I won’t keep you in the dark much longer: the final Tuesday Round Up of October features one of this year’s surprise horror hits. My face lit up when I saw that Warner Bros. was kind enough to send us a copy of Lights Out, and you can already check out our review here. On […]

While it may not technically be eligible for our “31 Nights of Terror”, one of our entries this week absolutely qualifies as a horror show.

On the Twelfth Day Of Christmas Anchor Bay gives to you: Back in October we began our 31 Nights Of Terror with a review of Anchor Bay’s 35th Anniversary Edition of John Carpenter’s Halloween on Blu-ray.

Anyone who is a fan of horror or science fiction knows who Forry Ackerman was. He gave more to the industry than anyone else.

“Nothing…no one…will ever separate us. We are one.” Four young siblings take this vow shortly after arriving in America from Great Britain, having just experienced their latest tragedy. Unfortunately for them, these words are spoken less than 10 minutes into Marrowbone, so you just know their vow is bound to be severely tested. But while […]

Cinematically speaking, the name Eli Roth has been synonymous with murder and mayhem. The director is best known for his work in the horror genre, bursting on the scene with 2002’s Cabin Fever and upping the ante with Hostel and Hostel: Part II a few years later. So it was a bit surprising to hear […]

“Sounds like you don’t have a lot of faith in faith.” You know how sports teams retire the jerseys of their most beloved, outstanding players so that no one can ever wear their number again? Well, we are well past the point where movies about exorcisms need to be hanging from Hollywood’s rafters. Simply put, […]

“Here’s how it is: the Earth got used up, so we moved out and terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with the new technologies…some not so much. The Central Planets, thems formed the Alliance…waged war to bring everyone under their rule. A few idiots tried to fight it, among them […]

Yo-ho, yo-ho, it’s a pirate’s life for us here at UpcomingDiscs HQ!

“Sometimes…if there’s too many white people, I get nervous.” Some of the very best horror films/psychological thrillers succeed by taking a relatable source of anxiety and cranking it to 11. For example, The Exorcist can be viewed as the worst-case scenario for anyone suffering a crisis of faith, while The Shining taps into the madness […]

“I thought it was dull…unless it was supposed to be a satire.” Television has been trending toward shorter, more self-contained stories. Successful shows like American Horror Story, Fargo, American Crime, and others reboot themselves every year with new characters and storylines in an attempt to offer viewers something fresh each season. The Affair seemed ready-made […]

It’s getting to be that time of year. The color orange and the sheer number of pumpkin spice-flavored offerings are about to officially become overwhelming. That’s right…it’s almost October, which also means the arrival of the spooky season. As always, we’ll have plenty more on that front once October properly kicks off. But in the meantime, this […]

“Everyone is afraid of the dark…and that’s what she feeds on.” Despite rumors to the contrary, I am a full-grown adult. That means I can’t in good conscience admit to being afraid of the dark. The most I’ll concede is a sense of uneasiness if I’m in a dark space because I might bump into […]

“Hello boys…I’m baaaaaack!” You probably know that Independence Day — the spectacular, shameless sci-fi smash that introduced the world to “Will Smith, Global Superstar” — dropped a sequel last month. What you may not know is that the original film has been granted a 20th Anniversary Blu-ray and UHD release. I was 13 when ID4 came out […]

“Roots: The Saga of an American Family literally blazed across this nation’s screens.” In 1977 the entire country became Africans for eight consecutive nights.
