THE FRIGHTENERS: COLLECTOR'S EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1996): "The Frighteners provides an erratic flick but a generally entertaining one. While it doesn’t compare to Jackson’s better-known efforts, it has more than enough good moments to make it enjoyable." Starring Michael J. Fox, Trini Alvarado. Arrow, $39.95, 10/27/2026.

JAWS THE REVENGE [4K UHD] (1987): "After the miserable Jaws 3, I didn’t think the franchise could sink any lower. I was wrong, as Jaws the Revenge manages to make a bad situation even worse." Starring Lorraine Gary, Michael Caine. Universal, $33.98, 7/23/2024.

EVIL DEAD BURN [4K UHD] (2026): "After the moderate disappointment of Evil Dead Rise, Evil Dead Burn gets the franchise back on track. Creepy and unsettling with just a touch of wicked humor, Burn becomes an effective horror tale." Starring Souheila Yacoub, Tandi Wright. Warner, $27.95, 9/22/2026.

DEATH ON THE NILE [BLU-RAY] (1978): "Thanks to a star-studded cast and a clever story, the 1978 Death on the Nile becomes a more than watchable affair. The movie’s pacing can drag but we still find a largely enjoyable mystery." Starring Peter Ustinov, Bette Davis. Kino Lorber, $19.99, 9/1/2020.

THE DESCENT: PART II [BLU-RAY] (2009): "A tale of terror underground, The Descent: Part II never delivers real thrills. It follows predictable paths and fails to go anywhere especially interesting." Starring Shauna Macdonald, Michael J. Reynolds. Lionsgate, $42.99, 8/11/2026.

RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION [BLU-RAY 3D] (2012): "Five films into the franchise and Resident Evil: Retribution showed a series close to creative bankruptcy. With a muddled plot and a reliance on flashy visuals, there’s no meat here, and even the action scenes feel reheated." Starring Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez. Sony, $14.99, 12/21/2012.
