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.

Pretty great week for Blu-ray releases. John Carpenter’s Christine will now be a lot more readily available in the US, there’s a lot of awesome steelbooks coming out of the UK, I’m particularly fond of that Wolfcop release, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg! What will you pick up this week?
