    by Cas Harlow
    Land of Bad Movie Review
    Improbably turning what sounded like a low budget straight-to-video 'lite' version of Bat 21 meets Lone Survivor - replete with a questionable cast - into a minor gem of a military survival thriller, Land of Bad is a genuine surprise winner.

    Game of Thrones' David Benioff and D. B. Weiss reward Netflix's $200 million 2019 exclusivity gamble with a long overdue - and second out of the gate - adaptation of the acclaimed Chinese sci-fi novel... and it's a heady slice of likely divisive hard sci-fi.

    by Mark Costello
    A Blade in the Dark 4K Blu-ray Review
    Lamberto Bava’s too-gory-for-TV riff on all things Argento and De Palma is an average entry into the late Giallo cycle, which earns its keep thanks to some well executed kills. And 88 Films deliver all that blood in a really strong technical 4K package to boot…

And with 88 films releasing the 1979 classic on a brand new 4K UHD, we can decide for ourselves what actually happened and what didn’t…
