It’s a light week for physical media as we prepare for the onslaught of horror to arrive in October. The month does start off with a couple decent titles in the thrills department including a package Peter Sobczynski and Erik Childress catch-up on featuring the works of Lewis Allen. Paramount has put together the second of their “Scares” package which features at least one title worth getting in 4K that may also be more of a thriller than a horror film. Kino does deliver some witchy fun along with one of the best boxing films as well a young romance that may have you repeating the title of the episode. Finally, they look back on a series receiving numerous celebrations recently for its 25th Anniversary.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy are back on the review beat this weekend with eight new releases, many of them from the festival circuit. Horror comes in the form of sleepwalking for a couple (Sleep), for the woman that came before Rosemary (Apartment 7A) and creatures after a silent Samara Weaving (Azrael). Joseph Gordon-Levitt investigates a potential murder for Shailene Woodley (Killer Heat). Will Ferrell accompanies his newly transitioned friend on a road trip (Will & Harper) while Kate Winslet is the war photographer who captured the Holocaust (Lee). The director of How To Train Your Dragon has another heartwarming adventure (The Wild Robot) and the one who brought us The Godfather, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now finally delivers his passion project and the duo make no apologies for the final effort.
