TOP 60 DVD/BLU-RAY RELEASES OF 2017 PART 2

Welcome to the second part of the Top 60 of 2017. I got a few unpublished comments about last weeks list and why I chose certain titles over others.

Interesting questions all. I choose titles based purely on a personal like or dislike basis. I am always interested in hearing about what people would have chosen as the best DVD and Blu-ray releases of the year, so if you would like to contact me, please do.

Now, on to the countdown...

50. THE DISMEMBERED 1962 (GARAGEHOUSE) Blu-ray... A bizarre film unreleased for 55 years!! A horror comedy that really needs to be seen and finally Garagehouse rescued it from oblivion.

49. VOODOO BLACK EXORCIST 1974 (FILMCHEST) Blu-ray...I have always liked this off beat and bizarre film and was shocked to see it finally being released on Blu-ray, but I knew I had to have it. A living dead mummy terrorizes passengers on a cruise ship!

48. DR. FRANKENSTEIN ON CAMPUS 1970 (SINISTER CINEMA)...Very bizarre film about Dr. Frankenstein attending college. it has some interesting plot twists, and twist ending. A very entertaining movie and I was so happy Sinister turned this out. print quality isn't bad at all.

47. DEMON SEED 1977 (WARNER ARCHIVE) Blu-ray...Fritz Weaver and Julie Christie star in this chiller about a woman impregnated by a super computer. A truly bizarre effort and a very welcome Blu-ray release.

46. THE DEVIL WITHIN HER 1975 (SCORPION) Blu-ray...Gorgeous Joan Collins stars as a woman who gives birth to a baby possessed by evil. Ultra sexy Caroline Munro also stars. This Blu-ray is hosted by luscious Katarina Leigh Waters. SEE IT!!

45. THE INTRUDER 1975 (GARAGEHOUSE) Blu-ray...Garagehouse strikes again with another lost film from 1975!! Eleven people gather on an island for what they think is an inheritance and end up getting killed one by one. I love when rare films like this finally see the light of day after spending many years in a damn warehouse.

44. MOLE MEN VS. THE SON OF HERCULES 1961 (SINISTER CINEMA)...Sinister brought this, one of my favorite sword and sandal films to DVD finally in an UNCUT and widescreen version!! Print quality is excellent. In Italian with subtitles. A twisted little film about a race of underground beings trying to conquer the surface.

43. A*P*E* 1976 (KINO) Blu-ray...Unbelievably bad giant ape film from Korea, but that does not mean it isn't entertaining. Another shocking release from Kino. It also has the 3D version but one must have a special TV for that which I don't. Do I care? Nope, the film is one of a kind and very dear to my heart.

42. BEN 1972 (SHOUT FACTORY) Blu-ray...It took way too many years for this film to reach the home entertainment platform, but finally Shout brought us a beautiful Blu-ray. This is the sequel to "WILLARD" which also came out this year from Shout, and will be in the countdown a little later.

41. WARLOCK MOON 1973 (CODE RED) BLU-ray...One of my guilty pleasures! two young people stumble upon an abandoned spa and that is when the terror begins. Odd little film with a double twist ending.

Well, that ends week number two of our six week countdown. Again, questions and comments are welcome and thanks for reading.
