STOCK YOUR VAULT: New DVDs & Blu-rays for 11/19/2019!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

November 2019 is just over halfway gone, and it looks like we're sort of getting a breather before the Cyber Monday and Black Friday madness that is in store for us all next week! But as always, there are some must-own titles available this week!

Scorpion Releasing brings the obscure breakdancing comedy THE DELIVERY BOYS to DVD & Blu-ray for the first time ever, Shout! Factory gives ROCK N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL a 40th Anniversary Steelbook release, and Severin Films gives some major love to GWENDOLINE and Penelope Spheeris' THE BOYS NEXT DOOR!

Scream Factory's lone release this week is 1981's THE FAN, an obscure quasi-slasher film with a stellar cast, Arrow Video gives HITCH HIKE TO HELL a great Blu-ray release, and the documentary, MEMORY: THE ORIGINS OF ALIEN arrives on both DVD & Blu-ray disc!

Discotek Media brings the complete MESSAGE FROM SPACE: GALACTIC WARS series to Blu-ray for the first time ever, while Mill Creek Entertainment fires back with ULTRAMAN GEED AND ULTRAMAN ORB, and the entire FARSCAPE series gets a 20th Anniversary Blu-ray release!

But even with all that good stuff, I have to give the win to Synapse Films this week for their all new 4K Ultra HD release of Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA. This release promises the absolute best audio & video presentation of this film you can currently have, a new retrospective featurette, and new reversible cover art!

But wait, there's still more new titles that are out this week! So be sure to scroll down to see full list Vault Dwellers!

IT'S A DAMNED GOOD TIME TO BE A TOKUSATSU FAN! MILL CREEK DEBUTS TWO MORE ULTRAMAN TV SERIES ON BLU-RAY DISC!

Having already released the two shows that started the neverending Ultraman phenomenon (i.e. ULTRA Q and ULTRAMAN), Mill Creek just released two of the newer Ultraman TV series (and feature-length films) onto Blu-ray, namely ULTRAMAN GEED and ULTRAMAN ORB. This is the first time both series have been available (legitimately) in North America, and I'm super excited to check them out! While I am a bit disappointed that Mill Creek didn't do Steelbook releases for GEED and ORB, I'm honestly just happy I can finally add them to my collection! Let's take a closer look at these modern Ultra-shows, shall we Vault Dwellers?!

ULTRAMAN GEED (2017) & ULTRAMAN GEED: CONNECT THE WISHES (2018)

Series Synopsis: This is a story of a hero who inherits the genes of the evil Ultraman Belial. Despite suffering from repeating setbacks and despair of knowing the secret of his birth and cruel fate, Ultraman Geed never loses sight of friendship and strong will to become a true hero. The story unfolds through the spiritual growth of the protagonist who seeks for the meaning of his own life and finds the place where he belongs, through fighting against evil and his own cursed destiny, to become a hero of justice

Movie Synopsis: Gigantic Mechanical Brain Gillvalis and the Galactron Army, intent on wiping out all intelligent lifeforms in the universe, close in on Earth. Riku Asakura heads for Okinawa, where there are said to be clues to the “Red Steel” sought by Gilbaris. There, Riku encounters Ail, who realizes that he is Ultraman and assigns him an important mission. Meanwhile, the Galactron Army begins attacking Okinawa in search of the “Red Steel.” Ultraman Geed, Orb, and Zero rush to Earth, but Geed’s hasty actions in sticking to his mission put the Ultraman team in even more danger in ULTRAMAN GEED: CONNECT THE WISHES!

ULTRAMAN ORB (2016) & ULTRAMAN ORB: LEND ME THE POWER OF BONDS (2017)

Series Synopsis: Naomi has had the same strange dream since she was young: visions of a giant of light battling a giant monster. With her interest sparked by those dreams, she starts the paranormal phenomena tracking website called “SSP” with her friends Jetta and Shin. One day the trio is on the tail of a mysterious animal suspected of causing strange meteorological activity. They encounter the Cyclone Lord Monster, Maga-Basser! Naomi is blasted by vicious winds but rescued by the vagabond, Gai Kuernai. By using his Orb Ring, Gai is able to "Fusion Up" into ULTRAMAN ORB, a warrior of light from a distant galaxy!

Movie Synopsis: A mysterious item is delivered to paranormal investigators SSP. SSP members Naomi, Jetta and Shin determine that it is a transformation device… the X Devizer that housed Ultraman X both during and after his merging with Xio agent Daichi Oozora (Kensuke Takahashi). Gai Kurenai (Hideo Ishiguro), the human form of Ultraman Orb returns from his wanderings to search for X… unaware that this is just the first sign of a new threat to the Earth. The villainous space witch Murnau has allied with Ultraman Orb’s arch enemy Jugglus Juggler to use the Dark Ring she now possesses!
