  Arrow Video brings Lee Cronin's EVIL DEAD RISE (2023) to 4K UHD with a ton of extras and razor sharp transfer. I wasn't a fan of this in the theater, but can now appreciate the filmmaking and shocks upon second viewing, and the extras show the love and respect the crew had for the Raimi originals.

  Arrow Video brings the seminal graffiti/hip hop/breakdancing docudrama WILD STYLE (1982) to 4K UHD and Blu-ray in sharp and colorful transfer, the best it's ever looked, with a wealth of interviews and archival footage featuring the real-life artists more or less playing themselves in the film, the players reflecting on their lives before and after the film in interviews spanning decades. A vibrant, upbeat look at a time and place long gone, but artistic movements that have reverberated for generations, and the pioneers who first gave them life by expressing their passions in a landscape crumbling around them. Available as a 4K set with the film and commentaries on Disc 1, a second loaded Blu-ray bonus disc, and a CD of the original soundtrack. The Blu-ray edition is identical, with the main feature disc a standard HD replication of the 4K Disc 1.

  Abel Ferrara's classic 80s vigilante thriller MS. 45 (1981) hit 4K UHD from Arrow Video, looking better than ever, with extras that shed light on the life of its troubled star, Zoe Tamerlis. A gritty, grimy, look at a creep-filled NYC that plays as much like a horror film as a survival drama.

  Arrow Video brings Andrew Davis' 90s action classic UNDER SIEGE (1992) to 4K UHD, featuring Steven Seagal as "just a cook" on a nuclear-laden battleship taken over by baddies, who must put down the spatula and pick up anything that's handy to slice and dice his way to victory at sea. With Erika Eleniak, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, and Bernie Casey. The new transfer is the best the film has ever looked, and fun and insightful extras keep interest afloat until the last anecdote is fired.
