This movie is a tribute to the British horror anthology films of the 60's and 70's. One of which is the original Tales From the Crypt, where this film draws its title from. A running theme among these films would be that several people would find themselves trapped in a mysterious place from which the stories would be told, and then after the final story, it would be revealed that everyone was in fact already dead and in Hell.

Will this film ever be re-released on DVD or Blu-ray?

I have it on DVD already, but I wonder if it'll ever get the high-def or special edition treatment, because it's not the best DVD transfer I've ever seen, it'll do for now but I really would like to know for future reference.
