It’s no big secret; I love “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice”, the dark fantasy video game by Ninja Theory struck a chord with many players as it deals with the sensitive subject of mental health, uniquely through the eyes of a young woman back in early human history during the time of Celts and Vikings. In order to make the symptoms of Senua’s psychosis authentic, Ninja Theory consulted with Mental Health experts as well as individuals who actually are going through treatment for the illness. Because of this delicate attention to detail, “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice” to date has won 19 awards! Proceeds of the sale of the game went towards charities involving mental health but now Ninja Theory has taken it a step further, by creating a scholarship that will fund training for mental health tutors at the CPFT Recovery College East who played a big role in helping with research for the game, the scholarship is appropriately named “Senua’s Scholarship”.

That’s why we are happy to report that the movie is sinking its teeth into Blu-ray and DVD this month. Matt Smith (“Doctor Who,” Terminator Genisys) and Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games) star. Natalie Dormer (“Game of Thrones”), John Bradley (“Game of Thrones”), and Agyness Deyn co-star. The Stefan Ruzowitzky-directed flick follows “An unprecedented global pandemic of a super strain of rabies has turned the majority of humankind into highly intelligent, streamlined killers known as ‘The Infected.’ One victim, Morgan (Matt Smith), who is asymptomatic and can communicate with the infected, leads the last survivors on a hunt for Patient Zero and a cure.” Patient Zero is going straight to Blu-ray and DVD on October 23, 2018.

We’ve been excited about M. Night Shyamalan‘s upcoming sequel Glass from the moment it was announced. Judging by the brand new trailer, the film’s second, fans won’t be disappointed. James McAvoy is an absolute beast in every sense of the word in the video.

Along with McAvoy, the film brings together David (Bruce Willis), Elijah aka Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) from the first film of the trilogy, Unbreakable.”American Horror Story” actress Sarah Paulson stars as Dr. Ellie Staple who is exploring the three men’s so-called superhero delusions.

In 1981 an excavation in the ancient city of Herculaneum’s waterfront uncovered the remains of victims of the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79AD. The skeletal remains of 55 Roman citizens (30 men, 13 women, 12 children) were located in vacant boathouses on a small beach with a waterway leading out to sea. With the absence of (functional) boats on site led to the theory that this was the site of an evacuation. Originally it’s been accepted that these individuals died from suffocation due to the Pyroclastic flow from Mount Vesuvius, because of the skeletal state of the remains, it made it easier to examine possible causes of death unlike the famous ghostly remains of the victims of the city of Pompeii. A recent study published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE offers a disturbing hypothesis, the 55 victims in the boathouses of Herculaneum’s waterfront died as a result of their blood boiling to the point it made their heads “explode”.
