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 another fun and exciting week of Blu-ray releases! It’s a good one too. Don’t believe me? Keep reading and I’ll show you!

Chris’ 5-Star, Sure to Entertain, Pick of the Week!

Lionheart (MVD Rewind Collection, Region Free)

Jean-Claude Van Damme is the greatest. If you disagree don’t talk to me. In the late 80’s Van Damme’s career starting to take off beginning with Bloodsport in 1988. Over the course of the next decade he churned out some of the greatest action classics of all time but it was Bloodsport that was the starting point for his relationship with writer/director Sheldon Lettich. Lettich wrote the screenplay for Bloodsport and two years later would make his directorial debut with Lionheart, a film Van Damme co-wrote. Lionheart is now available on Blu-ray courtesy of the MVD Rewind Collection and that is great news for everyone!

I Haven’t Seen It Yet, But It Sounds Cool

Abominable (MVD Rewind Collection, Region Free)

For my unseen recommendation this week I decided to stick with the MVD Rewind Collection — a label you all should get very familiar with — and their release of Abominable. Released in 2006, Abominable is a pretty newish film, but I hadn’t even heard of it until this Blu-ray was announced. How I missed this one I don’t know because it looks awesome. It’s a Bigfoot film, but one where Bigfoot hunts humans? I think. I’m not sure yet, but he features performances from Lance Henriksen and Dee Wallace, so I’m in!

And now everything else…
