MVD Rewind Collection Blu-ray Releases: The Complete List and Collector’s Guide

The MVD Rewind Collection is a boutique line of Blu-ray releases similar to the Criterion Collection and Shout! Factory’s Scream Factory and Shout Select series. The line doesn’t focus on any particular genre of film but it does mostly feature cult movies that had never been released on Blu-ray before their MVD Rewind Collection release. Titles include Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, The Return of Swamp Thing, and Double Dragon. Similar to other specialty Blu-ray lines, the MVD Rewind Collection often features improved video quality or even new transfers and loads of extras (often including newly produced bonus features specifically for these releases).

This post starts with a list of upcoming MVD Rewind Collection releases and is followed by a list of all releases in the line by spine number. This post will be updated often, usually whenever new releases are announced. If you are planning on purchasing any of these Blu-rays on Amazon, ordering through any of the links on this post will give us a small cut of the sale price to help keep the blog running.
