New on Blu-ray:
Kill Zone (£24.99 RRP): An ailing veteran cop whose relentless determination to do away with an untouchable gangster has led him to employ a series of unethical tactics finds his investigation complicated by the arrival of principled new inspector and the death of a fellow cop in this explosive underworld tale from Skyline Cruisers director Wilson Yip. Facing an inevitable retirement, the beleaguered and cancer-stricken Detective Chan (Simon Yam) has grown desperate to put away Teflon-coated crime boss Po (Sammo Hung) — so desperate that he even begins planting false evidence and tampering with video in hopes of making a charge against Po stick. As Detective Chan begins to grow accustomed to thoughts of retiring and make way for honest incoming Inspector Ma (Donnie Yen), the ongoing investigation hits a snag when an undercover cop who has infiltrated Po's gang is mysteriously killed.

Cut (£10.99 RRP): Cut is a tense British horror starring Zach Galligan (Gremlins) and a host of up-and-coming native talent. The story takes place in a cottage located deep in the wilds of the Lake District, in which a group of friends have returned following a party. In this isolated retreat, the tired party-goers' nerves get the better of them. And soon they find that the urban legends they were dismissing only moments before, are becoming a horrific reality. What makes Alexander Williams' Cut stand out from the 'slasher film' pack is that the action takes place in one long continuous shot. The result is a uniquely claustrophobic experience, which pulls you in and offers no mercy.

iMurders (£12.99 RRP): In the aftermath of a tragic shooting involving a jilted lover, eight members of the FaceSpace chat-room are being methodically slaughtered in their own homes. Perhaps Sandra Wilson (Terri Colombino), a thirty-something professional with a decidedly mysterious past, holds the key to solving this bloody mystery. But she's not the only suspect, because unstable Bostonian Janet King (Miranda Kwok), ambitious Professor Uberoth (William Forsythe), haunted model Lindsay Jefferies (Gabrielle Anwar), phone sex operator 'Meltnurmouth' (Jane Dashow), and special effects artist Mark Sanders (Wilson Jermaine Heredia) all seem to have a motivation for murder. Meanwhile, as FBI Agents Otis Washington (Tony Todd) and Lori Romano (Brooke Lewis) race to capture the killer, Lori's brother Joe (Frank Grillo) realizes that he may hold the clue that will crack the case wide open.

The cabin's owners are famished, and it's going to take more than venison to satisfy their ravenous appetites. Now, as the bloodied snowboarders realize they're about to become the special of the day, the vicious flesh-eaters find that their next meal isn't going to come easy.
