One reason I couldn't get back from the Comic Con wasn't because I needed some rest, it was because I had the Blu-ray release of New Line Home Entertainment's DARK CITY DIRECTOR'S CUT sitting on my coffee table. I watched 5-minutes before I left and it was the worst thing I could do, as it left me thinking about how incredible it looked and sounded all week long. Also arriving in this week's edition of Horror In Your House is LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE, which I suspect might disappoint the lot of you. Read on for the full list.
