THE GIANT BEHEMOTH Emerges from the Depths of the Warner Archives!

DIRECTOR EUGENE LOURIE'S CLASSIC MONSTER MOVIE ARRIVES ON BLU-RAY IN THIS ALL NEW RESTORATION!

I've always kind of considered THE GIANT BEHEMOTH (aka BEHEMOTH: THE SEA MONSTER) as the unloved younger stepbrother of THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (which was also directed by Lourie). That being said, BEHEMOTH still holds a special place in my heart, as most monster movies do, and I am truly excited to see it newly remastered on Blu-ray disc!

Synopsis: As in his classic THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS, director Eugene Lourie (GORGO) plunges us into a thrilling stomping ground, unleashing another Thunder Lizard to stomp on everything in sight. Alarming levels of radiation have infused the water, plants, and skies, and a radiated Paleosaurus rises from the ocean depths.

In its path: London. In its arsenal: a strength to topple buildings (KING KONG's Willis O'Brien contributes rampaging stop-motion effects), a stride that flattens cars, a flesh-searing radioactive ray and a ticked-off attitude. Left in ruins on land, humankind takes the fight to the beast's undersea realm, where a two-man submarine crew must ensure the torpedo they fire is dead-on. The first chance is all anyone gets with THE GIANT BEHEMOTH.

Kino Cinema Classics Gives JACK THE GIANT KILLER A Much-Needed Upgrade!

NATHAN JURAN'S MONSTER AND SORCERY-FUELED ADVENTURE TALE IS NOW AVAILABLE ON BLU-RAY!

Long before it had the honor of appearing on Rifftrax Live, I had been a long-time fan of JACK THE GIANT KILLER! I first watched this film on TV at a young age and was blown away by the stop-motion effects (this is just BEFORE I discovered the films of Ray Harryhausen) and the number of creatures the film's hero has to face. Needless to say, it became an instant favorite of yours truly! And now it seems that the time is right to revisit this blast from my past now that it has made the leap to Blu-ray!

Synopsis: Forget about beanstalks. This "vivid fairy tale" (LA Herald-Examiner) brilliantly re-imagines the beloved fable as a rugged adventure that delights with "vigorous acting and excellent trick effects" (Halliwell's Film and Video Guide)! Reuniting the director and stars Kerwin Mathews and Torin Thatcher (from THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD), this visual treat is a journey you'll want to take again and again!

Farm boy Jack heroically rescues Princess Elaine from sorcerer Pendragon by slaying his bloodthirsty giant. But when Pendragon uses his evil powers to bewitch and imprison Elaine in his enchanted fortress, Jack must cross the ocean to brave dragons, two headed ogres, and an army of ghouls to save his lady love!
