January 23rd doesn’t feature a ton of new genre titles making their way to Blu-ray and DVD, but there are a few films that cult film fans should definitely get excited for, including newly remastered versions of Dario Argento’s Opera and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and the Director’s Cut of Red Krokodil. Several recent movies are also coming home too, including Jigsaw, The Killing of A Sacred Deer and Geostrom, and Paramount has put together 4K releases of both Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane as well.
