This May, Scream Factory will take viewers to the infamous Bates Motel and a twisted prison with their respective Blu-ray releases of Gus Van Sant's Psycho remake and 1986's The Naked Cage.
Scream Factory announced on Facebook that they will release The Naked Cage on Blu-ray beginning May 2nd, followed by the May 9th Blu-ray release (fittingly near Mother's Day) of the 1998 Psycho remake, starring Vince Vaughn in the role of Norman Bates.
The Naked Cage Blu-ray will include a new HD transfer and the film's theatrical trailer, while bonus features for the Psycho Blu-ray have not yet been revealed. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates, and check out the official details and cover art below.

And a ruthless, psychotic fellow inmate just wants to see her dead. As a full-blown cell block riot explodes around her, Michelle plunges into a desperate, deadly confrontation with the treacherous foe that can prove her innocence – or destroy her life!"
