The Howling 4K Blu-ray
Description: Severely shaken after a near-fatal encounter with a serial killer, TV newscaster Karen White (Dee Wallace, E.T. Tthe Extra-Terrestrial) takes some much-needed time off. Hoping to conquer her inner demons, she heads for "the Colony," a secluded retreat where her new neighbors are just a tad too eager to make her feel at home. Also, there seems to be a bizarre link between her would-be attacker and this supposedly safe haven. And when, after nights of being tormented by savage shrieks and unearthly cries, Karen ventures into the forest to find answers, she makes a terrifying discovery. Now she must fight not only for her life ... but for her very soul!

Summer School
Description: School's out, and Ocean Front High gym teacher Freddy Shoop (Mark Harmon) has big plans: summer in Hawai'i. But the school's vice principal has plans for Freddy too: teaching remedial English. Aloha, paradise hello, Summer School. Director Carl Reiner (The Jerk) delighted fans and critics alike with this warm, perceptive comedy about a laid-back teacher relegated to teaching a class of likeable misfits, including a slasher-flick addict (Dean Cameron), his wacky sidekick (Gary Riley), and a sexy female surfer (Courtney Thorne-Smith). Kirstie Alley is the no-nonsense history professor down the hall who's keeping an eye on all the shenanigans and on the handsome, irresistible Freddy. The road to academic success has never been bumpier, but to earn straight A's in laughter ... take Summer School.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Alligator II: The Mutation
Description: Deep in the sewers beneath the city of Regent Park, a baby alligator feeds on the experimental animals discarded by Future Chemicals Corporation. Nourished by the toxic growth hormones and other mutating chemicals, the gator grows immense in size ... and voracious in appetite. Now, it must kill to survive! It's a classic confrontation between man and beast. This sequel to the classic thriller Alligator stars Joseph Bologna (Transylvania 6-5000), Steve Railsback (Lifeforce), Dee Wallace (The Howling), Richard Lynch (Bad Dreams) and Kane Hodder (Jason X).
STREET DATE: FEBRUARY 22.
Paranoiac
Description: Nothing is quite what it seems in this riveting, complex tale of greed, dementia and deceit from Hammer Films, the experts in terror. Rescued from a suicide attempt by a man claiming to be her long-dead brother, a young heiress (Janette Scott, The Day Of The Triffids) finds a new reason to live. But her relatives have doubts. They think "Tony" (Alexander Davion) is an imposter who's trying to get his hands on the family fortune. Everyone has their own secret reasons to suspect Tony, as well as their own designs on his vast inheritance especially brother Simon (Oliver Reed, The Curse Of The Werewolf), a magnetic but devastatingly cruel wretch who'll stop at nothing to thwart the supposed pretender.
STREET DATE: FEBRUARY 8.
Lipstick
Description: Margaux Hemingway makes her film debut portraying a high-fashion model who is victimized by a brutal assailant and then again by the judicial system that's supposed to protect her. Chris Sarandon plays the music teacher who brutally attacks her and forces her to the point of desperation and revenge.
As Margaux's lawyer, Academy Awardฎ winner* Anne Bancroft gives a brilliant, uncompromising portrayal of a woman who takes on the legal system in an attempt to define the rights of women in this complex and controversial issue. Mariel Hemingway, nominated for a Golden Globe, delivers an "immensely moving, utterly unaffected performance" (The New York Times) and director Lamont Johnson ably brings the film to its shocking and violent conclusion.
STREET DATE: FEBRUARY 15.
Slap Shot
Description: A true champion among sports movies, the hilarious comedy Slap Shot stars the one and only Paul Newman as Reggie Dunlop, the player/coach of the Charlestown Chiefs, a minor league hockey team. Struggling with an abysmal season and a dwindling fanbase, Dunlop switches up his game plan in order to beef up attendance: unleashing new team acquisitions the Hanson Brothers on the competition! The Chiefs' more aggressive and violent style of play reignites the fans and the team's win/loss record, making them championship contenders.
Outrageously funny and highly quotable, Slap Shot takes the trophy as an all-time great in movie mayhem ... on ice! Special Features and Technical Specs:
Slumber Party Massacre
Description: Hannah Gonera (Spell), Alex McGregor (Blood Drive), Frances Sholto-Douglas (The Kissing Booth) and Jane de Wet (Trackers) star in this terrifying thriller that gives new life and death to the classic '80s horror franchise. When a quartet of friends heads from L.A. to an isolated cabin for a getaway, they encounter a few uninvited guests. But someone has an axe and a few other sharp implements to grind, and soon, an evening meant for fun and games descends into a night of chaos and fear. Brace yourself for all-new thrills and drills as the party-goers try to escape the most terrifying Massacre yet!
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Gintama: The Final
Description: The countdown to destruction has begun! All will join to reclaim an Edo in grave peril! The Earth is facing its darkest days, and the members of the Odd Jobs must come together to save it from this otherworldly menace.
Old allies Gintoki, Takasugi, and Katsura strive their hardest for their own ideals, but standing in their way is someone with whom they share a sad history: Utsuro, an alternate personality of their former teacher and mentor Shoyo. Having been spawned by Altana, the energy that fuels all planets, this immortal fiend has regenerated multiple times until finally becoming Utsuro, the ultimate enemy ... And he intends to take down the entire Earth in order to end his own life.
Gintoki and the others set out to fulfill the wishes of their teacher Shoyo and thwart Utsuro's plans. Shinpachi, Kagura, the Shinsengumi, members of the Kabuki District, and even former enemies will join their fight.
As Utsuro's power grows, Takasugi fights for his very life. What does Gintoki, battered and bruised, see at the very end? Will he be able to put an end to all of this?!
