Arrow Video's 4K Ultra HD Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment Collection Ready For Fans On Oct. 22

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
It was just a short story, a novella, published in 1986 by Clive Barker and titled “The Hellbound Heart.”   Who could have imagined that it would spawn a four-film cycle beginning the following year that still resonates to this day.

It gets better, Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, announced this past week that Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, along with the three sequels — Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth and Hellraiser: Bloodline — will be released as a 4K Ultra HD collection (4K restorations from the original camera negatives) titled Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment on Oct. 22.

So let us get right to it … what is included in this stunning 4K Ultra HD collection from Arrow Video!!

Hellraiser (disc one) features a newly-minted commentary with film historian Stephen Jones and author/film critic Kim Newman.   This is paired with two archival commentaries featuring Clive Barker and Barker with actor Ashley Laurence (Kristy) as moderated by screenwriter Peter Atkins.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
There are four newly-produced featurettes — “Power of Imagination,” “Unboxing Hellraiser,” “Flesh is a Trap” and “The Pursuit of Possibilities” — plus an unearthed EPK featuring interviews shot during the production of Hellraiser —  Barker, Laurence, f/x artist Bob Keen and actors Andrew Robinson (Larry) and Clare Higgins (Julia) are featured.

That’s a load, but not done yet.   Additionally, there are three vintage featurettes included with this 4K Ultra HD edition of Hellraiser — “Being Frank: Sean Chapman on Hellraiser,” “Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser” and “Soundtrack Hell: The Story of the Abandoned Coil Score.”

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
The second disc featuring the sequel, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, begins with a newly-produced documentary (feature-length, 80 minutes) titled Hell was What They Wanted! and a pair of commentary options — the first with director Tony Randel, who is joined by Laurence and screenwriter Peter Atkins … the second features just Randel and Atkins. 

There is a new featurette titled “The Rat-Slice Sound,” vintage video sessions with Barker and members of the cast and crew, behind the scenes footage and three vintage featurettes — “Being Frank: Sean Chapman on Hellbound,” “Under the Skin: Doug Bradley (aka: Pinhead) on Hellbound” and “Lost is the Labyrinth.”

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Up next (disc three) are two viewing options for Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth — theatrical cut and unrated — and two commentary options … Atkins on the theatrical cut and director Anthony Hickox and Bradley on the unrated presentation of the film.

There is a newly located extended EPK featuring Barker and Bradley, f/x dailies and three archival featurettes — “Time with Terri,” “Raising Hell on Earth” and “Under the Skin: Doug Bradly on Hellraiser III.”

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
And lastly (disc four), we have Hellraiser: Bloodline, which has a new commentary featuring Atkins, who is joined by Stephen Jones and Kim Newman.   Plus, There is a “work print” viewing option, a new featurette titled “The Beauty of Suffering,” documentary filmmaker Anthony Masi’s 2015 film titled Hellraiser: Evolutions and the archival featurette titled “Books of Blood and Beyond: The Literary Works of Clive Barker.

That is one HELL of a 4K Ultra HD collection from Arrow Video on Oct. 22.  There is also a Blu-ray collection available from Arrow on the same date.

Wild Eye Releasing Preps Two New DVD Releases Timed For The Halloween Promotional Season • Mummy Shark On Oct. 8 • Catnado On Oct. 22

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Wild Eye Releasing, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, is out early with two new Halloween-season DVD releases.   This gives Wild Eye plenty of time to beat those promotional drums and get genre fans ready for some fun — along with chills and thrills — this October.

First up is the Oct. 8 DVD debut of writer/director Mark Palonia’s latest addition to his series of films focusing on the terror visited by the various Selachimorpha species that inhabit the oceans of our planet.   

Of course we are speaking of sharks, of which Palonia is no stranger … Sharkenstein, Land Shark, Shark Encounters of the Third Kind, Virus Shark, Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse and more, including last year’s hit shark creature feature, Cocaine Shark.

This time the terror can be savored in his film production of Mummy Shark, which combines the horror elements associated with the deep blue sea (and the dead-eyed creatures therein) with the tried and true terror elements associated with the mysteries of ancient Egypt (calling Imhotep).

Hidden for timeless centuries within an ancient Egyptian pyramid are the mummified remains of a species of shark, perhaps so unique that this Selachimorpha is not of this earth!  Beware the ancient curse!!

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Bonus features include commentary by filmmaker Mark Palonia.

The second entry in Wild Eye Releasing’s Halloween film sweepstakes is cutting edge in its timing.   Not only does Catnato — making its DVD debut on Oct. 22 — catch the summer winds of director Lee Isaac Chung’s blockbuster remake of Twister (Twisters), but it also rides the Twitterverse waves of J.D. Vance’s “Cat” comments that sparked instant outrage! 

Cats and twisters, who could ask for more!!

This anthology film features such CATastrophe “tails” as “Of Cats and Men,” “The Catburglar,” “Nightmare at 10,000 Feet,” “Apocalypse Meow,” “Crimes and Felines” and “Cosmic Catnado.” 

If you enjoyed Sharkado, then Catnado will be like a double-dose of genre-fan catnip on DVD …. Oct. 22 from Wild Eye Releasing!

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - Black And Chrome 4K Ultra HD Edition • Mad Max: 5-Film 4K Ultra HD Collection From Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment On Aug. 13

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Director George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was announced on June 24 for a full spread physical media launch on Aug. 13, so it was something of a surprise — a pleasant surprise we might add — that another Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga announcement surfaced this past week.

This new one features the five films in the series (all of which have been released individually) as 4K Ultra HD editions — Mad Max, The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Mad Max: Fury Road and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga — plus a presentation of
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga – Black and Chrome Edition
(essentially a specially-prepared black and white (chrome) version of the film.



Writer/director Michael Sarnoski's A Quiet Place: Day One Makes Its Full-Spread Physical Media Debut On Oct. 8

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Paramount Home Entertainment has officially selected Oct. 8 as the street date for the full spread physical media launch of writer/director Michael Sarnoski’s A Quiet Place: Day One.

The ARR is 102 days and the domestic box office haul currently stands at an impressive $134.2 million.

Planned for distribution on Oct. 8 are stand-alone DVD and Blu-ray editions, plus a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack purchasing option.
  

A premium VOD window opens on July 30, which likely means that the very sophisticated “Helper” community will have their own Blu-ray product offerings ready to go on the same day.   

This works out to a full ten-week window between the release of “Helper” pirated physical media editions of A Quiet Place: Day One and the real ones from Paramount.

As to bonus features, there are deleted and extended scenes and five production featurettes — “Day Zero: Beginnings and Endings,” “In the City: Chaos in Chinatown,” “The Exodus: Against the Tide,” “The Long Walk: Monsters in Midtown” and “Pizza at the End of the World.”


Bayview Entertainment's Beautiful Accident Makes Its Blu-ray Debut On July 30

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Bayview Entertainment has locked into July 30 for the domestic Blu-ray debut of Ho Wi Ding’s 2017 film release of Beautiful Accident

Li Yu Ran (Lun-Mei Gwei — Girlfriend Boyfriend, Christmas Rose, A Leg and Black Coal, Thin Ice) is a high-powered lawyer enjoying the good life when she suddenly awakes (after a car accident) and finds herself in the hand of “Fate” (think: Heaven Can Wait), where there has been a clerical mix-up of universal proportions.   Her untimely death will all get sorted out, but it might take a week … or two.

In the meantime, she will inhabit the body of a recently deceased housewife, the mother of Xing Xing, “her” bad-tempered teenage daughter and Tian Tian, “her” young son.   Despite the Station Masters (at the office of “Fate”) assurances that no will notice, it doesn’t quite work out that way!!    Especially when Tian Tian begins to suspect that something is amiss.

This fantasy is great fun and quite a surprise.   Beautiful Accident is presented in Mandarin with English subtitles.

Documentary Filmmaker Alexandria Bomback's Indigo Girls: It's Only Life After All On Blu-ray And DVD From Oscilloscope Laboratories On Aug. 13

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
It is nice to report the release news for something special.   Something interesting.   Something that fans will enjoy.

Big movies, great, they can be fun.   Genre films, if that’s your cup of tea, wait a week and something new will be along.   Classics, take your pick.

The “something special” that surfaced this past week was the news from Oscilloscope Laboratories that documentary filmmaker Alexandria Bombach’s (@ABombach) award-winner, Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All, would be available on DVD and Blu-ray on Aug. 13.  This is an intimate look at the life and times … and music-making career of recording artists Indigo Girls (@Indigo_Girls) — Amy Ray and Emily Saliers!

Was the folk cycle over?   Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Pete Seeger, Kris Krisofferson … it is a long list.   By 1987 they had come and gone, but were still cherished.   Holly Near was a product of the 70s … she was still touring and her fans adored her.   But in 1987 a new folk revival was born.

In May of 1987 a new album surfaced, perhaps a little below the “popular” radar.  It was “Strange Fire” … it took ten years to be GOLD.   For fans, like us, “Crazy Game” was something new, something worth listening to … Amy and Emily had something.

They were just getting started … their next five albums were either Gold or Platinum.
Bomback’s Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All tells their story.   She had over 1,000 hours worth of candid footage featuring Amy and Emily … the finished film comes in at 123 minutes and gets right to the heart of their relationship, their music and is a tribute to the fans who have enjoyed their music over the past three and half decades.   This is a keeper!!

It opened at Sundance in January of 2023 and then went on a year-long odyssey, screening at such venues as South by Southwest, Hot Docs, Tribeca and dozens more festival sites.  In December of last year Oscilloscope acquired the distribution rights and set up a 98 screen theatrical break in April of this year.   The box office take was $232,803 … the ARR works out to 123 days.

Bonus goodies included with the Aug. 13 DVD and Blu-ray launch of Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All include commentary by Bomback (Frame by Frame, On Her Shoulders), deleted scenes, footage of the film’s theatrical debut at the Tara Theatre in Atlanta and a trio of featurettes — “Behind the Scenes,” “Amy Makes a Movie” and “Harmony with Joan Baez.”
