‘Ghost Hunters’ Gets Much Needed Blu-ray Upgrade
Image Entertainment is bringing the popular Sci-Fi Channel series ‘Ghost Hunters’ to Blu-ray in early January, according to High Def Digest. Featuring a team of paranormal investigators who travel across America in search of spectral happenings, ‘The Absolute Best of Ghost Hunters’ culls together two previous DVD releases, “The Best of Ghost Hunters Vol. 1” and “The Best of Ghost Hunters Vol. 2” into one high-def package. Image will debut the Blu-ray version on January 6. Tech specs will see 1080 video (1.78:1) and Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo audio. Extras thus far include the bonus featurette “Ghost Hunters Revelations.” Suggested list price for the Blu-ray has been set at $29.99. This should make for a good time considering how HORRIBLE the show looks on TV and DVD.
One of contemporary horror’s best werewolf movies is 2017’s Good Manners, and it’s finally set to receive a proper physical media release.
Icarus Films is partnering with OCN Distribution to unleash a new Blu-ray that’s now available to preorder via Vinegar Syndrome. and with a limited edition slipcover.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
Good Manners is the second collaboration between filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, who write and direct. Zama’s Rui Poças‘ cinematography captures this unique werewolf tale described as “Disney meets Jacques Tourneur.”
Our own Trace Thurman wrote in his review, “With Good Manners, Rojas and Dutro have made one of the best werewolf movies ever made. That they are able juggle commentaries on racism and classism while still managing to tell two deeply affecting love stories is remarkable.”

- 12-page booklet with an essay by film critic Nicolas Pedrero-Setzer
- Making-of short film: The Making of a Werewolf (2 mins)
