Sundance Horror Sensation IN FEAR Scares On Blu-ray This March!
January 28th, 2014 by Blu-ray Brian
When you bill something as a Sundance Horror Sensation or one of the best horror movies of the year, people tend to take notice. At least I do! So that’s why when my favorite PR person over at Anchor Bay sent me this email today I know I had to not only get news of this Blu-ray release up on the website as soon as possible, but also that of the film’s domestic trailer and theatrical poster (same as Blu-ray cover art). You see, before In Fear‘s March 11th release on Blu-ray, DVD and VOD, the movie will also get treated to exclusive U.S. theatrical engagements too. Check out the trailer and full press release below. Enjoy! Continue reading ‘Sundance Horror Sensation IN FEAR Scares On Blu-ray This March!’
Well, this is exciting if you’re a Troma fan. I tend to be, but a lot of the time I have to be in the right prepared mindset for a night of Troma goodness. I’ve seen the original Class Of Nuke ‘Em High and rather liked it. I even made a zombie short film in high school that referenced that title called Class Of Zombie High. Oddly, as much as I did enjoy the first one, I never made my way to see the sequel. Well, if I’m to be reviewing this one, I’m gonna have to brush up and finally visit this one. Return To Nuke ‘Em High, Vol. 1 marks the return to the director’s chair for Troma head honcho Lloyd Kaufman. I hope he’s not too rusty and can deliver some of the extra campy, super goofy goodness that rocked the straight-to-video market back in the hayday of Ma and Pa VHS rental stores. The film makes its Blu-ray debut (in a groovy green case and stellar poster art) on March 18. Below, Anchor Bay and Troma deliver you the dirty deets as well as a pre-order link. 
Here we go again. Brandon with the zombies. This one is a comedy actually touting the term “Zom-Com” in its promo materials. Zombies apparently come from the Chupacabra in this tale. Millennium is selling this as a buddy comedy with zombies thrown into the mix. Let’s just hope either the comedy or zombie kills work in this or I could be in for a brutal experience. The cast in the film has a bunch of people whose names don’t strike me as familiar, but I’m very familiar with a lot of the shows and movies they’ve been apart of. So I’m sure it’ll be an “oh yeah, that guy” type experience when we get introduced in this film. Buck Wild comes out on glorious Blu-ray on March 18, so get your pre-order guns ready and pull the trigger. Below the studio provides you with all the pertinent details as well as a plot summary! 
I can’t tell you how excited I am about this early retail announcement that just dropped in my mailbox courtesy of our Magnolia Home Entertainment PR person. Thank you! The reason for my excitement is because of the fact that my girlfriend has been asking to see this one ever since she saw the trailer for it on iTunes last year. For some reason or another we kept putting off watching this film, but that will all be forgotten history come this March as Magnolia has announced a March 4th Blu-ray release date for Last Day on Mars. Check out the full press release below for more information on this release! 
There is a lot of anticipation building for Maleficent, the live-action take on the Sleeping Beauty story, told from the perspective of it’s infamous villain. I have liked what I have seen so far and now there is a new trailer, with a nice addition that seems quite fitting for the vibe of the film. Here’s what Disney had to say: A never-before-heard Lana Del Rey rendition of “Once Upon a Dream” was unveiled as part of a 90-second sneak peek of Disney’s Maleficent during the 56th Annual Grammy Awards® on Sunday, January 26. Maleficent releases in U.S. theaters on May 30, 2014. Continue on to check out this sneak peak learn how to download the song.
Wow! I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally get the official word that Hunger Games: Catching Fire is just around the corner on the Blu-ray format with a release date of March 7th! I can’t even recount all the times I tried to catch this one theatrically after missing the press screening in my area of this feature. Now I can just sit back and relax because the month of March will be here rather soon and I for one can’t wait. These cold temperatures suck! LOL. So without further ado, I’m pleased to share with all our readers here the official press release below of this Blu-ray release courtesy of one of my favorite studios, Lionsgate.

CULVER CITY, CALIF.

Scream Factory doesn’t release a whole lot of modern horror films, they pride themselves on being “Rated R for Retro”. So, when they do pick up and distribute something new, it gets my attention. Last year they released Dead Souls, Cockneys Vs Zombies and the anthology Chilling Visions: 5 Senses Of Fear. Their first new movie for 2014 will be Larry Fessenden’s Beneath. This looks to be a giant fish kills debaucherous teens type movie. While it may sound throwaway to some, I’ve heard a lot of good things about this film from very credible people in the horror field (writers, critics). So, I’ve had this one kind of on the radar. Scream Factory will be giving it its home video debut and supplying it with some extras on March 25th. As always, if you’re interested you can click the Amazon link below and support your fellow Why So Blu writer by pre-ordering. After the jump, Scream Factory provides you with all the specifics and nitty gritty details of their release of Beneath. 
They are calling this one of Bryan Cranston’s most disturbing performances. Hmm. That’s hard to top Mr. White in Breaking Bad, isn’t it? But wait!

Well Sony dropped this press release on us, so I’m here to report it. Cold Comes The Night, starring Alice Eve, Logan Marshall-Green and Bryan Cranston will be available March 4th on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital with Never-Before-Seen Deleted Scenes.

Well, it’s Award season! And it’s also the time when I eat all my words and see films that I said I wanted no part of the year before, mainly because curiosity gets the best of me.

In this heartwarming comedy, underachiever David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn) learns he’s actually an overachiever — he’s fathered 533 children via donations made twenty years earlier!
