As this year draws to a close, I’m sorry to report another slow week, folks. While we’ve only got three releases total to speak of this week, the next few months look surprisingly good. January has more than 40 releases dropping throughout the month while February has close to 50.
It’s still too early to be completely sure, but March isn’t looking too shabby either. Keep checking back each week to get the complete rundown.
For anyone who was waiting to pick up the Some Kind of Hate Blu-ray after the DVD came out in November, this is your week.
Bava’s Blood and Black Lace Blu-ray/DVD Combo will be coming to us from Arrow on the 31st (instead of the 29th). There appears to be a discrepancy regarding the Steelbook release of this movie, particularly on Amazon. Originally it was listed to be coming out on the 31st as well but now shows up as unavailable with a release date of December 31st of next year. Other sites are reporting that both releases have been out for months. In any case, some version of the movie should be purchasable somewhere, sometime during this week. In any case I’ve included links to both versions here.
Lastly is Kurt Russell in Bone Tomahawk, which I have heard good things about but have yet to see. I like the idea of western/horror movies so I’ll probably be picking up a copy of this at some point this week.
I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year. May your 2016 be filled with all the dreams 2015 didn’t deliver on. Pleasant viewing, fiends.
