Welcome to another look at highlights arriving on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. This is an interesting week, with one notable studio title, a number of interesting independents, and a ton of older films receiving high-definition upgrades. So, if you can’t make it out to the movies this week, be sure to give one of these titles a try!
BIG NEW RELEASES!
AFFINITY – This independent action film was shot in Thailand and tells the story of an ex-Navy SEAL taking time off after suffering the effects of PTSD. He ends up in Bangkok, where he meets a mysterious woman and embarks on a relationship. When she is suddenly kidnapped, he goes out to find her, enlisting old friends and fighting his way past various baddies (it probably doesn’t do much for his condition as the bodies pile up). Right now, there are only a handful of reviews available for the title from online action-movie critics. They have been mostly positive with a few caveats. Most suggest that the cinematography and fight sequences are excellent. But they also admit that there are some issues with the story, including a sci-fi element that seems very out of place. It stars Marko Zaror, Louis Mandylor, Brooke Ence and Brahim Chab.
THE EMU WAR – Way back in 1932, there was a military operation to cull the emu population in Australia. It was not effective, with soldiers finding the zippy, flightless birds easily able to evade gunfire. The population did eventually drop, but it wasn’t as easy an operation as hoped for. This comedy from Down Under takes the form of an actual war movie, with a group of cadets being sent to the front lines to face off against armed avian foes. Expect plenty of over-the-top moments, exploding birds… and humans. The movie was released in its homeland in 2023 and hasn’t been seen by many outside its homeland. Of the few reviews that have appeared, reaction is all over the place. Some called the feature tasteless and unfunny in the extreme. Slightly more found it so memorably outrageous that they couldn’t help but be amused. The cast includes Damian Callinan, Lisa Fineberg, Aaron Gocs and Naomi Higgins.
THE GULLSPANG MIRACLE – Here’s another international title for your consideration. This documentary is a Scandinavian co-production and tells the story of two deeply religious, Norwegian sisters who decide to buy an apartment in Sweden. When they meet the owner and seller, they are shocked to discover that the individual looks identical to their sister, who committed suicide decades earlier. The person also goes by their sibling’s nickname. Initially, the pair consider what occurred as a sign from above, but shocking revelations may change a few minds. The press was very upbeat about this feature. One or two didn’t like the way the story was told, calling the film confusing and hard to follow. Everyone else wrote that this was a fascinating and compellingly told true story. They believed that the numerous twists and turns were remarkable.
JUST THE TWO OF US – A woman believes that she may have met the perfect partner. She commits completely to a life together, only to find his possessiveness causing issues. After a few episodes, the lead realizes that she is in a toxic relationship and that he may actually be dangerous. She must then attempt to escape his clutches without meeting a tragic end. This French effort received decent notices from reviewers. Nearly one-third did call the film routine, featuring one-note characters. They also stated that most reviewers would be able to predict the story’s turns immediately from the outset. However, the majority said that the performances were strong and that the filmmaker’s did an excellent job of depicting the horror, trauma and fear that the lead character feels. Virginie Efira, Melvil Poupaud, Dominique Reymond, and Virginie Ledoyen headline the picture.
THE LIFE OF CHUCK – The latest adaptation of a Stephen King work is this unusual tale with drama and fantasy elements. It includes three interconnected segments that involve an ordinary man named Chuck. One details a world in chaos, the second tells a story of a street musician who has an encounter with a businessman, while the third involves an orphaned child living with his grandparents. The film won awards at various film festivals and critics responded well to it. A small number weren’t left moved by the story, complaining that it became corny, overly sentimental, with a confusing final message. But the vast majority were charmed by the title character. They found the story unique, beautifully acted and filled with thought-provoking ideas. The film can be purchased in a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray pack or as a standalone Blu-ray. It stars Tom Hiddleston, Jacob Tremblay, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Mark Hamill and Mia Sara.
MISERICORDIA – After his boss passes away, an employee who was friends with the figure agrees to attend the funeral. He stays with the widow and gets into the middle of a strange situation. It seems that there has been a disappearance in the area, a neighbor has been threatening the household, and another acquaintance has arrived with a strange request. The protagonist tries to navigate all of these strange events and figure out the mystery of what her old boss was up to. This French-language European co-production made a very good impression on reviewers. A small number thought that the film went on a few too many tangents that went nowhere, and ultimately frustrated them. However, all others were taken in by all the unusual and occasionally humorous subplots, calling the movie clever and suggesting it made the viewer feel discomfort as they thought hard about the characters and their real intentions. The movie stars Félix Kysyl, Catherine Frot and Jean-Baptiste Durand.
RAGING GRACE – This British production involves an immigrant from the Philippines who moves to London with her young daughter to try and make a new start. The undocumented woman finds a position caring for a dying old man. The elderly figure begins conversing with the employee and her child, telling them about his familiarity with their home country. But as they learn more about the old man, dark and distributing events then occur that put the protagonists in grave danger. This picture did well on the festival circuit in 2023, but took a bit of time to find a North American distributor. Despite the delay, the press spoke highly of the film. A few complained that it was too blunt in its messaging and didn’t deliver enough scares to recommend. Everyone else thought the film was well-acted, atmospheric and eerie, with well-delivered commentary on the treatment of immigrants. It features Max Eigenmann, Leanne Best and David Hayman.
SORRY, BABY – A solitary literature professor in New England reunites with old acquaintances and is reminded of a horrible event during her time as a graduate student. After working closely with a professor whose work she admires, she is sexually assaulted by the instructor. The story follows her in the following months, and how she copes with the attack. This includes taking in a stray kitten. The independent feature had a strong run at festivals and received great write-ups. One or two didn’t think the movie was open enough about the lead’s struggles and didn’t think the use of humor at certain points was effective. All others called the movie a thoughtful dramatization of the experiences of a traumatized woman. They believed that the use of humor was effective and made the story all the more authentic and engrossing. The cast includes Eva Victor, Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges, Louis Cancelmi and Kelly McCormack.
WE MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD – This German production is another effort that was released a couple of years ago in Europe, but is only now arriving on disc in North America. The story is set in a secluded apartment block located on the edge of a forest. This tight-knit community lives a safe and sheltered existence, but don’t stray from the property. New tenants are rarely accepted and one gets the impression things are bad in the outside world. When the janitor’s dog disappears, grudges and conflicts arise, tempers flare, and the residents begin turning on each other. Most members of the press who saw this feature appreciated it. One or two voices thought the story dragged and that the filmmakers didn’t generate enough tension between the characters. Still, the majority were gripped by the story, stating that it was a beautifully shot dark comedy that clearly and efficiently shows how quickly civilization can fall apart and descend into chaos. Ioana Iacob, Pola Geiger and Jjorg Schuttauf headline the film.
BLASTS FROM THE PAST!
It’s a remarkably busy time for older features. Arrow Video is presenting a “Limited Edition” 4K Ultra HD of Creepshow 2 (1987) (no Blu-ray is included). This anthology chiller, inspired by EC comic books, features three tales of terror involving all sorts of nastiness like a murderous statue, a blob in a lake and a vengeful zombie hitchhiker. It isn’t nearly as good as the 1982 original, but does have its moments. The 35mm original film negative has been newly scanned, restored and presented in Dolby Vision for this release.
Extras include a commentary with director Michael Gornick, an archival interview with screenwriter Geoge A. Romero, a talk with makeup effects and actor Tom Savini, as well as several other discussions with cast and crew. You’ll also see a behind-the-scenes featurette on the makeup work, an image gallery, trailers and TV spots, and a couple of drafts of the screenplay. The movie comes in a slipbox with an insert booklet. There is also a comic adaptation of a segment called Pinfall that was never filmed – it involves bowlers who are killed and end up coming back as zombies to take revenge on those responsible in a manner appropriate to their hobby. The story is legendary and one of those that writer Romero always wanted to shoot, but never managed to. Read a full review of the disc right here.
The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008) is also arriving as a 4K Ultra HD “Limited Edition”. This cult western from South Korea involves two outlaws looking for treasure while evading the Japanese army and Chinese bandits. Both the international and Korean versions of the picture are included and come from a 4K master presented in Dolby Vision and approved by the director. There is an introduction to the picture with the director, a film historian commentary, and two archival commentaries on each cut from the filmmaker (one track also features the cast, and the cinematographer joins in on the second). You’ll also get archival features like an interview with the director, and the martial arts coordinator, as well as publicity materials. It comes with a book featuring writing on the movie, three postcard artcards, and a double-sided fold-out poster with original and newly created art for the feature (which also appears on the reversible sleeve).
Raw Meat (1972) aka Death Line is a British/American horror film with Donald Pleasance and Scotland Yard hunting down cannibals hiding deep in abandoned areas of the London subway system. It’s a gritty, atmospheric and effective effect effort that has a few shocks and was the first film from director Gary Sherman (Dead & Buried, Vice Squad, Poltergeist III). Blue Underground is delivering the film as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo (it can also be purchased as on Blu-ray only).
The release contains a commentary with director Sherman, producer Paul Maslansky and the assistant director. Additionally, there is a new film historian commentary, an interview with Sherman and the executive producers Paul, discussions with cast members, and a ton of publicity materials. Read a full review of this release by clicking on the link here.
Drug-O-Rama Video Party from AGFA is a Blu-ray set containing the grindhouse features Help Wanted Female (1968), Hedonistic Pleasures (1969), Alice in Acidland (1969) and The Hard Road (1970). All of these hard-to-find drive-in exploitation titles are preserved from the original 1990s V-VHS masters. It comes with trailers and drive-in snipes, a promotional gallery, a “slumber party” mode and a booklet with writing on the titles.
The Canadian International Pictures Blu-ray release of the early LGBTQ-themed Canadian drama Winter Kept Us Warm (1965) was a Vinegar Syndrome exclusive. It is now available from most retailers and features too many bonuses to list here. You’ll get audio commentaries, cast and crew interviews, deleted scenes, short films, promo materials and more.
You can now pick up a “Standard Edition” 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo of Breathless (1983) everywhere from Cinematographe. This is a remake of the 1960 French Jean-Luc Godard feature. In this effort, Richard Gere takes the lead role as a criminal whose past begins to catch up with him. This version contains the same 4K restoration from the original camera negative and extras as the previously released set and promises a director commentary, a film expert commentary, new interviews with the director, and casting director, as well as a video essay, deleted scenes and alternate ending and a trailer.
Swimming to Cambodia (1987) is also getting a “Standard Edition” Blu-ray from the distributor that will be widely available. It’s a recording of Spalding Gray recounting his experiences in Cambodia on the set of The Killing Fields, and how it changed him. This release also contains a film critic commentary, an interview with the director of The Killing Fields, new interviews with the producers, an archival video with director Jonathan Demme and two podcast episodes with Demme discussing the film and the late Gray.
Criterion is delivering one of their most notable box-sets ever. The Wes Anderson Archive: Ten Films, Twenty-Five Years contains 4K Ultra HD and Blu-rays of Bottle Rocket (1996)), Rushmore (1998), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), The Darjeeling Limited (2007), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), Moonrise Kingdom (2012), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), Isle of Dogs (2018) and The French Dispatch (2021). Several of these films are masterpieces and all are worth a watch (at least if you ask me). All of the movies are presented with new 4K masters in Dolby Vision, and come with over 25-hours of extras including audio commentaries, interviews, deleted scenes, promo materials, and just about anything else you could possibly want.
For those who are happy with previously released 4K versions of Anderson’s films, the last two movies in the package, Isle of Dogs (2018) and The French Dispatch (2021), are being released on their own as 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combos and standalone Blu-rays. Those two currently aren’t available as 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray sets, so that issue has been rectified.
5 Dead on the Crimson Canvas (1996) is an ultra-low-budget, shot on Super-8, made-in-New-York homage to films of Dario Argento and Mario Bava. Degausser Video is delivering the flick on Blu-ray, newly transferred and restored from the best surviving tape master. It comes with a filmmaker commentary, a 41-minute documentary on the production, an interview with a cast member, a video essay, and promo materials.
The drama Redlands (2014), set in the title California town, is arriving on Blu-ray from Dekanalog. It comes with a deleted scene, an extended scene, additional shorts by the moviemaker, a trailer and a booklet with writing on the picture.
If you’re a fan of 1980s horror, then you’ll be very familiar with the great 1985 vampire horror/comedy Fright Night. You’re So Cool, Brewster! The Story of Fright Night (2016) is a documentary about the movie that is arriving on Blu-ray from ETR Media. It goes into great detail on the enduring film, as well as its 1988 sequel that includes behind-the-scenes stories and new footage from the original’s director. Naturally, the disc also comes with loads of extra interviews and other frills.
Film Movement is presenting the award-winning South Korean documentary My Love, Don’t Cross That River (2014) on Blu-ray about an aging couple dealing with mortality. Deleted scenes and a booklet with writing on the picture is also included.
The Danish/Swedish period coming-of-age drama Pelle the Conqueror (1987) won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film back in the day and is now arriving on Blu-ray. It arrives with a film scholar commentary track and a booklet with writing on the movie.
Young & Beautiful (2013) is a French drama and Cannes Palme d’Or nominee about a call girl that is appearing on Blu-ray from IFC Films. This disc contains commentary from a film authority, archival cast and crew interviews, deleted scenes, footage from the movie’s Cannes premiere, and a booklet with an essay on the feature.
The Philippines effort Bona (1980) is about a female, obsessive movie fan who begins stalking her favorite performer, an actor known for bit parts. Kari is presenting a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo of the title. The movie is presented in Dolby Vision and the set contains cast and crew interviews, as well as a bonus short film and trailer.
The Japanese effort Freeze Me (2000) is arriving on Blu-ray from Kano. It’s considered one of the more shocking exploitation titles of its day. The film has been newly restored in 2K and includes an interview with the cinematographer and a booklet with writing on the picture.
Kino is delivering some major releases this week, at least, if you like disaster movies. They are presenting a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray of Airport (1970), Airport 1975 (1974), Airport ‘77 (1977) and The Concorde… Airport ’79 (1979), all of which feature planes in peril. Blu-ray only versions of these films are also available.
The original Airport featured Dean Martin, George Kennedy, Burt Lancaster and more on a commercial flight troubled by a snowstorm and a mad bomber. Truthfully, it also seemed a bit pokey and melodramatic to me, but it was a massive hit in its day, jumpstarting the 1970s disaster movie craze. This edition includes a 4K scan of the 35mm interpositive presented in Dolby Vision. It comes with a film historian commentary and a trailer.
If you ask me, Airport 1975 is a lot more fun. Charlton Heston, Karen Black, Helen Reddy (as a singing nun), Susan Clark, Linda Blair, Sid Ceasar, a returning George Kennedy and many more star in this story, about a 747 that gets into a mid-air collision. Its passengers must find a way to land safely. For this title, a 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative was created and is presented in Dolby Vision. Extras include a film historian commentary, and trailer.
I also have a soft-spot for Airport ‘77, in which a luxury passenger plane crashes into the Atlantic and sits on a precipice under the sea in the Bermuda Triangle. The survivors try to keep the water from leaking in while rescue crews try to find them. It’s silly like the others, but at least the concept is unique and features some fun moments. This effort stars Jack Lemmon, Lee Grant, Joseph Cotton, Brenda Vaccaro, Darren McGavin, Christopher Lee, Kathleen Quinlan and Gil Gerard. There are also brief appearances from James Stewart, and, of course, George Kennedy. The image comes from a 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative presented in Dolby Vision, and the feature arrives with a film expert commentary and trailer.
And of course, The Concorde… Airport ’79 is also arriving on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray or Blu-ray only. This came near the end of the disaster movie craze and is a giant, hilarious mess. George Kennedy stars with Alain Delon as pilots of a Concorde jet headed to the Olympics in Moscow. When sinister forces decide to shoot down their plane, the leads do everything they can to get to the games. This effort is famous for featuring the lead characters doing a loop in the plane, opening the pilot’s window of the aircraft and shooting a flare into the sky as a decoy to stop a missile from hitting them. Other crazy stuff happens too, and the list of stars are like something you’d see in an episode of The Love Boat. It features Robert Wagner, Susan Blakely, Eddie Albert, Charo, John Davidson, Jimmy Walker, Martha Raye, David Warner and more. And yes, the new master contains a 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative in Doby Vision, along with a film historian commentary and a trailer. You’ll never see this so-bad-it’s-good title looking this amazing again.
And if you are excited by these titles, there will be a 4K Ultra HD only box set of the series that will arrive on October 28th.
Kino also is releasing a Blu-ray called Dan Curtis’ Late-Night Murder Mysteries that features four TV-movies from the director that aired on ABC. You’ll get Shadow of Fear (1974), The Invasion of Carol Enders (1974), Come Die with Me (1974) and Nightmare at 43 Hillcrest (1974). There are introductions to all the films by an authority on Curtis (who also created Dark Shadows, made The Night Stalker, Trilogy of Terror and, umm, Supertrain), and expert commentary tracks on everything as well.
Deepstar Six (1989) is being reissued on Blu-ray from the distributor as well with the same specs as the previous Blu-ray edition (it can also be purchased as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray set).
The early Yorgos Lanthimos effort Dogtooth (2009) is arriving in a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray set and as a Blu-ray-only release. This dark comedy and Best Foreign Language Film nominee at the Academy Awards is about three children who are put through some unusual tests by their parents, who want to protect them from the outside world. Lanthimos supervised this 4K restoration that is presented in Dolby Vision. A commentary with the stars of the film is included, along with a film historian track, multiple interviews with the filmmaker (from 2019 and 2009), deleted scenes and trailers.
The .44 Specialist (1976) aka Mark Colpisce Ancora is getting a Blu-ray from RaroVideo U.S.. This Italian film is about a cop who must go undercover to track down two killers connected to the drug world. You’ll get the original Italian and English audio tracks, a film historian commentary and a trailer.
King Kung Fu (1976) is a curiously titled effort coming on Blu-ray from Reel Vault Inc. that follows a kung-fu fighting gorilla from China who gets loose in Wichita, Kansas and causes havoc. A making-of is featured as an extra.
Severin is presenting an extras-filled 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and CD box called Danza Maracbra: Volume Four – The Italian Gothic Collection which boasts the Italian genre pictures Terror Creatures from the Grave (1965), Night of the Damned (1971), The Devil’s Wedding Night (1973) and Baba Yaga (1973). All of the films have received 4K restorations from the original camera negative and film historian audio commentaries, cast and crew interviews and more. A Blu-ray and CD only version can also be purchased.
Shout Factory is presenting a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo Amazon exclusive Steelbook of the sequel, Halloween II (1981). Expect it to be exactly the same as the previous 4K version, just in different packaging.
You can also pick up the Hong Kong Gamblers & Gangsters Blu-ray box set, featuring the Hong Kong efforts Casino Tycoon (1992), Casino Tycoon II (1992), Challenge of the Gamesters (1981), Destiny’s Champion (1984), Godfather from Canton (1982) and Loving You (1995). These notable films arrive on disc with movie expert commentary tracks, critic interviews on the movies and trailers.
The Jessica Chastain chiller Mama (2013) is appearing as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray “Collector’s Edition”. Guillermo del Toro produced this tale about two girls who reappear after a long disappearance and start terrifying their uncle and his girlfriend. The movie has been given a 4K restoration for this release, new interviews with crew members, an original short from director/co-writer Andy Muschietti (It, It Chapter Two, The Flash) with an intro from del Toro, along with an archival commentary with Muschietti and producer/co-writer Barbara Muschietti, deleted scenes and a featurette.
You can also pick up a Blu-ray of the charming European animated film My Life as a Zucchini (2016). The disc also has a making-of, an animated short, and trailers.
Shudder is putting another horror title from their streaming service on Blu-ray. This time it’s Revealer (2022) and it arrives with multiple filmmaker commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, a video essay on the movie and more.
The independent zombie film The Dead Next Door (1989) is appearing on Blu-ray (or on DVD) from Tempe Digital. A 4:3 1080p HD master painstakingly created in 2015 from a 2K restoration using the original Super-8mm film elements. The disc also contains a selection of key behind-the-scenes bonus materials and audio commentaries from previous releases.
Universal Studios is delivering the popular teen sex-comedy American Pie (1999) in a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray set, as well as a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Steelbook. The press release states that the discs also contain three hours of bonus material.

Available now through the Vinegary Syndrome website, you can purchase a double-feature Blu-ray containing The Black Panther of Shaolin (1975) and Black Six (1973). The first title in this set from AGFA is a Filipino martial arts film. The image was taken from the only known 35mm print in existence. And the second is considered one of, if not the first all-black biker movies. Mean Joe Greene appears in this title in which a motorcycle gang takes on white supremacists. The feature was preserved from a 35mm print. The second disc in the set contains Martial Arts Mayhem Volumes 1 to 3, three compilation efforts taken from the original 1980s S-VHS masters.
Cold Journey (1975) is a Manitoba-set coming-of-age tale about a First Nations teen trying to find his place in the world. The film was based on a true story.
