January 12th 2021
New week and new Blurays are released to add to our growing collections. First up is supernatural thriller Spell. This one is one I've been wanting to see and haven't gotten around to it so a definite pick up for me this week. Kino Lorber is releasing 90's cult film Buried Alive. I watched this one a lot as a kid so I'm excited to own on bluray with a really well done transfer and cool artwork and slipcover. Also hitting shelves this week is Skylines, the third and final film in the Skyline film series. Rounding out the week is Just Before Dawn from Code Red, The Twilight Zone season 2 and Luppin III: The First from Shout Factory. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week!
