Dating Game Killer was Investigation Discovery’s attempt into the made-for-TV route, perhaps seeing the success its sister company, Lifetime, were doing.

Veronica Mars: The Complete First Season (2019) Blu-ray Review
I never really watched the original run of Veronica Mars outside of a clip here and there, so going in I didn’t really have any warm memories though I know some avid fans didn’t care for this revival but for me, I found it passably entertaining.

Ringu Collection Blu-ray Review
The Ringu Collection is another great release from Arrow Video and although the three movies included weren’t amazing, the first still being the best, but any fan of J-horror should have this in their collection.
Ringu 0 Blu-ray Review
Ringu 0 is actually a well done prequel that gives life to the Sadako character and gives a pretty good reason for enacting a curse on others later, although still not entirely sure how it gets caught on a VHS tape…
Ringu 2 Blu-ray Review
Ringu 2 is an inferior sequel but still has its moments and the atmosphere stayed relatively the same while the story did feel a little more convoluted, even confusing.
Ringu Blu-ray Review
Ringu is a wonderfully atmospheric supernatural horror film that I wonder if anyone used to modern horror has the patience to sit through as most of the movie has two characters doing research instead of an evil girl cursing victims.
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark Blu-ray Review
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is probably the rare TV movie that actually wasn’t half bad, if not also on the cheesy side, but the atmosphere was well done under John Newland’s direction and a fine performance from Kim Darby.

Strange But True Blu-ray Review
Strange But True is a finely acted drama and sufficiently directed film, but it’s also rather dull and includes a twist that seems straight out of a Lifetime Movie.
3 From Hell Blu-ray Review
3 From Hell is the latest from Rob Zombie and personally (though didn’t wholly mind his Halloween remake), I’m not the biggest fan of his, though certainly acknowledge he does have a unique style to his movies.
Universal Soldier 4K Ultra HD
Universal Soldier is a flawed film, even a little amateurish in some respects especially with the direction by Emmerich, but still a fun enough flick pairing up Van Damme and Lundgren.
Doom: Annihilation Blu-ray Review
Doom: Annihilation could’ve been dumb fun, as the 2005 version had elements of though overall still failed, and instead is just another in a long line of poorly made video game to film adaptations.
Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans
Teen Titans Go vs. Teen Titans is a fun family-friendly animated comedy that has enough for fans of all ages, though many of the humor is still oriented more towards a younger audience, yet I still had a blast with this.
Ultraman: Complete Series 02
Ultraman, which is the Series 2 of the franchise, is another fun season with for sure some outlandish story elements but a cool mash-up of the likes of X-Files, Twin Speaks and The Twilight Zone.
Ultra Q: Complete Series 01
Ultra Q: Series 01 isn’t a series I ever really heard of, but I’m also hardly an expert on Japanese television either, so going in to this for the first time, this was a pretty cool show, kind of a combination of The X-Files with Twin Peaks and The Twilight Zone.
Scarface: The World is Yours – Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Review
Scarface might not rank up there with other classics in the crime-drama genre, but it’s a great film combining the talents of Oliver Stone’s scriptwriting and Brian De Palma’s direction, alongside the performances by Pacino, Pfeiffer and Mastrantonio.
