Think of any movie and chances are it was released by Eureka Entertainment at one point or another; from Wake in Fright to Mr. Vampire. Based in the UK, the quality and presentation of Eureka’s contribution to physical media are unmatched.
Many are quick to criticise emergency services, especially when it comes to response times, but Larry Cohen’s The Ambulance is always there when you need it. This medical horror classic has just answered the call for a Blu-ray release in the UK from Eureka Entertainment. Eric Roberts stars as the happy-go-lucky Josh Barker, who’s an […]

Imagine if The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes dropped their respective western locations and opted for an island getaway. Well, the result would probably be Po-Chih Leong’s The Island, which is a nightmare excursion for six young students and their teacher to an all but deserted island, and it’s available now on

What did people do before the Internet? Apparently, they drove frivolously during violent thunderstorms, sat around, and tried to impress one another with their views on life. The Old Dark House takes us back to those simpler times, before horror-comedies were in abundance, and it’s available now on 4K Ultra HD from Eureka Entertainment. With

Pat Benatar once declared in teenage angst, despite being 30 at the time, that “Love is a battlefield”. However, if she had waited 12 months before releasing that hit single, she would have been able to see the film, Hong Kong 1941, which would have no doubt provided some perspective. Available now on Blu-ray from

While visiting England, a young doctor, Chiang Ta-Tsung,

When we think of animated features during the 80s and 90s, it’s mostly Disney titles that spring to mind, but former long-time animator for the studio, Don Bluth, became a rival player with his breakout film, The Secret of NIMH – available now on Blu-ray from Eureka Entertainment. Inside a cinderblock she calls home, which

Looney Tunes was my introduction to Edward G. Robinson who Buggs Bunny would regularly impersonate, most famously in the 1946 cartoon short Racketeer Rabbit. Interestingly the first movie I saw Robinson in was Soylent Green, which was sadly his last. Now fans can enjoy the liver-lipped actor at his meanest in the bleak obscure classic

I assumed for years that Tank Girl was a movie about the band, No Doubt, based on the old MGM DVD that I would walk past constantly at a local supermarket. Turns out that’s not Gwen Stefani on the cover, but rather Lori Petty, a girl warrior in a post-apocalyptic Australia where a corporate tyrant
