New to Blu – 1/3/2017
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.
Welcome to the first week of releases in 2017! It’s a fairly like week to get us started but we do have lots of fun stuff from Kino Lorber with the likes of Stryker, Loophole, Who? and The Internecine Project. Mill Creek is starting 2017 off on the right foot with a release of the original Gone in 60 Seconds. The big one this week though is Blair Witch, a film that has divided many horror fans but our own Mr. Disgusting was quite the fan, placing it high within his top ten!
