DVD and Blu-ray Releases: February 6, 2018

Welcome back, everyone.  I told you our lists would begin to pick up a bit and here we are.  February is coming in with a bang this year with a pretty decent list this week.  There are a lot of newer titles this week, so let’s get down to business and get a couple of classics out of the way.

Mill Creek is bringing us two titles this week.  The first is a collection called Shadow Stalkers.  The second title is Christopher Lee’s 100 Years of Horror.  You can read about both titles here.

Up next is Inoperable, starring Danielle Harris.  I liked the idea of this movie, but it seemed to last a lot longer than it really did.  I know someone out there will enjoy it though.

A lot of you have probably been frothing at the mouth for the release of Victor Crowley.  You can check out a new trailer for it here.

Zombie fans, there is yet another Day of the Dead movie dropping this week.  It’s called Day of the Dead: Bloodline.  I have yet to see it myself, but I’m sure we can all guess the nature of the movie to some extent.

People who enjoyed the classic Sleepaway Camp might be interested in picking up Family Possessions.  Felissa Rose stars and we swear she’s anatomically correct.

The lovely Bella Thorne is up next in Keep Watching.  We have an exclusive clip you can check out.  Maybe it’s up your alley, maybe not.

There are a bunch of other newer titles to check out as well. Some of them include Welcome to Willits, Living Among Us, Unhinged and House Of Demons.  The rest are listed below.

Whatever your pleasure is this week, pleasant viewing.  We’ll see you again next week.
