STOCK YOUR VAULT: NEW BLU-RAYS & 4K DISCS FOR 05/03/2022!

 

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings from the great beyond Vault Dwellers - I sincerely hope you are all doing well! It's been WAY too long since my last post and yours truly is trying to ease back into things after a long hiatus! Just to give you all a quick update: In the past seven months I started a new job (career?), took up residence in a new State, and have been trying to get the apartment in order and find solutions to having a far too large movie collection.

Speaking of collections, it's time to blow the dust off the Stock Your Vault column and tell ya'll what you can add to your Blu-ray shelves! This week's list of new titles is a rather small one that consists mostly of direct-to-Blu-ray schlock, but there are a few gems you may want to pick up.

Universal brings Joe Carnahan's SMOKIN' ACES to 4K UHD, while Shoreline Entertainment delivers films featuring killer bunnies (RABBIT WOMAN), genetically modified scorpions (TAIL STING), angry Japanese spirits (YOKAI), and a FEMALE WEREWOLF! And at the top of the heap is Shout! Factory's bare bones release of DINOSAUR WORLD, which seems like a mashup of THE HUNGER GAMES and JURASSIC PARK/WORLD.

There's not much else to get excited about gang, but if you're curious about what else is arriving on Blu-ray this Tuesday just scroll onward!

DOOM: ANNIHILATION - Coming to DVD & Blu-ray on October 1st from Universal Pictures!

FOURTEEN YEARS AFTER "DOOM" FLOPPED IN THEATERS, UNIVERSAL CREATES A NEW ADAPTION AND SENDS IT STRAIGHT TO HOME VIDEO HELL!

The closest thing we've ever gotten to an actual DOOM movie was John Carpenter's GHOSTS OF MARS. Oof. Think about that for a second - one of Carpenter's weakest filmmaking efforts hit closer to the mark than a big-budget studio film. And while DOOM: ANNIHILATION may be a bit truer to its source material, the fact that Universal is quietly dumping it onto DVD & Blu-ray next Tuesday doesn't bode well for this movie. But hey, you never know Vault Dwellers, this DOOM reboot might be a lot better than any of us are anticipating. Or.... maybe not.

Synopsis: Based on the popular original video game, DOOM: ANNIHILATION is an explosive, terrifying thrill ride. On the darkest moon of Mars, scientists have found an ancient portal which allows teleportation throughout the universe. Considered to be mankind's greatest discovery, it's actually a gateway from hell, unleashing a swarm of demons looking to steal the souls of everyone who gets in their way. It's up to Lieutenant Joan Dark and an elite unit of Marines to destroy an ever-growing horde of bloodsucking and soul-stealing beasts and prevent them from taking over planet earth.

The film is executive produced by Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (BUMBLEBEE) and John Wells (Animal Kingdom) and is produced by Jeffery Beach (JARHEAD 3: THE SIEGE), Phillip Roth (DEATH RACE 4: BEYOND ANARCHY) and Ogden Gavanski (CULT OF CHUCKY).

Disc Specs:
Rated R | Color | 97 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Widescreen (1.78:1)
Audio - English, French, & Spanish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1

Extras:

• None.

Universal's DOOM: ANNIHILATION comes to both DVD & Blu-ray on Tuesday, October 1st and will cost about $15. I personally don't have much faith that this film will be good, let alone as good as the previous 2005 dud. Still hope springs eternal, and if you're gung-ho about adding this title to your collection, then go ahead an order a copy today from AMAZON or BULL MOOSE.
