‘Ghost Hunters’ Gets Much Needed Blu-ray Upgrade
Image Entertainment is bringing the popular Sci-Fi Channel series ‘Ghost Hunters’ to Blu-ray in early January, according to High Def Digest. Featuring a team of paranormal investigators who travel across America in search of spectral happenings, ‘The Absolute Best of Ghost Hunters’ culls together two previous DVD releases, “The Best of Ghost Hunters Vol. 1” and “The Best of Ghost Hunters Vol. 2” into one high-def package. Image will debut the Blu-ray version on January 6. Tech specs will see 1080 video (1.78:1) and Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo audio. Extras thus far include the bonus featurette “Ghost Hunters Revelations.” Suggested list price for the Blu-ray has been set at $29.99. This should make for a good time considering how HORRIBLE the show looks on TV and DVD.
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
