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.

Week 2 of May brings us some interesting releases. Deadpool is what everyone will be picking up I’m sure, but the real winner I think this week will be Symptoms from Mondo Macabro. That along with the lineup Kino Lorber has for the week. Solarbabies?! I have no idea what that is, but I’m all in!
