Bluray Tuesday: Featuring Wishmaster Collection, A Monster Calls & Fantastic Beasts

March 28th 2017

Our favorite day of the week returns! There are a lot of releases to close out March. My favorite one this week is definitely from Vesteron Video, The Wishmaster 4 film Collection. I liked the first two films and actually never saw parts 3 and 4. I'm excited to marathon these real soon. J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hits shelves today. From the world of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts is surprisingly really good. A bit slow in some moments but overall a solid film I'd recommend. A sequel is in the works as well. Best Buy will carry steelbook packaging for this film and Target will have an exclusive suitcase packaging. Fantasy/Drama film A Monster Calls is also out today.
 This film has gotten many good reviews. I don't know much about this one but do want to check it out soon. Arrow Video releases two Italian horror films Death Walks on High Heels and Death Walks at Midnight, both for the first time on bluray. Scream Factorybrings us What's The Matter With Helen? a horror musical that seems pretty interesting. Closing out the week is Patriot's Day, Silence, a comedy titled Why Him? starring Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and The Handmaiden. So what will you be buying, renting or skipping this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week!
