5/5. A stone-cold Carpenter classic adapted from a stone-cold King classic. Incredible music, great cast, excellent cinematography & top-tier practical effects all coupled with some of JC's best music. One of the best 4k transfers I've seen & probably the best Carpenter transfer too. Check it out!

Next up in the Nickxcom theater: Christine (1983, dir John Carpenter, dp Donald M. Morgan). UHD from Sony. Time for a Carpenter classic! Let's fucking do this 🍿🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻 #nowwatching #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

4/5. What a wonderful and unhinged sequel, in all the right ways! @jeffbrown83.bsky.social & @zombimanos.bsky.social were right, this movie absolutely kicked ass! Good cast, GREAT practical effects and gore. Gonna have to make this part of the Halloween lineup πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻

Next up in the Nickxcom horror theater: Night of the Demons 2 (1994, dir Brian Trenchard-Smith, dp David Lewis). Blu-ray from @screamfactory.bsky.social. I love the 1st but somehow never seen this one? I've heard good things so I'm excited! Have any of you seen this one? #horrorsky #physicalmedia

3.5/5. A beach slasher works! Nightmare Beach is a pretty good forgotten slasher with a solid cast, good cinematography & a classic late 80s rock soundtrack. Very good Studio Canal restoration restoration on the Kino disc, but no HDR or DV. You could do worse if you are in the mood for Saxon!

First up today? #nowwatching: Nightmare Beach (1989, dir Umberto Lenzi, dp Antonio Climati). Watching on UHD from @kinolorber.com. Starring the always wonderful John Saxon! An Italian horror movie with John Saxon I haven't seen yet? Let's fix that! πŸ’ͺ🏻🍿 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

New physical media pickups of the day: some classics & some I haven't seen yet! From @indicator.bsky.social, @kinolorber.com, @synapsefilms.bsky.social, @screamfactory.bsky.social, & @davidweiner.bsky.social's In Search of Darkness 90-94! #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Another Bruno Mattei classic. Sure you've seen Predator, but have you seen Predator, Aliens and RoboCop in one wonderful Italian stew? Yeah it's a "rip-off"(who cares lol) but in typically Mattei/Fragasso/Drudi fashion it is TRULY something unique & special. Highly enjoyable! Check it out 🍿

Next up in the Nickxcom theater: Robowar (1989, dir Bruno Mattei, dp Richard Grassetti). On standard Blu-ray with a 4k restoration from @severinfilms.bsky.social. With the passing of Rossella Drudi, I feel compelled to revisit some movies of hers that I own. ❀️ #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

A nice little whodunit with plenty of red herrings and twists and turns. Great music. Less gore and nudity than I expected. A damn fine 4k restoration too 🀌🏻. I truly love that boutique labels put so much time and love into niche movies like this.

Now playing in the Nickxcom Giallo theater: Eyeball (1975, dir Umberto Lenzi, dp Antono Millan). UHD from @88films.bsky.social with a new restoration as part of this BEAUTIFUL web store exclusive set. Seriously check it out, it's a looker! Let's do this πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻🍿🍿🍿 #filmsky #horrorsky #physcialmedia

4/5 for baghead Jason! I always liked the characters & kills in part 2. For the curious, this is a SIGNIFICANTLY better UHD than Part 1. Transfer is fantastic, grain is about perfect, good HDR. I'd absolutely pick up the entire series on 4k at this rate. I assume they're all coming, eventually πŸ« πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Now Watching in the Nickxcom horror theater: Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981, dir Steve Miner, dp Peter Stein). UHD from Paramount. Beautiful art on this slip! This is one of my favorite in the series next to Part 5 & 2009- love bag head Jason. Let's fucking go πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻🍿🍿 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Alright, as promised, here's the big haul! Physical pickups of the day: lots from @shoutstudios.bsky.social, @88films.bsky.social & @severinfilms.bsky.social. UHDs, standard Blu-rays & a nice mix of genres (but mostly horror & a HK3 lol). Alt texts for full list! 🍿 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Gonna be another good day for physical media pickups! For fans of big ole stacks of movies from the boutiques, keep your eyes on this space😈❀️ Also check out this super sick embossed metal "The Monkey" popcorn bucket I got because I couldn't think of anywhere else for it πŸ˜†

Physical media pickups of the day! An absolute banger from @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social that I posted before, a bunch of @severinfilms.bsky.social stuff, some studio stuff too!
