Night of the Animated Dead is an ill-conceived feature that just takes the classic and turns it into animated form with an additional scene from what I can remember. The animation itself isn’t the best but not awful while the voice acting was alright. That said, this is one to skip.

Death Screams is a film that some may find charming as a “regional” independent film, having been shot in North Carolina. For me, I thought a fair portion was rather dull with characters that failed to resonate.
Catch the Bullet was just an ill-fated Western-thriller that features subpar acting from a C-level cast who, in fairness, were not helped by bad dialogue and an overall screenplay.
A Night at the Opera debuts on Blu-ray courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection and stars the Marx Bros.: Groucho, Chico and Harpo, and the Blu-ray includes all of the bonus features from the previous DVD release.
