Upcoming Shout Factory releases

[bruce h]

"I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum." Coming this November from Shout! Factory's awesome Scream Factory imprint, it's John Carpenter's THEY LIVE (1988)! Homeless drifter Rowdy Roddy Piper teams up with construction worker Keith David to fight a race of aliens who have infiltrated society, forcing the human race to do their bidding via subliminal messages that can only be seen by wearing special sunglasses. An excellent sci-fi satire of '80s consumerism with tons of quotable lines and a now-legendary 5 1/2-minute back alley brawl, it's about time this classic gets the treatment it deserves, and Shout is just the company to do it. PURCHASE. OBEY.

I always figured The Criterion Collection would be the ones resurrecting this, but apparently Shout! Factory are releasing Ridley Scott's THE DUELLISTS (1977) on blu! Based on a book by Joseph Conrad, the movie follows two men, Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel, whose lives become permanently intertwined when an unfinished duel leads to obsession over the match. Beautifully filmed, it should be a treat to see this one in hi def.

I saw THE FUNHOUSE late at night on A&E in the early 2000's and there were scenes in it that I had never seen before. One was a longer scene of Richie telling of a childhood fear. There were a few scenes scattered throughout. Overall a very different FUNHOUSE than I was used to

A new entry in their Roger Corman's Cult Classics line, Shout Factory releases Curtis Hanson's SWEET KILL (1973)! Better known as THE AROUSERS, the film stars former '50s heartthrob Tab Hunter as a sexually frustrated gym teacher whose accidental murder of a student provides a startling cure for his impotence. I'm sure you can guess where things go from there... An eerily calm, matter-of-fact portrait of a sick mind highlighted by its stripped-down aesthetic and Hunter's great performance. Director Hanson next wrote and produced the incredible heist outing THE SILENT PARTNER (1978) and eventually cleaned up the Oscars with L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (1997), but I'm pretty sure this is the only movie he ever made with dead teen girls stuffed into a pigeon coop.

Really hate that the current releases of the Corman line are only Shot Select tiles.
