Full Specs & Extras for Scream Factory's THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW Blu-ray!


SCREAM FACTORY'S DELAYED COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF WES CRAVEN'S VOODOO CLASSIC WILL FINALLY BE AVAILABLE ON FEBRUARY 23RD!

Many of us are still reeling over last year's tragic passing of director Wes Craven. He will be sorely missed by his fans and all those who worked alongside him to create his amazing body of work. Rest in peace Wes, and thanks for the scares!

In regards to this Blu-ray disc, it has been delayed by several months because the powers that be at Scream Factory wanted to make their final Wes Craven release PERFECT. The HD transfer of the film was made from an original inter-positive and is guaranteed to be the best presentation of THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW that you will ever see!

Film Synopsis: A Harvard anthropologist (Bill Pullman) is sent to Haiti to retrieve a strange powder that is said to have the power to bring human beings back from the dead. In his quest to find the miracle drug, the cynical scientist enters the rarely seen netherworld of walking zombies, blood rites and ancient curses. Based on the true life experiences of Wade Davis and filmed on location in Haiti, it's a frightening excursion into black magic and the supernatural.

Directed by Craven and executive produced by Rob Cohen (THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS, THE RUNNING MAN), and Keith Barish (THE FUGITIVE, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA), the film stars Bill Pullman (INDEPENDENCE DAY, LAKE PLACID), Cathy Tyson (PRIEST, NEIL JORDAN'S MONA LISA), Zakes Mokae (WATERWORLD, THE ISLAND), and Paul Winfield (STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KAHN, THE TERMINATOR).

Disc Specs:
Color | Rated R | 95 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Widescreen (1.85:1)
Audio -  N/A (Guessing 2.0 Mono and maybe even 5.1 HD-Master Audio tracks)

Extras: 
  • NEW audio commentary with actor Bill Pullman.
  • NEW The Making of The Serpent and the Rainbow featuring new interviews with actor Bill Pullman, author Wade Davis, director of photography John Lindley, and special makeup effects artists Lance Anderson and David Anderson.
  • Theatrical Trailer
  • TV Spot
  • Still Gallery
This highly anticipated Scream Factory title hits retailers on February 2nd, 2016 and boasts new cover artwork by artist Joel Robinson. You can order it right now from AMAZON.COM or order it direct from SHOUTFACTORY.COM and get it TWO WEEKS EARLY with a collectible 18 x 24 poster featuring the new cover art!

A big thanks to Scream Factory for making the extra effort on this disc in order to give us the best possible transfer of this Craven classic!

Full Specs & Extras for Scream Factory's ZOMBIE FIGHT CLUB Blu-ray!


ON FEBRUARY 2ND, SCREAM FACTORY INVITES YOU TO JOIN "ZOMBIE FIGHT CLUB!"

I haven't heard of this Taiwanese zombie flick until now, but it sounds like it could be a good time. Lord knows the genre is pretty worn out at this point, so hopefully this movie will bring something new to the table. Guess we'll find out next month!

Film Synopsis: In a corner of the city, in a building riddled with crime... there is an outbreak of zombies. When one young woman (Jessica C - DOUBLE TROUBLE) witnesses her boyfriend falling victim to the zombie horde, she must team up with a police officer (Andy On - THE VIRAL FACTOR, SPECIAL ID, COLD WAR) in order to stay alive and escape the building.

But the once warm-hearted chemistry teacher, Wu Ming, is now the zombie leader following the chaos, which has transformed him into a cruel, vicious, and formidable opponent.

Ratcheting up the terror, an evil organization has begun pitting humans against zombies in a malicious killing game. The good side of humanity has seemingly all but vanished and a world of uncertainty awaits...

Terence Yin (LARA CROFT, TOMB RAIDER: THE CRADLE OF LIFE, SPECIAL ID), Michael Wong (TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION, FIRESTORM, SEVEN SWORDS), Jack Kao (SHINJUKU INCIDENT, FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE) and recording artist MC HotDog also star in this no-holds-barred, martial-arts-meets-walking-dead masterpiece!

Disc Specs:
Color | Not Rated | 95 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Widescreen (2.35:1)
Audio - N/A (Guessing 5.1 HD Master Audio since this film was released in 2014

Extras:
  • Both Blu-ray and DVD editions boasts English and Mandarin audio tracks, English subtitles and insightful bonus content.
  • Zombie Fight Club stunts.
  • Theatrical Trailer
ZOMBIE FIGHT CLUB will be available wherever discs are sold on February 2, 2016! You can order yourself a copy now from AMAZON.COM or directly from SHOUTFACTORY.COM! Not sure if this is worth adding to your personal collection? Then scope out the trailer below!
