Each week here at Bloody Disgusting we like to highlight some of the new Blu-ray releases hitting shelves across the world. Please note that this isn’t every release for the week, just a few of the ones that jumped out at us.

Not a ton of releases this week, but some really good ones. Stateside Scream Factory is releasing a Collector’s Editions of Manhunter and Arrow is releasing their Killer Dames boxset, two releases definitely worth picking up. Best of all might be The ‘Burbs making it’s US Blu-ray debut (although personally I think fans of the film need to get the region B Arrow release). Then across the pond, 88 Films is leading the way with three releases, headlined by Man from Deep River. What a time to be alive!
