Scream Factory and Shout Factory have announced their May batch of 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases. They are: The Addams Family 1&2, The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996), Orphan (2009), Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988),
Dracula 2000 (2000), and Gretel & Hansel (2020).
The Island of Dr. Moreau Collector's Edition
Description: On a remote island in the South Pacific, Dr. Moreau uses the key of science to unlock the gates of Hell. Val Kilmer (Heat), David Thewlis (the Harry Potter films), Fairuza Balk (The Craft), and two-time Academy Award®-winner* Marlon Brando star in this fantastic sci-fi thriller based on the best-selling novel by H.G. Wells. Stan Winston's Creature Workshop (Jurassic Park) brought the frighteningly real special effects to life.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Killer Klowns from Outer Space 4K Blu-ray
Description: Finally the truth about clowns is out! Beneath their smirky sinister grins and wildly patterned clothes are clever killers from out of this world. The "juxtaposition of their toy-store arsenal and malevolent intent proves to be a tasty combination" (Los Angeles Times) in this killer entertainment that will leave you fearing these big-top creatures for good.
A spaceship — looking like a circus tent — lands in a field near a small town, signaling the attack of deviant, red-nosed, balloon-twisting psychos from another world who plan to annihilate mankind — by turning people into cotton candy! Luckily, the town's teen citizenry decides to fight back and teach the cosmic bozos a lesson. But these klowns are no klutzes, turning popcorn, peanuts and caramel corn into playful — but deadly — weapons of madcap destruction and mayhem!
Special Features and Technical Specs:
DISC ONE - 4K BLU-RAY
Dracula 2000
Description: The master of modern horror, Wes Craven, presents this thrilling tale of terror featuring Gerard Butler (300), Jonny Lee Miller (Hackers), Justine Waddell (Mansfield Park), Omar Epps (Love & Basketball), Jennifer Esposito (Summer Of Sam), Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Picard), and Christopher Plummer (Knives Out).
When a team of techno-savvy thieves breaks into a high-security vault, they don't discover priceless works of art ... they find a crypt unopened for 100 years! Suddenly, the ancient terror of Dracula (Butler) is unleashed, and his first destination is the city of New Orleans – a place where he feels right at home. Not far behind is a vampire hunter (Miller) determined to save a young woman (Waddell) with whom Dracula shares a dark legacy.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Orphan
Description: From Dark Castle Productions comes the tale of the angelic Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman, The Hunger Games), a sweet, precocious child who is taken in by the loving Kate (Vera Farmiga, The Departed) and John (Peter Sarsgaard, The Batman). We would describe more, but this shocking, moody masterpiece is a dish best watched cold. When its final twist is played, you'll want to watch it again ... with family.
STREET DATE: MAY 14.
Gretel & Hansel 4K Blu-ray
Description: A long time ago in a distant fairy-tale countryside, a young girl leads her little brother into a dark wood in a desperate search for food and work, only to find a nexus of relentless evil.
This terrifying and beautiful work directed by Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat's Daughter, I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House) features stunning cinematography by Galo Olivares (Roma, Alien: Romulus) and chilling performances by Sophia Lillis (It, Asteroid City) and Alice Krige (Star Trek: First Contact, Sleepwalkers). Gretel & Hansel is filled with a discerning mood and deep foreboding – this is not your parents' bedtime story.
STREET DATE: MAY 21.
