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.

I’m out of town this week so we’re just looking at the US releases and it’s a solid group of releases. Not as much in the way of horror, but some amazing stuff. Mill Creek has a couple of William Caste double features which is very much welcomed, but the winner and the one we’ve all been waiting for is Return of the Living Dead.  Get it. You’ll love it.

US Releases

Outatime: Saving the DeLorean Time Machine (Virgil Films & Entertainment, Region A)

Every “Back to the Future” fan knows the iconic DeLorean Time Machine. But while the film’s legacy has thrived over the years, the car itself wasn’t so fortunate.

Fortunately Bob Gale, Universal Studios, and a team of dedicated fans decided to take action…

A Hong Kong cop named Kit busts a major gangster only to find his cover blown and his main witness gone.

Return of the Living Dead (Scream Factory, Region A)

The gas re-animates a corps of corpses, who arise from their graves with a ravenous hunger for human brains! And luckily for those carnivorous cadavers, there is a group of partying teens nearby, just waiting to be eaten!

Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (Warner Bros, Region A)

Synopsis:
Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

The audience gets an opportunity to vote–via the “Punishment Poll”–for the penalty Sardonicus must pay for his deeds…

13 Ghosts
A family inherits what proves to be a haunted house, but a special pair of goggles allows them to see their ghostly tormentors.

Horror Romance ‘Leviticus’ Heads Home to Digital Next Week

Published

on

Levicitus Digital release

After releasing in theaters last month, NEON announced today that horror romance Leviticus will arrive on digital platforms to rent or own beginning July 28, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on September 8, 2026.

Leviticus marks the feature debut by writer/director Adrian Chiarella.

Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen play star-crossed teenage boys who must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other.

Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak), Jeremy BlewittEwen Leslie (The Nightingale), and Davida McKenzie (Silent Night) round out the cast of horror movie Leviticus.

Leviticus is a strong debut with an incisive voice at the helm,” I wrote in my review out of Sundance. “We care deeply about Naim and Ryan’s survival, making Leviticus a tense, atmospheric, and claustrophobic vision of young love in a hateful world.”

Leviticus is the perfect title for writer-director Adrian Chiarella‘s powerful feature debut,” Meagan’s review explains, “a searing anthem against the corrosive nature of fear and bigotry.”

The physical media release comes packed with exclusive bonus features, the home entertainment release includes a feature commentary with Adrian Chiarella, interviews with Chiarella, Stacy Clausen, and Joe Bird, an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, and the official trailer.

Look for Leviticus on Digital next week, and check out the box art for September’s Blu-ray release this September.
