Published

on

Can you believe it’s been a decade since 10 Cloverfield Lane? And we’re 30 years removed from Escape from L.A. — which was set in the then-near-future world of 2013!

Paramount is celebrating the anniversaries with limited edition Steelbook 4K UHD + Blu-ray + Digital releases of each title on June 2.

10 Cloverfield Lane is presented in 4K with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos sound.

Produced by J.J. Abrams, the 2016 second installment in the Cloverfield franchise marked the directorial debut of Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Badlands).

Special features:

  • Audio Commentary by Director Dan Trachtenberg and Producer J.J. Abrams
  • Cloverfield Too Featurette
  • Bunker Mentality Featurette
  • Duck and Cover Featurette
  • Spin-Off Featurette
  • Kelvin Optical Featurette
  • Fine Tuned Featurette
  • End of Story Featurette

John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and John Gallagher Jr. star in the sci-fi horror thriller, written by Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken (The Killer) and Damien Chazelle (Whiplash).

In 10 Cloverfield Lane, after a catastrophic car crash, a young woman wakes up in a survivalist’s underground bunker. He claims to have saved her from an apocalyptic attack that has left the outside world uninhabitable. His theories are supported by a mysterious stranger who is in the bunker with them, but as his increasingly suspicious actions lead her to question his motives, she’ll have to escape in order to discover the truth.


Escape from L.A. is presented in 4K with Dolby Vision HDR and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio.

John Carpenter returns to direct the 1996 sequel to Escape from New York, with Kurt Russell reprising his iconic role as Snake Plissken.

Unfortunately, no special features are included.

Carpenter, Russell, and producer Debra Hill penned the post-apocalyptic action film. Stacy Keach, Steve Buscemi, Peter Fonda, Georges Corraface, Cliff Robertson, Pam Grier, and Bruce Campbell round out the cast.

In Escape from L.A., after a 9.6 quake levels most of Los Angeles, Snake Plissken is called to wade through the ruins to retrieve a doomsday device. This explosive thriller finds Snake surfing Wilshire Blvd., shooting hoops at the Coliseum, dive bombing the Happy Kingdom theme park, and mixing it up with a wild assortment of friends, fiends, and foes.

‘Hokum’ Heads Home to Digital Tomorrow Ahead of Physical Media Release in August

Hokum Review - Hokum Digital Release Date

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.

Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.

Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.

Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.

Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.

Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.

I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”

What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
