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.

First week of February is kicking off strong with some quality releases across the board! I highly recommend Hellions from Scream Factory and Highway to Hell from Kino Lorber, both are awesome releases. What I’m really looking forward to is that German release of The Switchblade Sisters. The more Jack Hill on Blu-ray, the better!
