This week we explore exciting new releases from Shout! Studios and Kino Lorber Studio Classics. First, we have a pair of 4K UHD Blu-ray debuts from Scream Factory not to be missed. The label continues its output of John Carpenter titles with the James Woods horror neo-western Vampires. The new release comes from a 4K restoration of the Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision with a commentary track, numerous interviews, and more archival material. They have another late-era outing from the filmmaker with the action-horror film Ghosts of Mars starring Natasha Henstridge, Ice Cube, Jason Statham, Pam Grier, and Clea DuVall. The release comes from a 4K restoration of the Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision with a commentary track, an interview about the score, and more archival material.

Staying in the horror space, we have the found footage outing As Above, So Below released with a Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray featuring two brand-new interviews with the director and producer. The label does leave room for some levity as Shout! Studios tackles the Richard Pryor comedy Critical Condition on Blu-Ray.

Kino is continuing a year of amazing 4K UHD releases. Fans of ’90s cinema have a lot to celebrate with the 4K UHD debut of Sneakers with a star-studded cast including Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Kingsley, Mary McDonnell, and Sidney Poitier. The release comes with a 4K scan of the Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision, two commentary tracks, and a documentary. We also have Andy Garcia trying to stay alive in the crime drama Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead alongside Christopher Lloyd, Steve Buscemi, Christopher Walken and more. The release is derived from a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision with two commentary tracks. We have another one from the era with the John Hughes-written comedy Career Opportunities starring Frank Whaley and Jennifer Connelly. The release is presented from a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision with two commentary tracks, interviews, and featurettes.

Keeping things in the comedic realm, the Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase crime comedy Foul Play has been upgraded to 4K UHD Blu-Ray from a 4K scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision. Those who like things a bit more gritty should check out Vice Squad, newly restored by StudioCanal from a 4K scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative in SDR. And you can plan your own John Wayne double feature as Sands Of Iwo Jima and Donovan’s Reef both debut on 4K UHD Blu-Ray from 4K scans of the 35mm Original Camera Negative in Dolby Vision.

We also have an array of ’50s and ’60s titles coming to Blu-Ray including a pair of British satires with I’m All Right Jack and Heaven’s Above!, the naval war picture The Cruel Sea, the disaster epic Crack In The World, two new installments in the Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema series, and many more.
