We have kind of a slow week for you, folks. Aside from 1957’s Daughter of Dr. Jekyll, all seven of our other releases are from the past five years, and I hate to admit this… but I don’t know much about them.
I can say that American Mary is always a fun title to watch. Fans of Katharine Isabelle, take notice. You can grab this on both Blu-ray and DVD.
For more information on some of this week’s other titles, from other Dread Central contributors, check out the following links:
Keep checking back each week, folks. Next week is another smaller list, but they will begin picking up again for the Christmas season. As always, pleasant viewing.
