New Lionsgate Playusa R1 Blu-rays, region free?

Hello everyone,

I wonder if you could please help with some info.

Lionsgate have a few new R1 scheduled for release which are fairly cheap on Playusa,

Red Heat
The Monster Squad
Cujo
My Bloody Valentine
Angel Heart
Air America

If anyone has these delivered over the next few weeks from Playusa can they please tell me if they are either region locked or contain the Bi-Lingual English/French packaging.

All the best, Ian

Red Heat is definitely region free,(the Canadian artwork is horrible BTW).
Can't give any info on the others,although Lionsgate don't really region code back catalogue titles anymore.

Cujo, MBV and The Monster Squad are all coded ABC on the back cover.

Some of these LG titles are VERY cheap @ Amazon.com and Amazon.ca so be careful about using PlayUSA.

I just looked on Axel at My Bloody Valentine and the rear screen shot appears to show region A,B and C. Anyone want to confirm this seems to be region free?

Replicant I seem to recall is a Lionsgate region a release and that is definitely region free
