Now on Blu-ray Disc: Nothing Will Prepare You For THE HAND!

 

SCREAM FACTORY DELIVERS A STELLAR BLU-RAY RELEASE OF OLIVER STONE'S CLASSIC PSYHOLOGICAL HORROR TALE!

Initially available on a stand-alone DVD from Warner Bros. (and a 4-film set featuring DEADLY FRIEND, EYES OF A STRANGER, and SOMEONE IS WATCHING ME), Scream Factory gives THE HAND a much-needed upgrade with an all-new 2K scan of the interpositive, plus multiple new cast & crew interviews! I've honestly missed out on seeing this one myself (seems like it'd go well with IDLE HANDS or DEMONOID!), so I'll definitely be picking this title up at some point! Never heard of it or on the fence about adding this disc to your collection? Then let's take a closer look at THE HAND, shall we Vault Dwellers?

Synopsis: A gifted cartoonist's life comes apart at the seams when his drawing hand is accidentally severed. Slowly, painfully, he tries to adjust ... but a terrifying evil creeps into his consciousness. And one by one, the people who stand in his way begin to die. Written and directed by Academy Award winner Oliver Stone, this spellbinder showcases a vivid central performance by Michael Caine and wonderfully ghoulish special effects by veteran macabre master Carlo Rambaldi. Stone called for more than 30 different hands to be designed, all used in different – and fantastically horrific ways.

Joe Dante's EXPLORERS Has Finally Arrived on Blu-ray Disc!

 

SHOUT SELECT KNOCKS A TITLE OFF OF MY BUCKET LIST WITH THEIR NEW BLU-RAY RELEASE OF THIS JOE DANTE CLASSIC!

Everyone seems to openly give their love to Joe Dante's GREMLINS, THE HOWLING, PIRANHA, or THE 'BURBS, while his kid-centric sci-fi film EXPLORERS goes largely unmentioned. (And if I'm wrong about that well.... good!) So it brings me great joy in sharing this news Vault Dwellers: As of May 25th, EXPLORERS is available on Blu-ray disc! Initially only available on DVD from Paramount, the movie makes its HD debut with two different cuts (sadly neither is a director's cut), deleted scenes, new making-of featurette, & more! If you're excited as I am to own this Collector's Edition release, then read on!

Synopsis: The visionary dreams of three curious and adventuresome young boys become an exciting reality in Explorers, the action-fantasy from acclaimed director Joe Dante, who combines keen humor, warmth and fantasy with unexpected twists.

In their makeshift laboratory, the boys use an amazing discovery and their ingenuity to build their own spaceship and launch themselves on a fantastic interplanetary journey. A galaxy of adventure for the whole family, EXPLORERS stars a young River Phoenix (STAND BY ME, SNEAKERS) and Ethan Hawke (TRAINING DAY, REALITY BITES).
