It’s time to take a look at all the new releases out on Blu-ray this week in the UK. There’s not too much out this week with Brian De Palma’s Carrie (1976) based on the Stephen King novel the big release. Time to take a look in a little more detail, these are the new Blu-ray Releases 16th April 2018.
UK Blu-ray Releases 16th April 2018
I’ll start with Carrie (1976) from Arrow Video, you may have missed the special edition that came out some months ago, December 2017 in fact. The disc content appears to be the same on this standard version but the 60 page booklet is not included. This is my pick of the week as this is indeed a 4K restoration making the film look pretty amazing on standard Blu-ray.
Staying with Arrow Video and they also have a boxet out this week, Seijun Suzuki: The Early Years Vol. 2 Border Crossings: The Crime and Action Movies which includes five films:
- Eight Hours of Terror (1957)
- The Sleeping Beast Within (1960)
- Smashing the 0-Line (1960)
- Tokyo Knights (1961)
- The Man with a Shotgun (1961)
Switching to one of Arrow’s other labels Arrow Academy sees Sleeping Dogs (1977) starring Sam Neill. Looking for some animated fun then 20th Century Fox have Ferdinand (2017).
Other UK Blu-ray Releases 16th April 2018
Rounding up the rest of the new releases starting with Warner Bros Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay (2018) whilst Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment has the Antonio Banderas film Unchained (2017) although that one’s showing as out of stock on Amazon.co.uk at the time of writing.
