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.

July keeps pushing out the big releases! This week we’ve got Kong: Skull Island and Free Fire leading the way. The quantity is limited, but the quality is there. While Skull Island and Free Fire are the big names ones, there’s plenty of smaller gems to pick up. The Night of the Sorcerers/The Loreley’s Grasp double feature and Stormy Monday lead that smaller crop. It’s a good time to be a fan of genre cinema!
