November 20th 2018
This weeks ends with Black Friday, which has many cool deals on Bluray's but there are still some cool collection worthy titles released today to potentially add to our growing collections. First up is Scream Factory's releases of Candyman and Urban Legend both with new scans, bonus material and artwork as the most recent editions to their collector's edition lines. Urban Legends Final Cut is also released for the first time on bluray from Scream Factory to go along with the original. I'm looking forward to owning all three of these after the Black Friday madness because I love these films. Next up is a newer release from Artsploitation Films, Luciferina. This title seems really interesting and screened at PUFF 3 just a couple of months ago, so several Overlook creatures got to see it on the big screen then. Rounding out the week is sci-fi action film Kin, comedy box office success Crazy Rich Asians, and well reviewed Blindspotting. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments. Have a great Thanksgiving week!
