In the third millennium, the world changed. Climate, nations, DVD and Blu-ray prices, all were in upheaval. The Earth transformed into a poisonous, scorched desert, known as "The Cursed Earth". People crowded into a few Megacities, where roving bands of street savages created violence the justice system could not control. Law, as we know it, collapsed. From the decay rose a new order, a society ruled by a new, elite force. They were the police, jury and executioner all in one. They were the Judges. But we were okay because we had the SFX Friday bargains round-up…
First off this week we found a pile of horror movie box-sets on Amazon, starting of with a set which included the original 1958 The Fly film, along with its two sequels Return Of The Fly and Curse Of The Fly .
