Psycho II on 4K UHD would be a great release; I’d buy it day one.

I guess I love cookie cutter Hollywood action flicks because I remember quite enjoying the insanity I recall watching whilst viewing this movie.

They have their own separate threads, but for the sake of convenience I thought I'd gather them here. Coming in March:

Scream back on track I'd say... 3 titles new to the brand (including 2 Warner Bros titles). Hopefully they can get the uncut version of Razorback, though as those trims may only exist on VHS it's probably unlikely we'll see it.

Holy shit, what a month!
And i'm shocked (and so delighted) that WB aren't releasing Exorcist 3 on 4k themselves (with godawful new artwork lol). I can officially sell the awful slipcover from Scream's last release!

[TheZatch]

In for "Dr. Giggles", "Dead Silence 4K" and "The Exorcist III 4K"!

I just bought the Umbrella release of "Razorback" a year ago and it's a pretty stacked release (including the VHS cut of the film too) so I may pass on Shout's. It's good to see that one finally get a US release though.

Warner no longer have the rights to the third Exorcist.

Wait what? I thought warner had the rights to all the exorcist movies? Well, that's certainly good news then and explains this release.

No, they licensed it from the Morgan Creek library.

[BarnDoor]

Not including a few TV movies, in terms of new-to-Blu fare I don't see too many 80s WB-owned titles left that Scream Factory could release (presuming, as expected, The Hitcher comes from Warner Archive):

The First Deadly Sin
When Time Ran Out
Xtro
Dream Lover (1986)
My Demon Lover

Xtro is surely the most likely of these. When Time Ran Out feels more likely to come from Warner Archive. I'd like to see First Deadly Sin upgraded, one of Frank's most underrated performances I feel.

I'll wait until specs are revealed for Exorcist III to decide if I want to double dip. Only interested if they've found better elements for the DC. May grab Razorback IF it bests the French edition. Got a rad steelbook for that one last year. Was never a fan of Dr. Giggles mainly because of the annoying giggle lol. Don't need Dead Silence in 4K. Decent modern horror flick, though.

[dkelly26666]

Can't even find the regular Shout thread much anymore, but they are also releasing "Critical Condition" (Richard Pryor) and "Crazy People" (Dudley Moore), as well, in March.

[Mindfather]

Anyone got a promo code, this is gonna be damn expensive!

[Donl1282]

Exorcist III day one. Are any of the other March titles worth a blind buy?

[RJ MacReady]

Dammit, Scream is really testing my New Year's resolution of not upgrading any more titles I already have on blu! (At least until I tackle some of my backlog).

If Dead Silence or Exorcist III have Atmos tracks I will really be tempted.

Definitely in for Dr. Giggles and Razorback though, the latter of which I've never seen.

[starsteam]

Now this is a return to form.

In for Razorback and Dr. Giggles.
Never got around to buying Streets of Fire and figured a 4K would be coming eventually.
I never got to watch my studio Blu for Dead Silence but I'll upgrade to a CE.

Unless they find better footage for the director's cut I'll probably pass on Exorcist III.

[Alan T]

Nice slate, in for Exorcist III and Razorback

[LeDroitDeTuer]

Excited for Dr. Giggles, glad I didn't pick up some goofy mediabook version.

I'll upgrade Exorcist III later on, too many UHD upgrades on the docket these days.

[BurningAstronaut]

I hope Dead Silence includes the theatrical version! The unrated version is fine, but I'm not a fan of the CGI tongues.

The specs lists two runtimes (89 min/91 min) so probably both cuts.
