Bluray Tuesday: Featuring The Darkness, Night of the Living Deb and The Dead Room

September 06, 2016


The first Bluray Tuesday of September arrives and it's a big day for releases today. Kevin Bacon's horror thriller The Darkness hits shelves today. The Darkness is not the best release this week but be sure to check out our review here before you decide to pick this up. Scream Factory releases The Dead Room and The Ones Below today, both of which I'm looking forward to picking up. Finally released on Bluray and DVD is Night of the Living Deb which I found to be pretty entertaining. I look forward to re watching it sometime in the near future. The biggest main release today is Now You See Me 2. A few retailers are carrying exclusives for this title as well. Target's version will have an alternate cover and bonus disc with even more bonus features. Best Buy's exclusive will come in a collectible steelbook packaging and, to coincide with its release,  the first film is being re-released as a steelbook as well only at Best Buy. Next up is The Iron Giant on Bluray for the first time. Fans of this film can get a limited edition collectible set loaded with bonus items and materials. On the TV front, we get season eleven of Supernatural and season two of The Flash just in time for the new seasons hitting screens in a few weeks. There's a lot to choose from today with a few good picks for everyone. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to check out our Instagram page and Facebook pages. We love the conversations and talking all things horror. Until next week!

But Barry wasn't the only person who was given extraordinary abilities that night. The dark matter also created meta-humans...many of whom have wreaked havoc on the city. With the help of the S.T.A.R Labs team, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon and Dr. Harrison Wells, Barry protects the people of Central City from these powerful new threats as The Flash. Following the defeat of Allen's arch-nemesis Eobard Thawne (aka the Reverse-Flash), Team Flash must quickly turn their attention to the Singularity left swirling high above Central City, consuming everything in its path.
