New to Blu-ray

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.

We have arrived at the final New to Blu for 2015! A little more this week than last week, but overall not a whole not new coming out. Personally, I’m looking forward to picking up Bone Tomahawk. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m pretty confident I’ll like it. Kurt Russell in a violent western? What isn’t there to like?!
