That New ‘Friday the 13th’ Blu-ray Collection is Now Up for Pre-Order
The first eight Friday the 13th movies on Blu-ray. Just $31.99.
Released in 2013, the Friday the 13th: Complete Collection 12-film Blu-ray set was a pretty big deal at the time, as it included the Blu-ray debuts of several of the films in the original Friday the 13th franchise. Unfortunately, that set has since gone out of print, making it incredibly hard to come by and, worse yet, increasingly expensive.
Even more unfortunate is the fact that several of those films have still to this day never been released on Blu-ray again, either individually or in any other sets.
But that changes early next year, when the Friday the 13th: Ultimate Collection Blu-ray set is released. The set will feature the first eight films in the franchise, collected together on Blu-ray for the first time since the Complete Collection came and went.
It’s also loaded with the special features from previous releases.
The Ultimate Collection can now be pre-ordered through Amazon for a mere $31.99, which is a damn good deal. You can expect to have it on February 13, 2018.
One of contemporary horror’s best werewolf movies is 2017’s Good Manners, and it’s finally set to receive a proper physical media release.
Icarus Films is partnering with OCN Distribution to unleash a new Blu-ray that’s now available to preorder via Vinegar Syndrome. and with a limited edition slipcover.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
Good Manners is the second collaboration between filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, who write and direct. Zama’s Rui Poças‘ cinematography captures this unique werewolf tale described as “Disney meets Jacques Tourneur.”
Our own Trace Thurman wrote in his review, “With Good Manners, Rojas and Dutro have made one of the best werewolf movies ever made. That they are able juggle commentaries on racism and classism while still managing to tell two deeply affecting love stories is remarkable.”

- 12-page booklet with an essay by film critic Nicolas Pedrero-Setzer
