We don’t have a terribly huge list for you this week, folks. With 7 total releases I will keep this short and sweet.
Probably the biggest hitter of the week is this year’s A Cure For Wellness. You can pick this up on both Blu-ray and DVD.
Fans of the Exorcist series will be pleased to find out that Dominion and Exorcist: The Beginning will be hitting local their shelves soon. Not only will they be available as standalone titles, but you can also purchase them as a double feature set.
Last year’s The Axe Murders Of Villsca is heading our way this week as well. You can listen to an interview with director Tony Valenzuela here.
Check back next week when our release list will be pretty hefty to say the least. There will definitely be something for everyone. Until then, pleasant viewing.
