Just tried to purchase The Brain Eaters and The Lost Continent, and again, after the payment goes through, it suddenly comes back stating "FRAUD". I have never changed any info, so I see no reason for this. Called Shout Factory and they were no help, just told me to order in a different way. Anyone else ever go through this. This never happens on any other site, only Shout Factory.

Calling people fraudsters isn't very nice. I think they should fix their site or at least change it so they use a different word than Fraud.

Call your credit card company or bank. Maybe they put a temporary hold for some reason.

Hoping the 1982 remake of CAT PEOPLE gets an upgrade for its 40th anniversary this year.

Forgive me as I get very confused when it comes to the Dimension catalogue, but given that Cursed (apparently coming in April) was released in early 2005, would that not mean it's part of the Miramax catalogue controlled by Paramount now, rather than the late 2005-onwards portion controlled by Lantern Entertainment? From Wikipedia:

All films through October 1, 2005 are currently owned by Paramount Pictures via Miramax while all films since October 1, 2005 are currently owned by Lantern Entertainment and Lionsgate via Spyglass Media Group.

Could this mean that Paramount are now sub-licencing Dimension/Miramax titles to Shout? Interesting development if so.

So From Dusk til Dawn, The Crow, The Faculty, and Hellraiser CEs inbound? They also have Cronenberg's eXistenZ and other films like Below and Wolf Creek that deserve some releases.

I hope this is the case and SF are releasing Dimension films.

EDIT: also it makes sense why Scream have held off on announcements for so long if they've been sitting on something like Cursed. (I mean I doubt there's a "Crave Cut" on it. Maybe a Rough Cut or something along those lines.)

I hope this is the case and SF are releasing Dimension films.

Road Killers (1994) Christopher Lambert, Craig Sheffer, David Arquette,
Josh Brolin; Mother's Boys (1993), Highlander III: The Sorcerer, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Beowulf (1999), The Crow: Salvation

[AnthonyGG]

Definitely in for Cursed. Saw it only once about 15 years ago but actually thought it was quite a lot of fun, though certainly no Scream.

Hmm, Hellraiser box set on the way?

[sxerunner]

I’ll gladly take a CE of “The Prophecy”.

This also bodes well for the remaining Halloween films for UHD.

[dylrichard02]

A new transfer of several would all be on my wishlist.

The Prophecy 1-3
eXistenZ
The Faculty
Halloween 6, H20

Same. Nastassja deserves better.

[DukeTogo84]

Any chance Scream could get the Rob Zombie Halloween movies, or no since those are post 2005?

[starsteam]

Scream getting Miramax titles would be huge. It looks like Cursed will be a two-disc set too so that's extra exciting.

Considering they were both produced by Dimension, distributed by The Weinstein Company, and released between Oct 2005 and 2015, they very well might. Those are the same criteria as Sin City: A Dame To Kill For which they just released last year.

Man, I hope so and that they include the theatrical cuts. I hate the fact that the Canadian release has them both on one disc. Would love for them to have separate releases.

[KenHurd]

Awesome news! I recently revisited Cursed after not seeing it since its original release, and I enjoyed it quite a bit this time around. I would love to see Wes Craven’s original cut, but I wonder if it even exists anymore.

[MifuneFan]

I don't think we ever got a clear answer on who SF licensed Sin City: A Dame to Kill For from. The back cover didn't really offer up any clues to that. Cursed is definitely licensed from Paramount, but anything beyond Oct 2005 is not held by them, so it would have to be licensed from someone else, Lantern Ent. or Lionsgate apparently.

While I'm not necessarily interested in the RZ ones getting 4K releases, I'd like to see Scream 4 get a 4K. If they do in fact have the ability now, a Scream 2 and Scream 3 4K would be nice too.

[Member-222782]

So should we expect more announcements today or was this a one-off leak?

[starsteam]

I was expecting Scre4m to come from the same source as Sin City 2, but if they had it you'd think SF would have tried to release it in time for the 5th film. Unless they have other plans for it.

It would be funny if SF did a Scream Blu-ray set with unrated cut and tons of extras, considering they haven't gotten any 4K rights from Paramount yet.
