On Blu-ray This Week: October 1 tp 7, 2007 - Image 1 


This week's dose of Blu-ray releases will probably have you busting out the popcorn, turning off the lights, and cowering in your couches. Just in time for Halloween preparations, the releases for this week are dominated by the subject of the dead who won't stay dead, the undead, the living dead, and George A. Romero flicks.

Arguably, those four are the same thing but we digress. Included in this week's releases are a smattering of various other titles that will definitely pique your interest, a documentary, and A Room With a View. Let's check out the releases, shall we?

First off, Halloween (1978). You know, the start of Michael Myers' career slashing in an effort to get rid of everyone in his family. He hunts down his sister, Laurie Strode (played by Jamie Lee Curtis), and basically kills everyone who gets in his way. Definitely a pick for the coming horror movie marathon at the end of this month, eh?

Next comes the movie about THE infamous vampire. Bram Stoker's Dracula in based on the novel and stars Gary Oldman as the two-legged lamprey... er, vampire and Winona Ryder as Mina Murray. The movie tackles the events that led to Dracula turning into a vampire plus what happened when he met Mina. Add the name Van Helsing into the mix and you've got something big in your hands.

Deviating from the pack of horror movies for this week's Blu-ray releases is Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This group of superheroes have far more problems other than their nemesis Dr. Doom. The Silver Surfer has paid our galaxy a call and as all comicbook heads would know, heralds the coming of evil devourer of worlds Galactus. What are superheroes supposed to do?

Anyway, here's the full list of Blu-ray movies to be released on October 2, 2007:
  • A Room with a View (BBC)
  • Bram Stoker's Dracula (Sony Pictures)
  • Dawn of the Dead (Starz Home Entertainment)
  • Day of the Dead (Starz Home Entertainment)
  • Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (Starz Home Entertainment)
  • Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (20th Century Fox)
  • Galapagos (BBC)
  • Halloween (Starz Home Entertainment)
  • The Day After Tomorrow (20th Century Fox)

I was thinking about getting it but I don't know how good it is and if it is worth it to get it on Blu-ray.

...and it's not worth it. You'd be better off saving your money for the loads of movies coming up from mid-October: Spiderman series, Die Hard series, Pirates 3, Cars, Ratatouille, Lost Season 3, and loads more.
