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.

It’s the final week of July releases and we’re looking at just the US releases this week as I’m still getting back into the flow of returning from vacation. Lots of really good stuff this week but the winner and major highlight, must-get of this week is the Female Prisoner Scorpion complete collection. I am very confident that this is going to be another huge winner from Arrow!
