Scream Factory and Shout Factory have announced numerous upcoming 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases. Amongst them are: Streets of Fire (1984), Critical Condition (1987), and Crazy People (1990). Currently, all releases are scheduled to arrive on the market in March.
Please note that these upcoming releases have not yet been detailed. Exact technical specs and supplemental features to be included on them will be revealed as street dates approach.
Streets of Fire 4K Blu-ray
Amid a brooding rock & roll landscape, the Bombers motorcycle gang, led by the vicious Raven Shaddock (Willem Dafoe, John Wick), kidnap diva Ellen Aim (Diane Lane, Man Of Steel). Her hope for rescue lies with unlikely heroes: soldier of fortune Tom Cody (Michael Paré, Bad Moon) and his sidekick, the two-fisted beer-guzzling McCoy (Amy Madigan, The Dark Half). Joined by Ellen's manager, Billy Fish (Rick Moranis, Ghostbusters), the trio plunges headfirst into a world of rain-splattered streets, hot cars, and deadly assassins.
This cult favorite features a razor-sharp cast and original songs written by Jim Steinman, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty and Ry Cooder and performed by The Blasters and The Fixx. Directed by cult filmmaker Walter Hill (The Warriors, Southern Comfort, 48 Hrs.), Streets of Fire is a rock & roll shotgun blast to the senses.
STREET DATE: MARCH 14.
Crazy People
You don't have to be crazy to work in advertising ... but it helps.
Dudley Moore (Arthur) and Daryl Hannah (Splash) star in Crazy People, a satirical look at the mad men and women in the ad game. When a stressed-out exec (Moore) proposes a "truth in advertising" strategy, his corporate colleagues do what any sane businessmen would do: ship him off to a mental institution! But when his new campaigns capture the public's attention, his bosses turn to him — and his fellow inmates, including a kooky blonde (Hannah) — to take his concepts to the very height of lunacy!
MARCH 21.
The Exorcist III 4K Blu-ray
Experience William Peter Blatty's original vision of his novel Legion with this director's cut of The Exorcist III.
For more than fifteen years, Police Lieutenant Kinderman (George C. Scott) has been haunted by the death of his friend Father Damien Karras. Now, on the 15th anniversary of the exorcism that claimed the priest's life, Kinderman's world is once again shattered when a boy is found decapitated and savagely crucified. It's just the beginning of a nightmare series of bizarre religious murders.
When a psychopath claiming to be the infamous Gemini Killer admits responsibility for all the murders, Kinderman is confronted with a horrifying truth that he cannot begin to explain ... the man does know intimate details that only the true killer could possibly know. There's only one problem ... the Gemini Killer died in the electric chair fifteen years ago!
The Exorcist III is author/filmmaker William Peter Blatty's vision of what followed after The Exorcist. Also included in this set is Legion, a Director's Cut of the film long thought lost.
STREET DATE: MARCH 28.
Critical Condition
The symptoms? Acute tickling of the funny bone and severe belly laughs. The diagnosis? Richard Pryor in Critical Condition!
When a con artist named Kevin (Pryor) is framed for racketeering, he finds himself facing a lifetime in prison. Feigning insanity seems like the easy way to avoid the slammer, and Kevin is brought to Empire State Hospital for evaluation. But things get really nuts when a power outage hits, and the crazy-like-a-fox Kevin impersonates a doctor in order to make his escape. As the night goes on, chaos ensues ... and Kevin finds that he's the only one who can take charge and maintain order.
STREET DATE: MARCH 21.
Razorback
Somewhere in the Australian Outback, there is a creature that can rip a man in half and destroy a house in seconds: Razorback, a giant freak of nature that's nine-hundred pounds of tusk and muscle which terrorizes an isolated community as violent and primitive as itself. This astonishing debut from director Russell Mulcahy (Highlander) is a ferociously entertaining, adrenaline-pumping thriller that was beautifully shot by Academy Award®-winning* director of photography Dean Semler (The Road Warrior) and imbued with stunning special make-up effects by Bob McCarron (The Matrix). Razorback is an Ozploitation classic that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
STREET DATE: MARCH 14.
Dr. Giggles
No need for an appointment. Forget about your co-pay. Healthcare won't save you ... from Dr. Giggles. Larry Drake (Darkman) plays the night-prowling surgical psychopath who wreaks havoc on the residents of a once-peaceful town. From an old haunted house to a midway funhouse, from unwanted house calls to the operating table, the doctor is in ... sane!
STREET DATE: MARCH 21.
Dead Silence
Dare to unlock the deadly curse of Mary Shaw ... From James Wan and Leigh Whannell, the horror masters behind Saw, comes a thriller of relentless terror! Ever since Mary Shaw was hunted down and killed, the small town of Ravens Fair has been haunted by horrific deaths. When a local's wife is brutally murdered, he returns home to unravel the terrifying legend of Mary Shaw and the reason why when you see her, you should never, ever scream.
STREET DATE: MARCH 28.
Sorry, Wrong Number
Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster star in one of the greatest and most engrossing film noir thrillers ever put to celluloid.
Young, rich, bedridden Leona Stevenson (Stanwyck) dials a telephone number one night and overhears two men plotting the murder of an unidentified woman. She becomes frantic. Her terror is intensified by mysterious calls from an old college rival and a friend of her father. With time running out, Leona pieces evidence together that leads her to suspect that it is her husband (Lancaster) who wants her murdered. Sorry, Wrong Number is a classic, extraordinary example of cumulative suspense and sheer terror. Barbara Stanwyck received an Oscar® nomination* for her magnificent performance.
STREET DATE: MARCH 21.
Wanted 4K Blu-ray
Wesley's (James McAvoy) life is over — his pathetic, old one, anyway. Fortunately, it is all because of a girl. Enter sizzling-hot Fox (Angelina Jolie), who crashes into his life and introduces him to the Fraternity, a secret society of assassins, led by the enigmatic Sloan (Morgan Freeman). It seems Wes' long-lost father was killed while working for the Fraternity ... and Wes has been selected to target the rogue member who murdered him. But before he can complete his assignment, Wes must first uncover the dark secrets behind the Fraternity in order to determine his own destiny.
