Films where Blue Underground's release is the pick. How picks are made

Director William Lustig started Blue Underground in 2002 after his time at Anchor Bay, and it has specialised in cult, horror and exploitation films ever since, with a strong run of Italian titles by Fulci, Argento and their peers. DVDs came first, Blu-ray from 2008 and 4K UHD from 2020, typically from new scans of vault elements with commentaries and new documentaries. MVD Entertainment handles US distribution.
