We don’t have a lot of releases to speak of this week, fiends. Nine total, and that’s it. The next couple of weeks should prove to be a bit more stocked, however, so keep checking back.
My fellow Nicolas Cage fans should all be pretty amped on this week’s release of Pay The Ghost. Personally, I always look forward to any possibility of witnessing a brilliant new facial expression from Mr. Cage.
In terms of classics, this week provides us with 1964’s The Strangler as well as Troma’s beloved Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.
Lastly, you should be able to find 1999’s Rock N’ Roll Frankenstein on your local shelves this week as well.
As always, pleasant viewing, my friends.
