Bluray Tuesday Featuring: Host, Horror Noire, & La Casa

 February 2nd 2021


 Bluray Tuesday returns once more! First up this week is one of my favorite films of last year, Host. This Shudder exclusive was filmed during the quarantine and it's really well done. I highly recommend it. Next up this week is another Shudder exclusive Horror Noire, a documentary of the history of black horror. Also hitting shelves from Epic Pictures Group is La Casa based on real life events, I'm really looking forward to checking this one out. Rounding out the week is childhood classic Small Soldiers, The Last Blockbuster and drama film Let Him Go. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week
