Skyline (2010) 4K UHD
Tiger Cage Trilogy
Highwaymen (2004)

(Work in progress, more being added)

(also I can't be too sure it's Shout yet, but I think The Nutty Professor will also be released by them. Not sure if it's the '63 film or the remake, but something is coming from someone)

Highwaymen yes finally waiting a long time for this one great movie.

4k of brotherhood of the wolf yes please didn't buy the blu from shout after the reviews here so i wait for the review of this one before i buy it but they can't screw it up twice right.

Not a particularly memorable month, but again, another well-balanced one - 4 new to Blu titles in the US (2 Paramount, 2 WB), a couple of 4K UHD upgrades new to the line (Skyline, The Haunting) and a 4K upgrade of a previous SF title.

I don't think I've ever seen you pan any announcement as long as I've been on these boards

The guy who was decrying the lack of 50's sci-fi should be happy. Personally, I don't need any of these except maybe Skyline. Odd choice for a 4K upgrade, though. May reeks of a "the well is running dry" kind of month.

[Alfredlynch]

Cool that I Married a Monster from Outer Space is coming in that double feature, too bad it was a standalone though.

[RevolverOcelScott]

I'll probably grab the morning after, agree with others that it's a very diverse month, but lackluster.

I hope anyone else in the 'Nothing for me' camp lets us know. The thread really needs that type of contribution.

You must not frequent the Criterion thread often. I’m complaining there monthly.

[MifuneFan]

The Haunting is the first Paramount Presents title to get a 4K release from another label. I could see Shout getting The Golden Child too.

Man what is up with Screams site? Anyone else having problems. Last week I kept getting error 500 screen and now the main scream page load, but doesn't show any titles.

Nuttin’ 4 me.

I wonder if Haunting and Skyline will be CEs or just plain 4K reissues. Can't say I would be interested in rebuying either one of them unless there was something juicy included.

Conquest Of Space / I Married A Monster From Outer Space is the kind of stuff I like seeing released. Feels like it's been awhile since we had a non-site exclusive double feature (besides SPM 4K).

[jshaide]

Sucker for that 50s stuff, so I'll def. end up getting that double bill down the line. So happy it isn't a 30 buck site exclusive.

[MifuneFan]

It's not a particularly strong month for horror (unless there's something else coming that I haven't found), but getting a Sidney Lumet film, two classic 50's Sci-fi films, and a great HK action trilogy is a pretty solid month in my opinion. Skyline is probably the biggest head-scratcher of the bunch, but as someone else said, it was perhaps part of a bundle that SF acquired from Universal

[BarnDoor]

I believe The Naked Jungle is the only remaining 50s Paramount title left for Scream Factory to consider, though I could see that one coming from Kino.

This point has been made in multiple studo threads. Does you pointing it out passive aggressively contribute to the thread at all? And I'm not saying this to be confrontational.

It's a community, some people are gonna love titles, some are going to hate them. But someone saying they are excited or unexcited for a specific title let's you know the types of movies other users like or dislike, which opens up pathways to actual conversation.
