day cake. A meteor’s ooze makes everything … grow. A professor selects his wife as a snack for a crated creature. A scheming husband plants two lovers up to their necks in terror. A malevolent millionaire with an insect phobia becomes the prey of a cockroach army. Add the spirited performances of an excellent cast (Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, E.G. Marshall and King himself) and the ghoulish makeup wizardry of Tom Savini, and you have a non-stop, thrilling ride that “plays like an anthology of human phobias” (Roger Ebert)!

Rebel Without a Cause [4K Ultra HD]

Director: Nicholas Ray

Cast: James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo

Release Date: April 18, 2023

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 8.5/10

Synopsis:

James Dean stars in a movie that shocked the United States with a performance that still electrifies the screen twenty-five years after his untimely death prior to the film’s release. In this archetypal drama of teenage angst and rebellion, three high school students who should lead idyllic lives in their stable, comfortable suburban families explode with a violence and sexuality that their parents cannot understand. This film–which ripped the façade from the post-war American dream to expose the rage of the country’s youth–resonates with an energy that has made it a modern classic and a powerful coming-of-age story.
