…once again, Synapse does well by a low-budget indie by giving it a slick A/V presentation as well as a tidy, informative set of extras. Collectors of modern horror will appreciate their efforts.

Nearly a decade after its production, Invaluable has finally made it to home video courtesy of Synapse Films in a blu-ray special edition. To their credit, they've put together a really impressive package for the fans that delivers an entire additional feature-length documentary as well as scads of other extras. Read on for all the Deadite-delighting details...

Grindhouse Releasing has announced their latest release - and if you love '70s regional horror, it's a real corker. They're releasing Impulse, a colorful, Florida-set psycho killer tale built around a hothouse performance from William Shatner. They're doing a 2000 unit limited run with some unique goodies that fans of this cult favorite will be intrigued by.

A nice surprise at the end of last year was Shout! Factory releasing The Sonny Chiba Collection, a nifty four blu-ray set that collects seven Chiba titles made between 1972 and 1989.

This box set shows how diverse the genre could be, delivering good cops-vs.-crooks programmers as well as a couple of films that mix cop procedural with dark explorations of the criminal mindset and - best of all - a pointed expose of how failings in the justice system could be exploited by the wealthy and unprincipled at the expense of the common man.

Synapse's promotional materials reveal it was a 15 year journey to produce this set - and fans of '80s genre material will be thankful for the results. Read on for a breakdown of the standard edition release.
