Warner Bros. Home Entertainment released a bare bones edition of Evil Dead Rise in 2023. It still looked great on 4K, but thank you to Arrow for doing a complete special edition. The movie showed that Evil Dead can work...
Saga of the Phoenix came out in December too while I was working on the Shawscope Vol. 4 set. It is more special effects than martial arts but Yuen Biao still gets some kicks in. I didn’t realize it was...
