Paramount is set to release the second volume in their 4K UHD 'Paramount Scares' collection line. Like the past set, we're getting four flicks on 4K UHD (three for the very first time) along with some slick swag items and another badass Fangoria mag.
While some out there may lament another "box set" collection of titles, this set offers up a something for horror fans of all types. We get a slasher classic, a road thriller, the vastly better unrated version of a big-budget zombie epic, and the latest chapter in a particularly creepy franchise. All in 4K for the first time.... well three for the first time anyway.
Paramount Scares Vol. 2 - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART II Synopsis
Five years after the massacre at Camp Crystal Lake, the nerve-wracking legend of Jason Voorhees and his diabolical mother lives on. Despite ominous warnings from the locals to stay away from “Camp Blood,” a group of counselors at a nearby summer camp decide to explore the area where seven people were brutally slaughtered. All too soon, they encounter horrors of their own and the killing begins again.
BREAKDOWN Synopsis
Jeff Taylor (Kurt Russell) and his wife Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) are headed toward a new life in California when their car’s engine dies on a remote highway. Amy accepts a ride from a helpful trucker (J.T. Walsh) while Jeff waits with the car. But when Jeff shows up at the agreed rendezvous, he finds his wife isn’t there. The locals aren’t talking; the police aren’t much help. With no one to turn to, Jeff battles his worst fears and begins a desperate, danger-ridden search to find Amy before it’s too late.
WORLD WAR Z (Unrated) Synopsis
In this fast-paced, pulse-pounding action epic, former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is in a race against time to save both his family and the world from a pandemic that is toppling governments and threatening to destroy humanity itself.
ORPHAN: FIRST KILL Synopsis
Esther’s terrifying saga continues in this thrilling prequel to the original and shocking horror hit ORPHAN.
