Blu-ray Releases 8 May 2017
No new releases last week, well The Package starring Gene Hackman was listed as coming out but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. This week (Blu-ray Releases 8 May 2017) however is a truly excellent week with the classic Universal horror films coming to Blu-ray in the UK. Plus a rather excellent Dario Argento film that has been remastered.
