The Meg was similarly reasonably priced for a fairly new 4K Ultra HD release and I thought the film was fun and would benefit from the better picture and sound quality on this format.

I think I've only seen Blind Date once; I've had the Hollywood DVD release since 2014 and know it's been a long time since I've seen it because I can't remember anything about the film! Darkroom was a blind buy, purely because I have all the others in the Slasher Classics Collection and the synopsis sounds interesting.

Tammy and the T-Rex looks like an oddity, if only for the title because I looked at the disc yesterday and the title which appears on screen is Tanny and the Teenage T-Rex and Denise Richards is credited as playing Tanny. It'll be interesting to listen to the commentary and find out why the title on the packaging and poster artwork doesn't mention Tanny.
RE 'Tanny' I think it's just a typo when they did the titles, she's definitely called Tammy all the way through the film, if I remember right about the comm track the director noticed it on screen and chuckled and said that shows just how little regard the film had after it was made...

Also, I agree about Ghostbusters, it's entertaining fun. It wasn't really trying to be anything more, and like the original version it used some of SNL's biggest stars at the time! They just happened to be woman.
