The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
One of the funniest stories my friend Scott Mendelson and I have is when we snuck into a test screening of James Wan’s Dead Silence back in (I’m guessing) 2006. For those curious, the “Alternate Opening” and “Alternate Ending” on the bonus features were in the version we saw and the title was simply Silence. […]
On March 14, 2023, Scream Factory™ presents Dead Silence (Collector’s Edition), a 2-disc set featuring the terrifying film starring Rwan Kwanten, Amber Valletta, Donnie Wahlberg and Bob Gunton, on 4K UHD™ + Blu-ray™. Special features include new 4K masters, and brand new interviews with director James Wan, writer Leigh Whannell, and ventriloquist dummy creator Tim Selberg. […]
I’ll spare you the “What a crazy year this was!” jargon as you already know. You lived through it, too. Like every cinephile, I sure do miss going to theaters and oddly not having that option made me feel like I saw a lot less “important stuff” or “contenders” this year. Yet, at the same […]
I’ve been a fan of Leigh Whannell (And James Wan) since the the original Saw put them on the map. Long have I admired how those can make five dollars look like 80 million dollars on the screen. The two, in both their respective directing careers have showcase such smaller film that have larger impacts […]
THE INVISIBLE MAN, an intense, modern-day psychological thriller, becomes available to own for the first time on Digital May 12, 2020 and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray™ and DVD on May 26, 2020 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. From iconic producer Jason Blum (Halloween, Split, Get Out, Us) and director Leigh Whannell (Saw, Insidious, Upgrade), this psychological […]
I’ve assembled my list of Most Anticipated Films for 2020. It’s always fun to take a look at what’s going to be hitting theaters in the coming year. Sure, there are a lot of films that aren’t even on my radar yet, but I’m still plenty happy at seeing all of the current potential. Plus, […]
This is it folks – all good things must eventually come to an end. As such it’s with this final column that I Jason Coleman bid a fond farewell to both WhySoBlu.com and a career as a critic that has lasted over thirty glorious years. So to make sure I go out with a bang […]
I’m not last, but posting the day after Aaron Neuwirth is a tough act to follow. He’s the most informed of us here and is able to see an impressive amount of films released in a given year. For me personally, 2018 felt like I didn’t see as much as I would have liked to […]
In between big budget outings it’s good to know that Indie flicks are still alive and well for the film fan who demands more movies. This week sees five lesser known flicks hitting the big screen and thanks to continued cinematic diversity in smaller film fare there’s a little something for everyone. (Well, almost everyone!) […]
Just when movie going audiences thought it was finally safe to go back into The Further. Surprise! It is NOT! I bet you never saw a fourth Insidious film coming, did you? Given the low budget and success of the first three this was actually a no-brainer. I wish there were more surefire guarantees like […]

Let’s start this one off with act of admission. Insidious Chapter 3 isn’t exactly going to get any brownie points in the original title category. That much can be determined without even sitting down to witness the feature on Blu-ray. And unlike the first and second films, this “third” chapter does not follow the timeline nor […]
Darn! I was kind of hoping for an Unrated one too. So here we are. From the makers of Paranormal Activity and writer/director Leigh Whannell and producer James Wan comes the newest and scariest chapter of the Insidious franchise. The prequel Insidious: Chapter 3 debuts on Digital HD Sept. 22 and on Blu-ray™ and DVD Oct. 6 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. […]

A naïve man transporting lethal narcotics in his stomach is detained by the police. Alone and afraid, the mule makes a desperate choice — to defy his bodily functions and withhold the evidence…literally. By doing so becomes a human time-bomb, dragging cops, criminals. lawyers and his mother into his impossible escapade. Inspired by true events, […]

Christmas is looking better and better this year! Not only will I be in a warmer climate for the holiday season this year, but I will also have one of my favorite horror movies this year in tow too when Insidious: Chapter 2 comes home to Blu-ray on Christmas Eve. What a great present or […]
I can’t help it, but I’m a firm believer that once you strike gold…DON’T be greedy. I hold that same belief when it comes to 2011’s Insidious (as you can see from my love and praise of it over here). The movie was a fresh of breath air for the horror genre and despite it’s […]
