Bluray Tuesday: Featuring Annihilation, The Road Movie and Zombie 3 & 4

May 29th 2018


The last Bluray Tuesday of May has arrived and it brings us a light week on new releases. Annihilation tops my pickup list this week. I missed it in theaters and I've heard nothing but great things about this film. Best Buy will carry the 4k Ultra HD version of the film. Severin releases limited edition copies of Zombie 3 and Zombie 4 with a cd a new scan and more! I've never seen these but look forward to checking them out. Shocking Dark is also released from Severin and if you buy these three as a bundle at their website, you get exclusive slip covers for a limited time. The Shocking Dark slip is extremely unofficial and may cease to exist as soon as they ship this batch, so they will be super rare. Next up today is Found Footage film The Road Movie and if you missed our review check it out here. Only on the Epic Pictures Group site, and similar to Terrifier is The Lodgers, a supernatural horror, period romance film with a discounted price. Rounding out this week is Bloodsuckers from Outer Space from Vinegar Syndrome and Haunted the complete series from Kino Lorber. Haunted I remember from back in 2002 when it aired after Buffy The Vampire Slayer on UPN. I remember a few episodes but do want to check it out again. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week!
