It’s a good time for boutique labels, as we get to delight in some deep cuts like the Umberto Lenzi caper Kriminal from Cult Epics on 4K UHD Blu-Ray. The film has been restored in 4K from the Original Camera Negative in HDR10 and is presented with English and Italian audio tracks. The release also includes a commentary track, interviews, a documentary, and more.
It is a huge month for the heroes at Deaf Crocodile as they offer an unforgettable pair of new Blu-Ray releases. First up, we dive into the whimsical Alexandr Ptushko drama Scarlet Sails, which is derived from a 4K restoration of the 35mm Original Camera Negative. There is also the monumental unearthing of the lost Mexican animated sci-fi adventure Roy From Space on Blu-Ray with a fresh restoration. Both of these releases come with commentary tracks, visual essays, interviews, and more.
The fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome and OCN Distribution have an exciting slate of mainline and Partner Label titles on Blu-Ray this month that offer a little something for everyone.

As always, it’s a big month for horror on Blu-Ray, including the mystical cult horror outing Diabolic from Brainstorm Media.
