Blu-ray News

The home video release of the new flick from Roger Corman, Sharktopus is right around the corner and we have a new behind-the-scenes clip featuring Corman himself to bait you with! From the Press Release

Having been quite well received at the 2010 Film4 Frightfest in London’s Leicester Square (hell, it won the Audience Favourite Award), Josh Reed’s monster mash Primal will be clawing its way onto DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on February 28th courtesy of Kaleidoscope Entertainment. From the Press Release:

Not a very busy week for horror releases on Blu-ray and DVD.

What more could you want than to see a film about a giant killer pig rampaging on your home theatre setup in glorious 1080p? It just seems so right, doesn't it? On April 26th from Magnolia Home Entertainment, that's exactly what you're going to get! Described as "Jaws with a wild boar" look for Jeong-won Shin's Chawz in stores on that date. Synopsis

Image Entertainment will be dropping The Butcher Brothers' splatterific The Violent Kind onto Blu-ray and DVD on May 10th, and we've got the goods on what to expect! Extras will include deleted scenes, a making-of featurette, and the trailer. Synopsis:

No matter how you slice it, the artwork released here in the States for Hammer's The Resident is pretty bland. So how did they fare across the pond? Not much better. Dig on the UK quad one-sheet below courtesy of Empire Online.

Well it was bound to happen. Now that Lionsgate, Studiocanal and Miramax announced that they have entered into a worldwide home entertainment distribution deal, we're going to seeing a lot of releases we've all been waiting for hitting Blu-ray high definition, including the first three entries of a franchise people are screaming over.

Another long time favorite flick is making the jump to Blu-ray high definition, and here's to hoping that its sequel is included as a bonus feature. Well, not really. Screw that movie.

The wait to get our hands on a Blu-ray of Embodiment of Evil (review here) has been nearly unbearable, and unfortunately it's about to last another couple of weeks longer.
