STOCK YOUR VAULT: New Blu-rays & 4K Discs for 01/30/24!

 

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Hey gang! I'm back with another weekly dose of Blu-ray & 4K releases! But before I get into the good stuff, I just want to announce that Arrow Video's Limited Edition THE CONAN CHRONICLES 2-Film set has been pushed back until February 20th! However, the standalone Limited Edition releases of both CONAN THE BARBARIAN and its sequel (on both 4K & Blu-ray) are available to own right this very minute!

The final week of January 2024 was absolutely loaded with great releases from all of your favorite boutique labels - so if you are trying not to spend money on new discs, I urge you to look away now! Haha!

Severin Films kicks things into high gear with 4K releases of Frank Henenlotter's BAD BIOLOGY, NIGHTMARE,  THE PSYCHIC, and their multi-film DANZA MACABRA: VOLUME 2 boxed set which features CASTLE OF BLOOD, JEKYLL, THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR FACE, and THE DEVIL'S LOVER!

Vinegar Syndrome's 4K UHDs of D.A.R.Y.L., eXistenZ, FATAL GAMES, and THE PROPHECY trilogy are now available, CUTTING CLASS arrives on 4K UHD for the first time thanks to MVD, and Deaf Crocodile's new restoration of the Czech film THE MYSTERIOUS CASTLE IN THE CARPATHIANS has arrived on Blu-ray disc! And, as stated above, Arrow Video's CONAN THE BARBARIAN and CONAN THE DESTROYER are now available as well, in gorgeous limited editions!

Numerous Vinegar Syndrome partner label titles hit the mainstream today as well, including Degausser Video's REDNECK ZOMBIES (one of my all-time favorite shot-on-video gems), Umbrella Entertainment's bonkers Ozploitation classic SONS OF STEEL, AGFA's TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE and THE VIOLENT YEARS, SCRAPBOOK (from Saturn's Core), and many more! I should also mention that Eli Roth's surprisingly fun THANKSGIVING is also out on Blu-ray this week, courtesy of Sony Pictures!

As you can see, there's a lot to love this week, but (seeing as how Arrow fumbled the ball) the coveted title of "Pick of the Week" goes to Kino Lorber Studio Classics' new Special Edition of THE BOOGENS! Lovingly restored in 4K, the film gets two audio commentaries, a featurette with creature creator William Munns, multiple trailers, and reversible cover art (and slipcover)! Not too shabby for what was once a forgotten film!

As always, there are numerous titles I didn't mention, so be sure to scroll down through the list below to take in the pure majesty of this week's slate of new Blu-ray and 4K discs!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings fellow collectors of physical media, and welcome to another catch-up post for our always popular Stock Your Vault column! Last week had a rather eclectic mix of new titles ranging from classic 80s revenge flicks, modern slasher favorites, classic spaghetti westerns, and a slew of indie oddities - there truly is something for everyone!

Kino Lorber Studio Classics released the remainder of the "Man With No Name Trilogy" to 4K with their beautiful releases of A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, while Sony Pictures celebrated the debut of season three of THE BOYS with a Blu-ray set of the previous two seasons!

Universal teamed with Scream Factory to bring HAPPY DEATH DAY and HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U to 4K UHD, and a bunch of Vinegar Syndrome partner labels just released new discs including BURGLAR FROM HELL and LOVE AND SAUCERS! Speaking of Vinegar Syndrome, they killed it last week with their Blu of ALIEN PRIVATE EYE plus their new 4K releases of FLESHEATER and (more importantly), Michael Winner's DEATH WISH 2! Along with a newly restored version of the film in glorious 4K, there's and alternate HD TV version, audio commentary, and a bunch of cast & crew interviews!

Moving on to this week, there's not much out on 4K aside from some genuine cinematic classics (e.g. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA) but there's a good selection of cult titles out on Blu-ray! Synapse Films is the latest company to bring THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE back into print, and Ronin Flix dropped four new titles including CLIFFORD (featuring Charles Grodin and Martin Short), THE HEAVENLY KID, THE KILLER ELITE, and the classic Charles Bronson vehicle, THE MECHANIC!

Paramount gave GREASE 2 a new 40th anniversary steelbook release, the recent Viking epic THE NORTHMAN is now available on all formats, courtesy of Universal, and Kino Lorber Studio Classics wins out this week with their latest FILM NOIR: THE DARK SIDE OF CINEMA boxed set, as well as the Blu-ray debuts of SAVAGE SISTERS, and (most importantly to some) STUNT ROCK! This region free disc features an audio commentary and multiple cast  & crew interviews, plus select songs from the film's rockin' soundtrack (some of which was done by the Sorcery, a band that all you ROCKTOBER BLOOD fans should be familiar with)!

There are plenty of other titles I haven't mentioned, so be sure to scroll down to see all the new stuff that's been released over the past few weeks Vault Dwellers!

BEN COMBES' THROWBACK TO 80'S ACTION CINEMA IS COMING TO BLU-RAY DISC FROM ETR MEDIA!

With the success of several no-budget proof of concept trailers-turned hit indie films like KUNG FURY and TURBO KID, it was no surprise that other indie filmmakers would be inspired to do their own over-the-top takes on 80s action fare as well! Case in point, Ben Combes' 2018 fan favorite: COMMANDO NINJA! Available for free on YouTube for years (so you can try before you buy!), this irreverent love letter to films like KICKBOXER, COMMANDO, RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II, and others arrives on Blu-ray disc for the first time with some really cool bonus features!

Synopsis: 1986: John Hunter is a Vietnam veteran, half commando, half ninja, 100% American. He is forced back into action when his young daughter is kidnapped by a secret ninja organization, led by a Central American dictator who wants to create a new world order through time... Unfortunately for them, she is the only thing he would kill again for. Hunter will have to fight his way through an army of ninjas, vietcongs, punks, dinosaurs, mutants, one of his former commandos and a fully equipped private army. With the help of his old friend Hopkins, Hunter will have to combine the arts of ninjutsu and guerilla warfare to become the ultimate soldier and rescue his daughter.

Note: You can currently order this title directly from Vinegar Syndrome right now during their HALFWAY TO BLACK FRIDAY SALE, which ends on Monday (05/25/2020) at midnight.

DOLLY DEAREST is a film that I have not seen in a very long time. It used to make its rounds on USA Network (along with other classics like SPOOKIES), and up until recently, I wasn't sure if it was ever going to get a legit Blu-ray release. But never say never Vault Dwellers, because Vinegar Syndrome has plucked this post-CHILD'S PLAY killer doll flick from obscurity, given it a 2K restoration, and unleashed it upon the world! Let's take a closer look at this VinSyn disc, shall we gang?

Synopsis: American family Elliot and Marilyn Wade, along with their young children Jessica and Jimmy, have just relocated to Mexico, where Elliot has taken over a doll factory. As they settle into their fresh surroundings, Jessica forms a special bond with her new doll, spending hours with it in her large playhouse. But soon, her mother and older brother sense that something isn't quite right with the sweetly faced toy. It's not long before strange and frightening events start to occur, and members of the household begin turning up dead in a series of apparent 'accidents’.

The sole horror feature directed by veteran exploitation crew-woman and actress, Maria Lease, and produced by Dan Cady (GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE), DOLLY DEAREST, takes a thematic nod from CHILD'S PLAY while upping the weirdness. Starring Denise Crosby (PET SEMATARY), Sam Bottoms (APOCALYPSE NOW), and featuring a memorable supporting performance from Rip Torn (MEN IN BLACK), Vinegar Syndrome brings this early 90s cult favorite to Blu-ray for the very first time!

Disc Specs:
Rated R | Color | 94 minutes | Region Free
Video - 1080p Widescreen (1.85:1)
Audio - English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0

Extras:

• NEW! 2K restoration made from from a 35mm interpositive!

• Dressing the Part - An interview with actor Ed Gale!

If you'd like to add it to your collection, either out of nostalgia or curiosity, order a copy now from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from VINEGAR SYNDROME (especially if you're a fan of slipcovers - VinSyn's are the best!)!

Also out today is Richard Stanley's COLOR OUT OF SPACE starring Nicolas Cage, which is supposedly the start of a new H.P. Lovecraft trilogy!

But my pick of the week has to be Mondo Macabro's all new Region Free Blu-ray of THE BEAST AND THE MAGIC SWORD, which features Paul Naschy in his signature role of Waldemar Daninsky!

(Oddly enough, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is missing...)

Arrow Video dropped three new Special Edition Blu-rays for HELLRAISER, HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II, and IN THE AFTERMATH, Warner Archive Collection brought ACTION JACKSON out of retirement, and Vinegar Syndrome released a Blu-ray/DVD combo of James Hong's 1989 Horror film, THE VINEYARD!

And if you're looking for something more contemporary to watch I recoomend SHAFT and the CHILD'S PLAY redo! But wait - THERE'S MORE!

For those of you who can enjoy Blu-rays from around the world, Arrow UK just released MACABRE VISIONS: THE FILMS OF MARIO BAVA (a 9-movie set!) while Indicator (another UK label) just dropped a TON of new titles (all Region Free!) including: THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD, BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING, THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD, THE LAST MOVIE (1971 - REMASTERED), SINBAD AND THE EYE OF THE TIGER, and TORTURE GARDEN!

Vinegar Syndrome Wants You to Enter THE VINEYARD!

STANDARD EDITION COVER ART

JAMES HONG'S HORROR ODDITY MAKES ITS WAY TO BLU-RAY WITH A NEW 4K RESTORATION AND SPECIAL FEATURES!

James Hong is probably one of the most prolific actors of all time, so imagine my surprise when I discovered that he co-directed THE VINEYARD, which he also wrote and starred in! To be quite honest, I've never seen this film (though at one point I did own it on VHS), but I am damned curious enough to pick up a copy of Vinegar Syndrome's Blu-ray/DVD combo to check it out!

Synopsis: The wines created by Dr. Elson Po have been known for decades as among the finest in the world, but unknown to the public, Po has been using his vintning and chemistry skills as a front for a much more sinister purpose; harvesting fresh blood from his youthful victims to produce an elixir designed to keep him young forever. Unfortunately, his special potion seems to be weakening in its strength and Po finds himself in need of fresh bodies.

Deciding to use his connections to the film industry, he presents himself as a potential film investor and invites a group of attractive young actors and models to his secluded island mansion, with the intent of harvesting their life sustaining properties. When they arrive, Po becomes convinced that statuesque beauty, Jezebel, might be the ideal candidate from which more elixir can be created and sends his henchmen out with the task of violently killing off her friends.

THE LIMITED (TO 2,000) EDITION SLIPCOVER

A wild late 80s horror film starring and co-directed, with William Rice, by character actor James Hong (CHINATOWN, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, THE GOLDEN CHILD), THE VINEYARD mixes just about every popular horror trope around into a non-stop assault on the senses. Featuring everything from zombies, to supernatural mysticism, to slasher touches, along with bouts of martial arts and loads of T&A, all photographed by John Dirlam (GONE IN 60 SECONDS)!
