The final Tuesday of January is here, and unfortunately, it's a bit underwhelming on the Blu-ray & DVD front... unless you like in the UK, in which case, two of the coolest releases of the year have arrived.

- The Assassin has been called "magical" and "mesmerising" by critics, and it's one we that definitely want to check out.
- Goosebumps looks like a great "Horror" movie for the kids.
- Jack's Back is a cheesy old movie from 1988 where James Spader has to track down the reincarnation of Jack The Ripper or something. It was a fun flick, in that 80's Thriller sort of way.
- We're also curious to check out In the Hell of Dixie and Survival Knife, but we'll probably rent those.
- And everything else, as always, is a crap shoot.
I want to support the site. When we purchase things via your Horror Blog, how does it benefit?
ReplyDeleteFirst, thank you for your support. It means a lot.
DeleteSecond, whenever you click a link and buy something from Amazon through us, we get a (very) small percentage of the sale, depending on what the items are.
It really is very small, but when enough people do it, it helps.
I feel so regretful that I have missed the Deep Red release. Didn't pay enough attention to it when the pre-order was announced. :( Hopefully, there'll be standard release just like Hellraiser trilogy.
