RINGU COLLECTION Arrow Blu-ray Review
When Hideo Nakata’s Ring was released in Japan in early 1998, it completely revolutionized J-Horror, setting the stage for a groundswell of creepy supernatural titles to be released in the following years.

Even for people such as myself who find werewolf movies to be somewhat shallow in the realm of horror, it’s undeniable that John Landis’ An American Werewolf in London is a timeless classic that showcases one of the best lycanthrope stories put on the screen.

Part giallo, part psychological thriller and part nunsploitation flick, Killer Nun may carry an on-the-nose title, but there’s far more going on here than your standard exploitation fare.
It’s such an incredible release for such a pitifully mediocre movie, but I could see why The Prey may have developed a bit of a cult following with its strange choices and terrible dialogue.
Arrow has once again outdone themselves with these two releases, and although it would have been nice to have more involvement from Ashley Laurence and Clive Barker, both Blu-rays are must-haves for the discerning horror fan who still loves physical media.
Arrow Video has announced the U.S. lineup for October 2019, which includes new Blu-ray releases of The Prey, Toys Are Not For Children, Killer Nun, Crimson Peak, The Dead Center, An American Werewolf in London, the Ringu collection (Ringu, Ringu

As someone mildly obsessed with this time in New York’s history, I was already drawn to Cruising, but the fantastic remaster and commentary make this a must-buy despite the other bonus content being somewhat scant.
With this robust amount of content – combined with the fantastic restoration, the Arrow Video release for Alice, Sweet Alice is absolutely top notch and one that I highly recommend picking up.
