New to Blu-ray

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 huge week of releases, but certainly some good stuff. A couple of action-packed Chuck Norris vehicles from Shout Factory that are definitely worth picking up. My personal pick for this week though is Rage of Honor from Arrow. Great movie, great release.

Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.
