Why So Blu?

The Guest Invades Your Living Room on Blu-ray This January!

You know that expression that says “you had me at hello”?  Well the same train of thought can be applied here when this title, The Guest, because it is billed as “from the creators of You’re Next.”  They really did have me at hello there.  Even though I have not seen The Guest yet, that one line “from the creators of You’re Next” has me wanting to see it.  Call it brilliant marketing, call it what you want.  It worked on me!  The Guest Blu-ray Combo Pack will be released on January 6th.  So in the meantime please check out the full press release down below from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
