In addition to the Retro VHS titles, the studio will issue the following double-feature Blu-ray releases: Mo' Money & High School High, Mindwarp & Brainscan, The Trigger Effect & Body Count, and Stepmom & The Deep End of the Ocean.

The Trigger Effect

When nothing works, anything goes.

Academy Award nominee Elisabeth Shue stars with Kyle MacLachlan and Dermont Mulroney in this intensely gripping story of a mysterious power failure that leads to the social breakdown of a major city. All forms of communication are wiped out-no electricity, no cash machines and no telecommunication. Now everything that society has taken for granted no longer works...and ordinary rules no longer apply.

Body Count

It was just a simple art heist, until she came around.

When an art museum heist goes terribly wrong and one of their own ends up dead, professional criminals are forced to head south with the law on their heels every step of the way. As the chase continues, they meet a seductive con artist who wants in on the action. With so much on the line, they must now decide if anyone can really be trusted.

Mindwarp

In the future, life will be a dream. And reality a nightmare.

In a post-holocaust world, one woman (Marta Alicia) relies on computer fantasies to entertain herself, but a glitch sends her to a far-off wasteland to deal with monsters called Crawlers. She is saved by a young rebel (Bruce Campbell), but the pair are later captured and brought underground by the Crawlers. There, an overlord called the Seer (Angus Scrimm) presides over the kingdom and tries to make life miserable for his captives.

Brainscan

An interactive trip to hell.

When a lonely teenager (Edward Furlong) orders the latest interactive video game, the high-tech wizardry penetrates his subconscious, where his darkest impulses lead him through a deadly maze of murder, deception and desire. Pursued by homicide detective (Frank Langella) and prodded by the trickster (T. Ryder Smith), he is torn between the worlds of good and evil, of reality and fantasy and, ultimately, life and death.

Mo' Money

You can never be too rich…or too funny!

Comedian Damon Wayans (TV's In Living Color, The Last Boy Scout) brings his rogue's gallery of outrageous characters to this action-filled comedy about a con artist who tries to go straight, but keeps getting pulled in the wrong direction.

High School High

There's a new teacha' in the hood!

Jon Lovitz and Tia Carrere are dedicated educators facing some dangerously strange minds in this outrageous comedy from the creators of The Naked Gun. With wicked aim, High School High skewers feel-good movies like Dangerous Minds and Stand and Deliver to create a wild new brand of urban comedy that's laced with hilarious gags and slapstick!

Stepmom

Be There For The Joy. Be There For The Tears. Be There For Each Other.

The story of an unlikely friendship that develops between two remarkable women: Jackie (Sarandon), a divorced mother of two, and Isabel (Roberts), the career-minded girlfriend of Jackie's ex-husband Luke (Harris), who continually clash over the well-being of Jackie and Luke's children. But when Jackie and Isabel begin to share maternal duties, they are forced to rise above their mutual hostility for the sake of this family.

The Deep End of the Ocean

The Search For Her Son Was Over. The Search For Her Family Was Just Beginning.

A seemingly joyous return to a high school reunion becomes every woman's worst nightmare when her son suddenly disappears. Michelle Pfeiffer delivers a powerful performance as a wife and mother faced with rebuilding her life and family after they've been shockingly torn apart.
