In a world where streaming movies in HD is growing in popularity, it gets harder and harder to justify spending hard earned money on physical media. The fact is though that when done right, nothing makes a movie look or sound better on Blu-ray, so we bring you The Digital Dread Report to help you figure out what's worth buying, and what you're better off streaming.
- Thor: Ragnarok was a hell of a lot of fun, and director Taika Waititi made it both exciting and funny. This disc is a hell of a fun ride, and a must own.
- Scream Factory's Collector's Edition of The Strangers is one we're adding to the collection as it boats a new transfer, and has plenty of new extras that make this release the definitive version of the movie. Great flick.
- The Dark Crystal in 4K is tempting, as it's a movie that we grew up on and loved as kids.
- Arrow's release of Donnie Darko is a good buy if you don't already own the film on BD, or are a super fan.
- For lovers of early retro Horror, the Hammer Collections are a nice grab; and The Orchard End Murder is an interesting oddity that clocks in at only 48-minutes long.
- Everything else, as always, is a crap-shoot.

- With only a few days left before Christmas, it's hard to expect a huge week for Blu-ray releases, but we do get Synapse's restoration of Suspiria which is honestly the best gift that we Horror faithful could hope for. Seriously, this is one to own.
- Dunkirk was a great war flick, but as much as we love all things Christopher Nolan, we're not really sure what mass appeal that he thought a movie about this subject would have. Solid stuff though.
- American Gothic is an 80's throwback that I honestly don't remember, but I know I saw. Probably means that buying it isn't in the cards for me, at least.
- Leatherface was decent enough.
- And Mother! did nothing for me, and I'm not sure why. Great cast, great director and great premise, but I didn't buy into it at all.
