July 26th 2016
The final Bluray Tuesday of July is here and we end this month with a few interesting titles. First up is my favorite of the week, The Invitation which really surprised me when I first watched a few months ago. It left me thinking after the credits rolled, I highly recommend It. I'm also looking forward to revisiting it on bluray this week and checking out the bonus material. Scream Factory is on a roll and release a few titles this week starting with Hellhole, which I haven't heard of before but looks promising. The Boy Who Cried Werewolf (1973) is also on Bluray for the first time. The bigger releases this week include the first person point on view filmed Hardcore Henry, which made a few audience members throw up and get dizzy from the fast action scenes, but I'm still looking forward to checking out. Rounding out today's releases is sci-fi action thriller Criminal starring Deadpool's Ryan Reynolds, Wonder Woman's Gal Gadot, and Kevin Costner. Also out today are comedy films The Boss and Barbershop 3 if you are looking for some laughs this week. So what will you be buying, renting or just skipping this week? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to check out our Instagram page here. We love the conversation and talking all things horror. Until next week!
