It’s always a bit interesting to me when original series and films from streaming companies get impressive physical releases, which happened with both Mike Flanagan‘s “The Haunting of Hill House” and, recently, with the follow-up, “The Haunting of Bly Manor.” Not as well received as the first project, “Bly” still has some hardcore fans who might be drawn to this release because of its special features, including commentaries on three episodes, one of them by Flanagan himself. For a physical release that only collectors are going to buy, it’s a little slight, but I always like it when companies give their most loyal viewers something extra.

“The Hills Have Eyes” (Arrow)
Wes Craven made waves after his debut “The Last House on the Left” when he went into the desert and came back with the stunning and terrifying “The Hills Have Eyes.” The story of an average American family who breaks down in the middle of nowhere only to be beset upon by cannibals is a powerful vision of horror that spoke to hundreds of filmmakers who would try to copy its template. A much better film than you even remember, it’s now presented in 4K for the first time with a brand new restoration in one of those lavish Arrow sets that includes an almost overwhelming amount of special features. Pick this up for the most twisted person on your Xmas list.
