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.

After a long hiatus where I was busy doing stuff New to Blu is finally back, baby! And we’re bigger and better than ever…okay, so we’re mostly the same but I may try and incorporate new things here and there to spice things up a bit. The first new thing I’ll be adding is something that I’m currently calling Chris’ 5-Star, Sure to Entertain, Pick of the Week! This will be the title that comes most highly recommended for me each week — basically, this will be a movie you should for sure buy unless you’re a lame coward. Don’t be a lame coward.

The next thing I’ll be introducing is I Haven’t Seen It Yet, But It Sounds Cool! This is a movie I haven’t yet seen but I’m recommending it because it sounds cool, which I guess you could have figured out from the title. After that it’ll just be all the other releases for the week per usual until I think of something else cool, or stupid to add…

Chris’ 5-Star, Sure to Entertain, Pick of the Week!

Caged Fury (Scream Factory, Region A)

Caged Fury has the same title of a film that came out roughly 7 years prior and is of the same genre but the plot it is a bit different. This women in prison take from porn director Bill Milling is basically an update of Jonathan Demme’s stone cold classic Cage Heat. Don’t get me wrong, this Caged Fury is not Cage Heat, but it is late 80’s/early 90’s trashy, sleazy fun that is sure to entertain. And it stars Erik Estrada. This is one of those movies you’d never expect to get released on Blu-ray and yet Scream Factory has come through and surprised us all. Is it good? Well that’s debatable. Is it fun? No doubt!

I Haven’t Seen It Yet, But It Sounds Cool

Violence in a Women’s Prison (Severin Films, Region A)

I decided to keep the women in prison theme and go with Violence in a Women’s Prison AKA Caged Women AKA a bunch of other names. Given that this film comes from director Bruno Mattei and is being released by Severin Films I feel like we can safely assume that it delivers on what the title promises. I’ll be watching this one this week, perhaps in a double feature with Caged Fury, and bring you my thoughts next week. Right now I’m guessing it’ll be awesome.

And now everything else…
