Stocking up your Blu-ray collection for the colder months? August brought us a bumper pack of 4K, standard, and Collector’s Edition releases. Between Exit 8, Nightcrawler, and Project Hail Mary, there’s barely space to give the eyes a break, especially if you’re feasting on all those bonus features as well.
In the horror world, Barbarian and a three-disc The Thing collection will keep us going until Halloween, while classics like Harlan County USA, Nightcrawler, and The Stunt Man have all had their own 4K remasters for the modern age as well.
