Well, after the past few weeks having a bunch of releases we were bound to hit a slower week and here it is. Of the 9 releases this week, 4 of them are in our Collections category. Two of those collections, 5 Horror Classics and 5 Movie Cult Classics are from Echo Bridge, so if you don’t have any of those 10 movies on another Echo Bridge collection, you can pick them up in these Echo Bridge collections.

For more recent releases, this week also sees the release of this year’s The Lazarus Effect and Hellmouth. There are also a few more recent releases coming out this week, but I’ve already told you about almost half of them so you’ll just need to read the rest of the list now, won’t you?

Pleasant viewing, fiends.
