After some really good individual Blu-Ray releases of his four part Toxie epic, Lloyd Kaufman and Troma usher in their classic series on the 4K UHD format. This should serve as no surprise as Lloyd Kaufman and Troma were the first to jump on to the DVD format, and use it as a basis of entering the new generation of movie lovers. This new box set described as “TA on 4K” includes all four “Toxie” adventure movies but on 4K and Blu-Ray, as well as a massive library of special features and vintage extras.

Nightmare Fuel Shorts Block [Brooklyn Horror Film Festival 2023]
This year’s the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival kicks off at the Nitehawk theater, and they premiered one of their trio of short film blocks. “Nightmare Fuel” is one of their absolute best with eight memorable horror entries from all over the world.
Unveiled (2023)
Director Ryan Graff’s horror short is about as microscopic a short you can get at only two minutes in length. That doesn’t lessen the impact it has on the viewer, though. Graff touches down on our core fears of being alone and perhaps noticing something out on the corner of our eye that simply doesn’t belong there.
Dr. Cheon and the Lost Talisman (2023)
A man who has faked being an exorcist for years, swindling people out of money while not actually doing much beyond providing a placebo for their issues finds himself faced with a real possession case and must rise to the occasion or move on from his career.
Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls (2023)
At a large estate, a group of worshippers attend an ominous ceremony led by a cultist who they’ve watched on television for a long time. Honored to be there, most of the members are happy with the roles they are given. Onyx, on the other hand, isn’t so sure, but his role may be much more than the organizers could have ever expected.
Scare Attraction (2019)
It’s not often I see a horror movie with such a paper thin script that it blatantly pads the run time. And even when it pads the run time with filler, it still only amounts to a seventy two minute film. And it’s barely seventy two minutes when you don’t factor in the closing credits, and long opening credits. Filmed on a $150,000 budget, what I imagine happened was director/writer Steven M. Smith wanted to film a movie in the vein of “Saw.” He got a hold of a primo haunted house and decided to build his script around the house. That’s likely why the movie’s entire narrative begins and ends in this haunted house, and nothing ever feels organic.
The Wicker Man (1973) [The Final Cut, 4K Re-Release by Lionsgate]
After a girl goes missing, a police sergeant is sent to an island in Scottland when people do not cooperate in his search and seem more interested in their Pagan rituals than in assisting him in helping a missing child.
