Funny, I don't recall anyone actually clearing up the rights issue regarding WITHOUT WARNING. Plenty of speculation and people guessing, sure, but no confirmation. Thanks Walter for clearing this up (again :)) Either way, the film now has the best chance ever of seeing an official release...

Sure thing. You and I seem to be the only ones interested in this sort of thing here, Richard. Perhaps we're posting in the wrong forums?

I read that interview twice to make sure I was reading it right. Very excxiting developments at Scorpion (and interesting learning about how Walter started the company). Never thought I'd see the day when Scorpion (or Code Red, for that matter) would make the jump. ALLEY CAT (which looks like it...

A little late for that Mark of Cain review - the DVD came out in February. It's one of Scorpion's poorer-looking transfers, with a harsh video-y look. Nevertheless, I have the disc and am happy I do.

Anyone who is on the fence about the film (like myself), having never seen it, and decides to buy a copy thinking it's a slasher film, will be disappointed. Scorpion should have just used the original 'Snapshot" title for the cover artwork. The market for these films is already very small and...

That boat chase was the best part of what I thought was an odd film. It wasn't easy trying to overlook a Brit being passed off as American, the lack of blood or wounds on the three victims at the beginning and an obviously non-L.A. looking location passing for L.A. (since when are directional...

This and THE RETURN is further evidence that Scorpion has indeed licensed the Camelot Entertainment catalog. Ator is among the many cool titles in that library that caught my eye when I first visited their website. I wonder how many of those films Scorpion will actually release. My personal...

The picture quality on HUMONGOUS was so terrible I'm concerned Scorpion might screw up some of my most anticipated upcoming releases like MORTUARY. Nothing zaps the fun out of this faster than crappy PQ.

It looks like Scorpion is branching out into Eurosleaze, which is a good thing. I don't know if I'll buy Ator - it looks like a Beastmaster ripoff - but I'll be curious to know what else they have planned for that new line.

I remember watching Mortuary in a theater so the aspect ratio's gotta be at least 1.85:1. The narrower 1.66 isn't usually chosen by U.S. DP's. I clearly recall the trailer playing on TV (I was about 9 when the film came out) and pestering my dad to take me to see the "monster" movie :D. Of...

I was doing some random digging on imdb and clicked on a company called Camelot Entertainment, who, as I found out, are the rights holders to HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW. I also discovered that they currently own ONE DARK NIGHT, two William Girdler nature-run-amok films GRIZZLY and DAY OF THE ANIMALS...

There'a a trailer for The Hearse on one of the recent Code Red DVDs so it might be safe to assume that they've acquired it. It's a good flick, very creepy at times. I've got a public-domain version which doesn't look too bad but a proper reissue would be great.

The plot to "Survivor" sounds a lot like another film, "Sole Survivor" (1983, released thru Code Red), and the much slicker "Fearless", the 1993 Jeff Bridges film and, of course, most recently, the Final Destination films. Nevertheless I am eagerly anticipating the DVD of the Australian...

I'd say Mortuary has a decent chance of making an appearance through Scorpion since they've already licensed House On Sorority Row, which was produced by the same people. Death Ship was one of those long-shot titles I desperately wanted on DVD but no longer need because of a decent rip I was...

Sorority Row gets 2 discs? I wonder if I should keep the Liberation DVD in anticipation of this version. This one's a personal favorite.

Wasn't Scorpion supposed to release the 1971 crime thriller Puppet On a Chain on DVD? A search on Amazon turns up a Region 2 DVD and an old VHS. I hope it's still on the horizon.

There have been reports that some of these Katarina titles do not have the reversible covers, specifically, Mardi Gras Massacre. Not a dealbreaker for me but they did promise that they would feature them. I'll chalk it up to an isolated incident.

I don't remember much about Dallas, but if you've ever seen Anchor Bay's DVD of Where the Day Takes You (1992) it looks similar to that. I think it may have something to do with the aspect ratio. Where the Day Takes You was probably shot open matte. It looks artificially "stretched" to fit the...

I was disappointed in the picture quality of Where the Boys Are. Some objects have a strange "blocking" effect (I don't know the technical term) and the film has a very "video-y" look, sort of what movies shot on tape look like. ITC produced a lot of TV programming in those days - maybe this...

Richard, the days when the inclusion of widescreen as an extra feature are long over. There's no reason why Dogpund Shuffle shouldn't be in widescreen unless it was made for television.

Picked up an early copy of Point of Terror. I'm doing a lot of blind-buying lately, mostly doing my part to support the small labels so they can continue to give us the cult stuff. I thought the film was some kind of horror flick but it looks to be more of a psychological thriller, or a drama...

Chill out, dude - I meant no disrespect. I'm as much of a film freak as anyone here. I've got hundreds of DVDs of movies of all genres. Some of my favorites from the golden age are Von Ryan's Express, Flight of the Phoenix, The African Queen, you get the picture. I'm also crazy about Z-grade...

I had high hopes for this new label in the beginning when they were releasing long-lost slasher type stuff. Now all they seem to be focusing on are 60's-era Lifetime Channel Sunday Night Movies. Wake me when they get to The Farmer.

All I want Scorpion to be is successful. Nobody said they were "supposed to be horror only". I want these guys to stick around for a long time because nobody else is wiling to release this stuff.They can release exercise videos for all I care but they're going to make more money with horror -...

Sure, some romance flicks can certainly be classified as cult, such as these, because nobody's ever heard of them. All I'm saying is, is there a large enough market for quirky, melodramatic love stories in this economic climate to sustain a fledgling distributor that is generally thought of as...

Judging from the trailers some of these look like movies that would air on the Lifetime network on Sundays, know what I mean? I thought Scorpion was primarily a cult/horror label
