WE BURY THE DEAD [BLU-RAY] (2025): "Although I don’t think it reinvents the genre, We Bury the Dead brings a zombie tale more focused on human drama than violent thrills. Buoyed by a strong lead performance from Daisy Ridley, it becomes a good variation on this well-worn theme." Starring Daisy Ridley, Brenton Thwaites. Vertical, $19.96, 3/17/2026.
ZODIAC KILLER PROJECT [BLU-RAY] (2025): "As a ‘documentary about a failed documentary’, Zodiac Killer Project comes with an intensely ‘high-concept’ premise. While it occasionally scores points as a dissection of the ‘true crime’ genre, too much of it just seems dull and semi-pointless. Starring Charlie Shackleton. Music Box, $34.95, 3/17/2026.
MERCY [4K UHD] (2026): "Although Mercy attempts a creative way to tell a detective story, it doesn’t hit the mark. Instead, the end product feels like a bunch of gimmicks in search of tension and excitement." Starring Chris Pratt, Rebecca Ferguson. MGM, $34.99, 4/7/2026.
HERCULES AND THE CAPTIVE WOMEN (2026 REMASTER) [BLU-RAY] (1961): "I can handle a campy film, but I can’t stomach a dull campy film. Alas, we get that from Hercules and the Captive Women, a painfully boring stab at action and adventure." Starring Reg Park, Fay Spain. Film Masters, $21.99, 1/27/2026.
DIE MY LOVE [4K UHD] (2025): "If viewers hope to get an honest look at the challenges of new motherhood, they won’t find it from the overbaked Die My Love. The movie takes its subject matter to such a cartoony extreme that it becomes a campy waste of talent." Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson. Mubi, $42.98, 4/21/2026.
A BUCKET OF BLOOD (2026 REMASTER) [BLU-RAY] (1959): "A surprisingly lively look at an aspiring artist who resorts to murderous methods, A Bucket of Blood works pretty well. The movie melds genres in a positive way and enjoys a strong lead performance from Dick Miller." Starring Dick Miller, Barboura Morris. Film Masters, $24.99, 2/24/2026.
