Thinner not being 4K is wild to me. Kino would've upgraded it so fast.

Agreed. I purposely waited on Equalizer 2000 just to see if another exclusive would be added shortly after. I guess waiting paid off so at least I can bundle that with Street Girls. I'll probably wait a few extra days just to see if anymore get announced.

Da-aaamn at those announcements

Might just be an Olive master re-encode. Kino has done lots of those, too.

That's great! More Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris titles. I will go for those 3 and Shout's release of Jennifer 8.

[HuggyBear73]

So no 4Ks in Jan? Good move, SF.

[El Sleezo]

Double Bronson and Funeral Home. Thank you Shout.

Maybe they are saving the 4K announcements for tomorrow night...

Thinner on 4K would have been a no-brainer. Despite it being only okay, it’s a solid adaptation, and the pedigree of King, Rubinstein, and Holland make it worthy.

Maybe we’ll see more Laurel/King stuff like the complete Golden Years and The Night Flier.

I think this might be it honestly. Though I still wonder when'll get the Assault on Precinct 13 4K, the restoration has been finished for a while now.

I'm hoping Second Sight releases it as well. I believe they still have the rights in the UK.

On the evidence of Coma and Jennifer 8, I figured it was a way to more strongly differentiate these new SF releases from the old studio releases, for titles they didn't quite deem worth of the 'Collector's Edition' treatment. But Funeral Home would seem to cast doubt on that theory. I'm guessing we'll still see slipless Scream Factory releases, and there will be no real rhyme or reason to the strategy.

Nice announcements today....though bummed that Thinner isn't a 4k. Hoping they do/have done a new 4k scan of it. Not pre-ordering until they announce those details.... High interest in Funeral Home and Street Girls also.

They might not even have it. Could be Criterion, Arrow, or even Vinegar Syndrome as well. However, I'd put my money that it's either Shout or Arrow.

[tangerinewolf]

I'm thinking A Simple Plan is with Arrow, and I hope they announce it for February.

[ZeroRo]

Was hoping for Sentai or KR……

Surprised there weren't any 4K announcements but Funeral Home is a pretty huge announcement on its own. It's never been available in good quality so this should be quite the upgrade.
