FRIDAY THE 13TH PART II Synopsis

Five years after the massacre at Camp Crystal Lake, the nerve-wracking legend of Jason Voorhees and his diabolical mother lives on. Despite ominous warnings from the locals to stay away from “Camp Blood,” a group of counselors at a nearby summer camp decide to explore the area where seven people were brutally slaughtered. All too soon, they encounter horrors of their own and the killing begins again.



BREAKDOWN Synopsis

Jeff Taylor (Kurt Russell) and his wife Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) are headed toward a new life in California when their car’s engine dies on a remote highway. Amy accepts a ride from a helpful trucker (J.T. Walsh) while Jeff waits with the car. But when Jeff shows up at the agreed rendezvous, he finds his wife isn’t there. The locals aren’t talking; the police aren’t much help. With no one to turn to, Jeff battles his worst fears and begins a desperate, danger-ridden search to find Amy before it’s too late.



WORLD WAR Z Synopsis

In this fast-paced, pulse-pounding action epic, former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is in a race against time to save both his family and the world from a pandemic that is toppling governments and threatening to destroy humanity itself.



ORPHAN: FIRST KILL Synopsis

Esther’s terrifying saga continues in this thrilling prequel to the original and shocking horror hit ORPHAN. After orchestrating a brilliant escape from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Esther travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family. But an unexpected twist arises that pits her against a mother who will protect her family from the murderous “child” at any cost.

Interesting selection.

Interesting selection.

It pisses me off that Breakdown is not getting a release of its own. Furthermore, Shout! Factory has already released World War Z on 4K/UHD.

Maybe we could find it on ebay from someone that doesn't want it? As with the films from the Columbia sets. Although it's doubtful.

Friday The 13th Part 2 and an issue of Fangoria? Sold!

 

[BRAD1963]

Wow. Paramount really does not want to make it easy for people to own Breakdown. Honestly, why didn't they just release Friday the 13th Part II and Breakdown separately? World War Z already available via Shout, Orphan:First Kill, who cares? Paramount seems very desperate to get another set on the shelf and make this an annual tradition, but they obviously lack the titles to make it interesting.

I assume that Friday and Breakdown are in there to drive the sales on a $70 item. Why sell those two for $25-ish bucks each when you can sell the set for an extra $20?

Lose all the "box o' junk" things like pins and patches and magazines and they could probably drop the whole box set price by $20.

Eventually they will be stand alone releases. But I think they need to re-think that marketing ploy, let consumers have a choice now.

No Mystery Title?!

 

[Alan Tully]

It’s interesting that a lot of 4K titles are coming from the boutique labels. I didn’t expect that. I suppose a 4K of a title that’s been released on standard Blu-ray for a few years will sell well, I hope so (see The Wolfman on the Shout Factory thread).
