In the midst of their 5th year anniversary, Scream Factory took to the stage at the SDCC to announce a slew of new titles that they're bringing to Blu-ray soon.
Here's the thing about this announcement though: It's a bit underwhelming.
Misery, Drag Me To Hell, The Strangers, and Silent Night, Deadly Night are all great titles, but they're already on Blu-ray, so unless each of them get stellar new transfers and come with some crazy Bonus Features, it's just a double dip. No thanks. Of course if you don't already have these titles on Blu-ray, then they are well-worth adding to your collection.
And are we crazy for not caring about Darkman II & III, Eye of the Cat, and Attack of the Puppet People?
Cyborg we can get behind though. American Gothic too.
We love us some Scream Factory, but with all of the great Horror & Genre titles out there that desperately deserve the Blu-ray treatment, is this the best that they can do?
**BIG ANNOUNCEMENT OF UPCOMING TITLES!***
