STOCK YOUR VAULT: New Blu-rays & 4K Discs for 09/19/23!

 

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings fellow collectors, and welcome to another edition of our (somewhat weekly) Stock Your Vault column! Last week may have hit your bank accounts hard, and next week most certainly will, but this week is pretty light on new titles so feel free to take a breather!

Scream Factor's lone release was the mostly forgotten LOST SOULS (released theatrically back in 2000), Arrow Video gave RINGU a nice limited edition 4K release (grab it if you want the new artwork, double-sided foldout poster, and collectible booklet that are exclusive to this release!), and for all of you luchador fans, Indicator continues to break into the U.S. market, this time with two (standard edition) Blu-rays of SANTO VS. EVIL BRAIN and SANTO VS. INFERNAL MEN!

Warner Bros. dropped their 50th Anniversary 4K of Friedkin's THE EXORCIST, Universal hit us with a pair of new 4K discs for THE BLACK PHONE and COCAINE BEAR (two of my recent favorites!), and Radiance Films added THE DEAD MOTHER to their slowly-growing catalog! And with so little in the way of competition this week, it was easy to choose Sony Pictures' THE LAST DRAGON as my "pick of the week!" With its new 4K restoration, new Dolby Atmos audio track, steelbook packaging, and new fan commentary, it's definitely a worthy upgrade that fans will definitely want to pick up!


I've pretty much mentioned everything that's out this week, except for a handful of new anime titles, but feel free to scroll a tad bit further to see the entirety of this week's measly lineup! And again, brace yourselves because next week is loaded with lots of great new releases from just about every boutique Blu-ray label out there, with a smattering of slasher films, shot-on-video epics, international cult films, giallos, classic creature features, and more just waiting for you to buy them!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: New DVDs & Blu-rays for 11/26/2019!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Happy early Thanksgiving Vault Dwellers! This is the last week of November 2019, and while it's a little on the light side, there are some absolutely awesome new discs out this week!

The Film Detective & Something Weird Video teamed up to bring EEGAH to Blu-ray (but hurry, because it is limited to 1,500!), Media Blasters reminds us that they are still around with their new Deluxe Edition of THE MACHINE GIRL: JACKED!, and Shout! Factory brings MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: SEASON 12 - THE GAUNTLET to both DVD & Blu-ray (which is bittersweet because NetFlix just canceled the show)!

UK's Indicator label just released a bunch of Region Free titles this week including EXPERIMENT IN TERROR, FIRST MEN IN THE MOON, MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, THE STONE KILLER, and their HAMMER VOL. 4: FACES OF FEAR Limited Edition Collection, which contains THE REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN, TASTE OF FEAR, THE TWO FACES OF DR. JEKYLL, and THE DAMNED.

After a few delays, Darkside Releasing just put out new Blus of PICTURE OF BEAUTY, SHOCK, and VIRGIN CHEERLEADERS IN CHAINS, while Scream Factory gives us a double-dose of 1979 goodness with their brilliant new Blu-rays of John Badham's DRACULA starring Frank Langella, and John Frankenheimer's PROPHECY, which is coming to Blu-ray for the first time ever!

But as great as those Scream Factory discs are, Arrow Video reigns supreme this week with their amazing release of ROBOCOP! Available in both a 2-Disc Limited Edition (with TONS of extras) and collectible Steelbook, this Blu-ray release contains three cuts of the film (director's cut, theatrical, and TV edit), and hours of special features! But hurry because this release is selling super fast and once it's gone, the theatrical version of ROBOCOP will out of print again!

There are still plenty of other new DVDs and Blu-rays out this week (mostly anime and direct-to-DVD titles) - to see them all, just keep on scrolling down!

STOCK YOUR VAULT: New DVDs & Blu-rays for 07/31/2018!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

July 2018 has come to an end Vault Dwellers, and it is leaving with a whimper instead of a bang. Seriously, this week's release slate is absolutely dismal, though there are a few choice titles you may want to pick up.

Warner Archive Collection debuts 1960's VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED to Blu-ray disc, Sony Pictures brings PENDULUM to the HD format, and those wonderful folks from Vinegar Syndrome released a double-dose of titillation with LIQUID ASSETS and SHOWDOWN.

But the biggest treat this weak offers up has to be Scream Factory's long-awaited Blu-ray release of PIRANHA II: THE SPAWNING. Boasting a 2K transfer and new extras, this crazy sequel (that was briefly helmed by James Cameron) finally gets the love it so richly deserves.

There's not much else to highlight this week Vault Dwellers (aside from some more of those Frolic Pictures Double Features) but be sure to scroll down a few inches to see this week's list of new DVDs & Blu-ray discs!
