Now, for the first time on Blu-Ray outside of Japan, 88 Films has brought this little-known film to the masses, but does it satiate our Western thirst or leave us still parched?

When we think of legacies in genre work, it is impossible not to think of Shelley Duvall and her contribution as Wendy in Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining,” as well as a larger body of work in and out of genre film. Her final starring role is in Scott Goldberg’s “The Forest Hills,” a psychological thriller/horror film about mental health and werewolves, but will it make us howl for more?

COLLECTOR'S CRYPT - PANDEMONIUM (ARROW BLU-RAY)

Not all innovation succeeds, even after the fact, and while these misses may not work entirely they are always fascinating pieces of art to observe.
