Scream Factory and Shout Factory have revealed several new 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases that are scheduled to arrive on the market in September. Amongst them are Salvador (1986), Mama (2013), Peking Opera Blues (1986), and Samurai Resurrection (2003).
Salvador 4K Blu-ray
Description: Academy Award-winning writer-director Oliver Stone (JFK, Platoon) delivers an excoriating look at the Salvadoran revolution through the eyes of two Americans: the sometime journalist Richard Boyle (James Woods), a man in love with the country and with the beautiful María (Elpedia Carrillo), and his bewildered pal, Doctor Rock (Jim Belushi), a man along for a ride he has no hope of understanding. Stone's screenplay – co-written with the real-life Boyle – was also nominated for an Academy Award, thanks to its clear-eyed acknowledgement of American complicity in a war against a genuine peasant revolt. Please note that the Blu-ray disc contains only bonus features.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 2.
Mama 4K Blu-ray
Description: Guillermo del Toro, the Academy Award®-winning* director of The Shape Of Water, presents this supernatural thriller that tells the haunting tale of two little girls who disappeared into the woods the day that their parents were killed. When the young sisters are found alive in a decrepit cabin, their uncle (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Game Of Thrones) and his girlfriend Annabel (Oscar® winner** Jessica Chastain, The Eyes Of Tammy Faye) take them in. As they try to introduce the children to a normal life, strange and terrifying events begin to unfold ... and Annabel begins to wonder if the traumatized girls are the only guests they have welcomed into their home.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 30.
Ouija 4K Blu-ray SteelBook
Description: From the producers of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Insidious comes a supernatural thriller in which a group of friends must confront their most terrifying fears when they unwittingly release a dark power from the other side.

Description: VENGEANCE FROM HELL! 37,000 peasants perished in the Shimabara Revolt; among them, the leader of that uprising, Shiro Amakusa. More than a decade later, Amakusa rises from the dead, hell-bent on revenge. Resurrecting a ghastly army of living dead master swordsmen by way of an occult art called Makai Tensho" (demonic transmigration), he sets his sights on overthrowing the Shoganate. Standing in their way is legendary samurai Jubei Yagyu, who will have to fight the reincarnation of his own father before the fierce final confrontation with Shiro Amakusa himself!"
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 9.
Halloween 4K Blu-ray SteelBook
Description: On a black and unholy Halloween night years ago, little Michael Myers brutally slaughtered his sister in cold blood. For the last fifteen years, the people of Haddonfield have rested easily, knowing that Michael was safely locked away in a mental hospital ... until tonight. Michael has escaped and he will soon return to the same quiet neighborhood to relive his grisly murder again. For this is a night of evil. Tonight is Halloween.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 16.
Halloween II 4K Blu-ray SteelBook
Description: Picking up exactly where the first film left off, Halloween II follows the same ill-fated characters as they encounter the knife-wielding maniac they left for dead in the first film. The inhuman Michael Myers is still very much alive and out for more revenge as he stalks the deserted halls of the Haddonfield hospital. As he gets closer to his main target, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) discovers the chilling mystery behind the crazed psychopath's actions. Written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween II is a spine-tingling dark ride into the scariest night of the year.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 16.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Description: Makoto is a typical teenage girl who spends most of her days slacking off with friends. One day while rushing to meet her aunt, she nearly gets hit by a train, but at the last second, finds herself jumping backwards through time to avoid the accident. She immediately makes use of her newfound ability to re-do every minor inconvenience – from poor exam results to awkward confessions of love. However, when faced with the consequences of tampering with time, Makoto must do everything she can to avoid a dire future that can't be reversed.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a beloved early film from Mamoru Hosoda, the Academy Award®-nominated* director behind BELLE, Wolf Children, SUMMER WARS, and more. Hosoda weaves together the timeless, breathtaking visuals for which he is known with a tender-hearted story of a girl navigating first love, time travel, and the perilous choices that come with both.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 9.
My Life as a Zucchini
Description: After the sudden loss of his mother, Zucchini has to move into a foster home. At first he struggles to find his place, but with the help of Raymond, a kind adult, Zucchini soon discovers a deep bond with the other kids. As Zucchini learns to trust and love, he starts to hope for a family of his own.
Nominated* for an Academy Award®, My Life as a Zucchini is the debut feature from director Claude Barras, based on a script from acclaimed writer/director Céline Sciamma (Portrait of a Lady on Fire). Brought to life with vibrant characters and expressive stop-motion animation, this critically acclaimed and uplifting film is a testament to the resilience of the human heart.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 30.
Peking Opera Blues 4K
Description: Brigitte Lin (Police Story), Cherie Chung (Once A Thief), and Sally Yeh (The Killer) light up the screen in this fast-paced and sparkling action-comedy from director Tsui Hark (Once Upon A Time In China, Twin Dragons, Double Team).
In the aftermath of China's first democratic revolution, three high-spirited young women from very different backgrounds cross paths on a quest for liberation. Fate finds the three joining forces to discover their respective warriors within.
Elegantly blending action, comedy, and social satire into a bright and colorful production (much like Peking Opera itself), Peking Opera Blues boasts Hark's energetic filmmaking style at the height of his powers, along with the considerable charms of its three leads, and remains an acclaimed classic of Hong Kong cinema.
