Is it a Shout release, Stephen?

Those extras are the same as the Killer Double Feature with Visiting Hours.

They released it as a double feature on Blu as well? That's a very good package.

Hansel and Gretel is a decent movie but i already have the Terracotta Distribution bluray release from 2012. Looking at the 88 Films version it has a whole host of extras so will be double dipping and picking it up at some point when the price drops.

A day one purchase for me is the Shaw Brothers release Human Goddess as nice to see one of the range that i don't actually own or have watched before.

Hansel and Gretel is the only one with any extras listed. Which is a pity.

I know. I'll ask the guys on Twitter if they can try and secure some extra features – it can't hurt to ask.

Who writes this guff?

Still at least it will look beterr than ever.

Typo accepted - you can see how many posts I had to write in quick succession today - but it's me that writes this guff and getting our product into shops is essential thus so is hyperboil. If you want to take over my job and do it better be my guest.

I try hard to sell them on adding extras to almost every release too.

"We are not done yet...

August 13th brings IRIS: THE MOVIE to UK BluRay!

A whole continent was glued to the small screen when the hit South Korean television series IRIS made its prime time premiere! And now British viewers can experience the 2010 motion picture adaptation of this balls-to-the-wall action thriller in beautiful HD!! Featuring performances from Seoul superstars Lee Byung-hun (A BITTERSWEET LIFE), Jung Joon-ho (ANOTHER PUBLIC ENEMY) and T. O. P (the sex symbol rapper from Kpop chart toppers Big Bang), this rough edged tale of North vs. South military stand offs and a secret agency of bad ass license-to-kill fighters who have Kim Jong-un quaking is timely and terrific. As we all face nuclear annihilation in the Trump/ Pyongyang showdown at least enjoy the heart thumping fun of IRIS before the world comes to a crippling conclusion!

As the legend that is T.O.P himself might say... FANTASTIC BABY!"
