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.

Last week there was a holiday and it completely threw me off course. As a result I never got to doing New to Blu for the finally week of May. Oops. But, we’re back for June and the month is off to a pretty solid start! A Cure for Wellness makes it’s debut on Blu and we’ve got a couple new 4K releases with Dredd and Ex Machina. So the week is pretty mellow, but solid. Ain’t nothing wrong with solid!
