New to Blu – Week of 11/3/2015

Published

on

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.

A light week of releases, but a good one. I suppose after the masses amount of releases we received in October a week like this was due. I highly, highly recommend Roar which as of right now you can order from Amazon or Best Buy for only $9.99 which is a heck of a deal. This is a truly remarkable film that I cannot recommend enough.
