Happy New Year, everybody! Seeing as it’s a new year it’s almost fitting that only two of our releases this week are classics, the first of which being the Blu-ray for 1972’s Seven Blood Stained Orchids. You can also pick up Scream Factory’s Collector’s Edition Blu-ray/DVD release of 1981’s Hell Night.
Probably our biggest title of the week would have to be The Houses October Built 2. This will be dropping on both Blu-ray and DVD, and will most likely be added to my collection.
Fans of foreign films may want to check out Japan’s Miss Zombie, from 2013. You can check out Dread Central’s review here.
Some other more recent titles coming our way this week include No Solicitors, Slumber and Bigfoot Country. Check them out along with the rest of this week’s releases below.
Pleasant viewing. I hope 2018 is good to all of you.
