Trouble in Mind (1985) Columbia Tri-Star
post #11 of 52
Alan Rudolph's TROUBLE IN MIND is owned by MGM; Columbia only has TV rights to the film through their deal with the former Nelson Entertainment.

Mark, interesting. I thought my old VHS copy was MGM.

Someone corrected me here though and said it was Columbia/Tri-Star, which is how IMDB and Amazon list it.

Thank you

Would Terror in the Aisles (1984) be difficult to release on DVD, because of all the movie clips in the film?

post #26 of 52

I've been on a Deliverance kick since watching Code Red's DVD of Rituals so I'm digging up all my "man-vs.-nature (or hillbilly)-themed movies to watch. "Hunter's Blood", from 1986, was better than I remembered, although it has a bit of a movie-of-the-week feel to it despite a couple of gory tidbits. This had a Concorde logo - I wonder if it's the same as New Concorde - Roger Corman's company. It would make a nice Shout Factory DVD if they've got the rights. Humongous (1981) is another oddity I'd like to see resurrected. My old tape has become unwatchable.

Ask Cliff Mac in the Shout! Factory thread about Hunter's Blood (1986). Has a good cast (Sam Bottoms, Kim Delaney, Clu Gulager, Ken Swofford, Bruce Glover (Diamonds Are Forever), Billy Drago, Charles Cyphers (Halloween), Eugene Robert Glazer (La Femme Nikita) and Billy Bob Thornton).

Out of Order (1984) - a thriller about a group of people who are stuck in a lift over a weekend (the synopsis on the film's IMDb page sounds better than that).

Terror in the Aisles will be included as an extra on Universal's 30th anniversary Blu-ray release of Halloween II (1981). Check the thread about Halloween II and Halloween III: Season of the Witch in the Blu-ray folder about the discussion on Terror in the Aisles.

Has anyone here got Drive-In Massacre (1977) on DVD? It was released by a DVD distributor called Cheezy Flicks Entertainment in 2007. The aspect ratio stated on the title's Amazon.com listing page is 1.33:1. The film's IMDb technical specifications page it says the intended ratio was 1.85:1, but IMDb (like Amazon) does sometimes have incorrect aspect ratio info for some films.
