It's that time of year again, kids. The holiday season is right around the corner, and we've compiled our yearly list of the best and worst Blu-rays of the year. Being that you can score a player for way less than 100 bucks now, there's little reason not to upgrade. Read on to find out where the smart money is!
There's no doubt Blu-ray players will once again be a pretty hot item this year, but what of the movies available for them? If you already own the DVD of your favorite flick, is there a need to replace it with a Blu-ray? I'm here to answer all of your questions in the fourth annual...
![Uncle Creepy's Blu Christmas Buyers Guide 2012!]()
Before we get into our picks (most of which are also available in new DVD versions; see review for information), let's take a second to explain once again how we rated them. They're broken down into three categories:
Can't Miss -- Must Haves: These are the cream of the crop! The purchases that are guaranteed to bring a smile to someone's face. Items no one with the tech should be without.
Good Buys: A rock-solid purchase. Sure, there's nothing really to die for about these Blu-rays, but be confident in the fact that you're spending your cash on the goods that you're hoping for.
Serious Hi-Def Junkies Only: Here's where things get a bit sketchy. These Blu-rays were included for a few reasons -- Either the movies suck, the transfer and sound aren't up to snuff, or the included supplemental materials (or lack thereof) don't do much to keep these ships afloat.
Click on any of the reviews listed below to find out exactly what you're getting and to find the link with which to order them. I've also included at the very end a few other recommendations that either came in too late to be reviewed or are not quite horror films but we love 'em anyway.
Please Note: This article will continue to be updated throughout the holidays as more stuff comes out so check back often!
Let the games begin!
