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 missed the first week of February releases and was late on this week’s releases due to an unfortunate incident but we are back! A very small week of releases but this small group packs a mighty punch! Suddenly in the Dark from Mondo Macabro and One Million Years B.C. from Kino Lorber are leading the charge here in the US while UK heavy hitters 88 Films and Arrow Video are both offering up two new releases to add to our collections. Get to collection!
