Prepare to be Seduced into Adding the POISON IVY Films to Your Blu-ray Collection!


SCREAM FACTORY BRINGS ALL FOUR UNRATED "POISON IVY" FILMS TOGETHER IN ONE COMPLETE SET! 

I've honestly never seen any of the POISON IVY films, even in my early teenage years when I was watching a healthy amount of softcore flicks on Cinemax that dealt with similar themes. But now I've been reminded of their existence thanks to Scream Factory's latest release, which offers up all four films and features both the R-Rated and Unrated versions of each one! (Except for POISON IVY: THE SECRET SOCIETY which only contains the unrated cut!)

If you're excited to watch Drew Berrymore, Alyssa Milano, and Jamie Pressly using their feminine wiles to manipulate people and destroy families, then this boxed set may be right for you!

Synopses: Tempestuous young Ivy (Drew Barrymore) befriends introverted teen Sylvie (Sara Gilbert) and seduces her way into the lives of Sylvie's wealthy family in POISON IVY. In the piquant follow-up, POISON IVY 2: LILY, a sheltered art student (Alyssa Milano) finds Ivy's diaries and, after reading them, is lured into uninhibited risk-taking to become a wild woman!

Then Ivy's sister (Jaime Pressly) visits the Greer residence in POISON IVY: THE NEW SEDUCTION, and it doesn't take long for her to use her skills of manipulation to throw the household into a slate of panic and deceit. A college freshman (Miriam McDonald) is invited to join an exclusive campus sisterhood, where cold blooded ambition causes the group to seduce, blackmail or do away with anyone that gets in their way in POISON IVY: THE SECRET SOCIETY!

DOUBLE DRAGON is Now Part of the MVD Rewind Collection!


THE INFAMOUS FILM ADAPTATION OF THE BELOVED VIDEO GAME GETS A COLLECTOR'S EDITION BLU-RAY!

DOUBLE DRAGON is definitely on the shortlist of films vying for the title of "worst adaptation of a video game property ever," alongside MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION, STREET FIGHTER: THE MOVIE, and my personal favorite, SUPER MARIO BROS. - THE MOVIE. (I'm proud to say I actually own a Limited Edition Steelbook of that one!) And yet, DOUBLE DRAGON has apparently garnered enough of a cult following to warrant the Collector's Edition Blu-ray that we're looking at today!

Synopsis: EVIL HAS JUST MET ITS MATCH! From producers Don Murphy (the TRANSFORMERS franchise), Jane Hamsher (NATURAL BORN KILLERS), Alan Schechter (SHOWDOWN), writers Michael Davis (SHOOT 'EM UP) and Emmy Award Winner Peter Gould (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad) comes the cult classic movie based on the video game smash!

DOUBLE DRAGON roars to life with amazing special effects, spectacular action sequences, and a knock-about sense of humor. It's the year 2007, and what remains of L.A. is now "New Angeles," a city ravaged by earthquakes, tidal waves and vicious gangs. The evil tycoon Koga Shuko (Robert Patrick - TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY) is obsessed with finding the two halves of a talisman known as the "Double Dragon," which will give him awesome mystical powers.

Two teenage brothers, Jimmy (Mark Dacascos - ONLY THE STRONG, BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF) and Billy Lee (Scott Wolf - Party of Five) find themselves in possession of the amulet's missing half, thrusting them into the adventure of their lives. With the help of Maria (Alyssa Milano - Charmed) and her vigilante group "The Power Corps," Jimmy and Billy must summon all of their courage, resourcefulness and martial-arts skills to stop the villain's malevolent plan. Crackling with the energy and humor of its two heroes, Double Dragon is a high-octane action spectacular. Buckle your seatbelt and enjoy the ride!

Yup, Abobo looks JUST like he does in the classic NES game! #nailedit
