Color Out of Space 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Review
Color Out of Space might not have been completely my cup of tea as I prefer a more traditional horror, but I can acknowledge some of the creativity and there were a few great moments that presumably Lovecraft fans will appreciate.

The Hunt for Red October 4K Ultra HD Review
The Hunt for Red October isn’t a favorite of mine within the film franchise but is still a well done, submarine-based thriller and Alec Baldwin made for a fine Jack Ryan, just a shame he couldn’t continue beyond this film.

One Missed Call Trilogy Blu-ray Review
One Missed Call might not be in the top-tier when it comes to the creepy vengeful girl subgenre within J-horror and is entertaining and fairly engaging even with some of the tropes and clichés.
One Missed Call: Final Blu-ray Review
Once Missed Call: Final didn’t exactly take the trilogy out on top with some silly moments, even when taking into account the premise, and the acting wasn’t as strong in comparison.
One Missed Call 2 Blu-ray Review
One Missed Call 2 may not be as strong of a film as its predecessor and certainly plays fast and loose with any rules, if there are any, seemingly making it up as they went along. Having said that, I did like the two lead actors and still managed to be entertained.
One Missed Call Blu-ray Review
One Missed Call might not be in the top-tier when it comes to the creepy vengeful girl subgenre within J-horror and is entertaining and fairly engaging even with some of the tropes and clichés.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The Complete Series might be barebones, but nice to see Mill Creek release this in high-definition and in nice packaging (similar to their other series releases like The Mandy Project).

Snatchers Blu-ray Rundown
Snatchers, an out-there sci-fi comedy, comes to Blu-ray from Warner Brothers, set for release on February 18th and stars Mary Nepi and features include an audio commentary, deleted scenes and a featurette.
Motherless Brooklyn Blu-ray Review
Motherless Brooklyn is a nice little passion project from Edward Norton and you can see that come through with his direction and performance. However, that same passion also made for an overly long film.
Xtro 3 Blu-ray Rundown
Vinegar Syndrome releases (cult classic?) Xtro 3 onto the Blu-ray format which comes with a new transfer (what a time we live in) and is available to order on their website with a February 25th release date.
Shutter Island 4K Ultra HD Review
Shutter Island is an effective psychological-thriller featuring some good performances from an impressive cast, but what stood out to me was Scorsese’s precision direction.
When a Stranger Calls Blu-ray Review
When a Stranger Calls is an entertaining suspense-thriller featuring fine performances from lead actors Charles Durning and Carol Kane, and while this is a barebones release by Mill Creek, it is the right price point to pick up.
Edge of the Axe Blu-ray Review
Edge of the Axe has its moments here and there, but too many scenes, especially through the third act, were a bit dull and even with some decent kills, not sure if this is worth the price admission.
Two on a Guillotine Blu-ray Review
Two on the Guillotine comes to the Blu-ray format through the Warner Archive Collection, already available released on January 28. Although there are no features, the video/audio transfers were both well done.
