Frankenhooker

On October 13, Synapse Films will release director Frank Henenlotter’s Frankenhooker in separate 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions.  


Frankenhooker blends over-the-top horror, dark comedy, and gleefully twisted practical effects into one unforgettable genre mash-up. When grieving medical student Jeffrey Franken (James Lorinz, King of New York) turns to some highly unconventional methods to bring his fiancée Elizabeth (Patty Mullen, Doom Asylum & Penthouse Pet of the Year) back, things quickly spiral into a bizarre and bloody nightmare. Equal parts outrageous, hilarious, and gloriously unhinged, Frankenhooker remains a singular staple of ’90s cult cinema. 

The cast also includes Louise Lasser (Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman), Shirley Stoler (The
Honeymoon Killers
), and John Zacherle (legendary TV horror host Zacherley). A few of the actresses who eventually provide limbs for the new Elizabeth include Lia Chang (Big Trouble in Little China), Charlotte Kemp (Playboy Playmate of the Month, December 1982), Jennifer Delora (Robot Holocaust), and Heather Hunter (AVN Hall of Fame). Co-writer and director Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case, Brain Damage) reimagines the Frankenstein story with his signature blend of twisted horror and dark comedy. 

The 4K Ultra HD edition of Frankenhooker features an all-new 2025 Dolby Vision 4K restoration, created from the archival uncut original 35mm vault materials. The Blu-ray edition marks the film’s return to Blu-ray, presenting the complete 85-minute uncut feature in its acclaimed new 2025 restoration. 

The special features include audio commentary with director Frank Henenlotter and make-up effects designer Gabe Bartalos; A Salad That Was Once Named Elizabeth - Patty Mullen featurette; A Stitch in Time: The Make-Up Effects of Frankenhooker - Gabe Bartalos
featurette; Turning Tricks: Jennifer Delora Remembers Frankenhooker; Jennifer Delora’s Frankenhooker Photo Scrapbook; and the theatrical trailer. 

“If you see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker.” — Actor Bill Murray

"Surf Nazis Must Die"

Troma Entertainment, the longest-running independent movie studio in North America, proudly celebrates the release of Surf Nazis Must Die with a new 4K Ultra HD + Special Edition Blu-ray, packed with bonus materials. For over half a century, Troma has distributed cinematic masterpieces such as The Toxic Avenger, Def By Temptation, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Class of Nuke 'Em High, Cannibal! The Musical and Tromeo and Juliet.   


Surf Nazis Must Die is a dystopian science fiction beach movie that merges How To Stuff A Wild Bikini with A Clockwork Orange. Massive earthquakes have devastated Los Angeles, and anarchy has taken over Southern California. The Surf Nazis, led by Adolf (Barry Brenner, Maniac Cop), have taken control of the coastal turf. They’ve even invented a surfboard with a switchblade knife to dominate the waves. Eleanor "Mama" Washington (Gail Neely, The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear) has been placed into a retirement home for her own safety. When she finds out her son Leroy (Robert Harden, Overkill) is targeted
by the Surf Nazis, Mama heads down to the beach to slap the Reich out of Adolf and his goons.  

Surf Nazis Must Die became a cultural sensation during its theatrical run and airings on USA Network’s Up All Night. The term “Surf Nazis” quickly became part of punk slang. Director Peter George blended the beauty of riding the waves with the ugliness of a lawless world being overrun by fascist gangs. 

The bonus features include the Surf Nazis Must Die theatrical trailer; a Projection Booth Podcast audio interview; Who Controls The Beaches?!?, an interview with director Peter George; the original Blu-ray Intro; the original DVD Intro; scenes from the Tromaville Cafe; Waves Are A War Zone, featuring interviews with Peter George and producer Robert Tinnell; deleted scenes; Independent Artists VS. Corrupt Cartels; the Radiation March; Soul Of Troma; “INNARDS” Music Video; The Toxic Avenger In Ukraine; Troma Sleepover; and Troma Trailers. 

“Surf Nazis Must Die is a brilliantly conceived beach holocaust drama/revenge thriller that you can enjoy with the entire family.”  —Exclusive Magazine

Troy

On August 18, Troy, Wolfgang Petersen’s epic action blockbuster set against the legendary Trojan War, arrives on 4K UHD just in time for the theatrical debut of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

"The Goat"

Featuring Oscar winner Mira Sorvino, John Savage, and TikTok phenomenon Jessica Hosam, who has more than 3 million followers, The Goat arrives on VOD platforms and home entertainment DVD on June 23, 2026, through Cleopatra Entertainment, which has acquired North American rights to the Egyptian, French, and Italian co-produced adventure thriller.

 
Directed by Paris-based Italian filmmaker Ilaria Borelli, the Arabic-language feature follows Hadiya, a 12-year-old girl forced into marriage, who becomes the target of a Western corporation seeking control of the only water source in her village. Determined to save her community, she sets out on a harrowing journey across the desert to find her father, accompanied only by Sparrow, the family goat who keeps her alive through seven brutal days of survival.
 
John Savage plays the CEO of a U.S. multi-national corporation aiming to seize the village’s spring for a luxury bottled water venture, while Mira Sorvino plays the company’s engineer, and Egyptian star Amr Saad portrays Hadiya’s father. The film explores resilience, exploitation, and the fight for autonomy in the face of overwhelming power.
 
The Goat previously launched at the El Gouna Film Festival and went on to screen as the closing film at the Rome Film Festival. The film has also collected multiple honors on the international festival circuit.
 
“With The Goat, I wanted to challenge so-called ‘civilized’ Western societies, and all of us within them, to confront our role in the exploitation of natural resources in more vulnerable regions,” Borelli said in a statement to Variety. “At the same time, the film sheds light on deeply rooted practices that continue to devastate young women and girls, from forced marriage and abduction to sexual violence and life-threatening childbirth conditions.”
 
Borelli studied at NYU and previously directed the comedy Our Italian Husband, starring Pierfrancesco Favino and Brooke Shields, as well as the drama The Girl From the Brothel, about a French woman who risks her life to rescue three young girls from a Cambodian brothel. Her latest feature continues that focus on stories of survival, injustice, and female endurance under extreme conditions.

This limited edition release features a brand new 4K restoration from the original negative, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras.


Officer Frank Murphy (Roy Scheider, Jaws) pilots a helicopter for the Los Angeles Police Department. During a nighttime aerial patrol, Frank and partner Officer Richard Lymangood (Daniel Stern, Home Alone) spy on a woman exercising, leading them to miss a councilwoman being murdered nearby, resulting in their suspension.

As tensions escalate, Frank becomes increasingly suspicious of the technology, culminating in a high-stakes aerial showdown above the City of Angels.

Blue Thunder was directed by John Badham (Saturday Night Fever, WarGames), who staged thrilling helicopter stunts around the skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles without the use of CGI. The film also stars Candy Clark (The Man Who Fell to Earth), Joe Santos (The Rockford Files), and Anthony James (High Plains Drifter).
