V/H/S Beyond (BLU)

I really dig the V/H/S franchise. Compared to the rest of the V/H/S movies aesthetically, V/H/S Beyond is probably the least VHS quality looking.This is okay because we're trying new things and we're essentially going beyond the VHS and into the High Definition. There is good amount of aliens in this one and zombies and some other weird creatures. We're going out there! That being said, at its core, it's still a V/H/S movie because of its creepy, nerve-racking tone, jump scares and gore. And there's still a decent amount of VHS quality aesthetic just not as much as its predecessors. The V/H/S movies are always good scary fun. Just don't eat while you watch this one. Read more

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Renny Harlin

Nice! The second best shark movie in the history of shark movies gets an Arrow Video 4K release. “Bring me some sushi!" Read more

Hardware (1990)

Richard Stanley

Richard Stanley's "Hardware" marks his debut feature film and is now released in 4K Ultra HD. It is important to note that the collector's edition Blu-ray Disc will be region B, while the 4K disc is region-free. If you appreciate the concept of a murderous robot within the realm of cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic cinema then you're gonna love this. Fun stuff! Cool soundtrack! Lemmy from Motorhead shows up at one point in the movie. This is what you want. This is what you get. Enjoy. Read more

River's Edge (1986) (BLU)

Tim Hunter

This is the second time River's Edge has been released on Blu-ray. What would you do if your friend killed somebody? If you look closely, the dead body blinks a couple times at a certain point in the film. The Blu-Ray helps with noticing that fun detail. Probably my favorite Crispin Glover performance. Once again, not really any special features but just watch it if you haven't already. It's great. Read more

The Substance (2024)

Coralie Fargeat

I'm a big fan of the way this movie looks. It's ideal for me as I love extreme close ups and practical effects. I think it's great when audiences get grossed out at the movies. This work of art is a lot of fun and it's nice to see body horror make up effects in the mainstream as opposed to 110% CGI. Visually, it's fantastic and highly entertaining. Read more

Brutal blasts of Norwegian Death and decrepitude. Probably the purest distillation of true Death Metal I heard last year. The riffs, man... the RIFFS! Read more

Burning in Celestial Poison (LP)

Black Curse

Second full-length of auditory putrescence from these frigid miscreants. Along with Spectral Voice, these dudes are keeping the Colorado Metal scene dirty and dismal. Throw this on, toss your head in the trash, and watch the world fester around you. Read more

Big Shots (LP)

Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf

Absolute classic of Bay Area Hip Hop reissued on apple juice color vinyl! This album also gets bonus points for introducing me to Minnie Riperton back in the day (check it out on "Apple Juice Break"). RIP Charizma, the flows will never die ✌️ Read more

Space Oddities 1976-1985 (LP)

Bernard Fevre

The latest entry in the Space Oddities series focuses on French Disco / Electro / Library composer Bernard Fevre. It hops from the crucial modulations of Black Devil Disco Club, to undulating space epics, to synthed-out dub and beyond. Read more

Shin Joong Hyun

Numero's second compilation of tunes from The Godfather of Korean Rock. Blissfully cinematic and funky, with some truly unique takes on amplified kitsch. Read more

Muuntautuja (LP)

Oranssi Pazuzu

The sound of a sentient, cybernetic haunted house buzzsawing through fever dreams. Like if Carpenter and Howarth dropped their synthscapes into the middle of a lysergic Black Metal k-hole. Read more

Organized Konfusion

Dude... I've been trying to get a vinyl copy of this masterpiece for YEARS. Rejoice in the fact that now you don't have to shell out three figures to nab one! Bow down at the altar of Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po's lyrical and conceptual apex! Read more

Previous Industries

Probably my favorite Hip-Hop album from 2024! Old school, laid back flows and abstract beats from Open Mike Eagle, Video Dave, and STILL RIFT. Read more

Stormfucker (Cassette)

Stormfucker

And finally... some good ol' San Francisco Black Metal. As you'd expect from a cassette-only local underground BM band, it's noisy, it's unrelenting, and it kicks absolute ass. Go see them live! Read more
