IMDb

Matinee(1993)

dir. Joe Dante

Joe Dante's love letter to William Castle and atomic-age creature features getting a 4K from Shout Factory. S-Tier transfer and the early response is all positive. One of those films that never had a bad word said about it but somehow never got a proper release until now.

The Howling(1981)

6.5/10

dir. Joe Dante

S-Tier

S-Tier Scream Factory Collector's Edition 4K built on StudioCanal's 2021 restoration with Dolby Vision. Rob Bottin's practical werewolf transformation is the reason you own this disc in 4K, and the set has three commentary tracks plus vintage making-ofs across both discs.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch(1990)

6.5/10

dir. Joe Dante

@dawnofthediscs floated a 4K UHD on Instagram in January 2026 with no label confirmation, no street date, and no SKU. Joe Dante then surfaced a 2h 35m assembly cut of the original Gremlins at a closed-group screening on May 1, 2026, with the Gremlins 3 writers in attendance. A reissue of the original paired with a Gremlins 2 4K in a boxset timed to Gremlins 3 (2027) is the most coherent way both archival events fit together. The 2011 Warner Blu-ray is currently the only HD option for Gremlins 2.
