I tried to watch this movie 10 years or so ago and simply couldn't get through it. Now, with Synapse responsible for this new Blu-ray treatment I'm more than willing to give the film another shot.

I'll admit to never having heard of Astron-6 before receiving this new DVD collection, but, with Troma responsible for this release, I'm sure we're all in for plenty of fun, insane depravity.

Italian exploitation master took a step away from the supernatural for this rather standard (relatively speaking) serial killer flick. He didn't, however, tone down on the sex, violence, and, most importantly, gore.

I'd never heard of this flick until about a year ago, but since that first mention of it, the talk has been non-stop. Now, The Criterion Collection makes seeing this obscurity a reality, thanks to this potentially amazing Blu-ray disc.

It's so great that The Criterion Collection continues to release their standard definition releases on Blu-ray, and the decision to put all of their Stan Brakhage collection into one, amazing Blu-ray package is their best move yet.

It'll be difficult to top the first DVD collection featuring Arrabal's best-known cult classics, but Cult Epics second box set promises to deliver the goods once again.

This is another cult classic from the great Tinto Brass, with the DVD cover promising "A Psychedelic Pop Art Experience." Sign me up!

This cult classic comes to us via Blue Underground, and the promise of a new Hi-Def transfer makes it worth revisiting.
