Phone up your local hmv or fopp store, and if they still have it then resrve a copy. Then, if Amazon haven't dispatched yours yet and you can still cancel then do. Then go pick up the one you reserved at hmv or fopp - job done, copy attained. I've done this a few times with stuff that i really wanted but was discontinued. Even my story with this set os a bit of a farce, but got my pristine copy in the end.

Don't worry... if you like Carpenter, then I'm sure you'll like this! I've seen dumber movies, but some of the decisions the characters make in this are quite laughable. :LOL:

But yeah, the soundtrack is awesome! So glad they included it with this edition... I'm still actually tempted to pick it up on vinyl though. :D

Yeah, the soundtrack unbelievable! I played the music video link, that virkia put up a while back, yesterday, and since then it has not left my head! Over and over it goes........haha! On another note though, i remember when they played this at the cinema on a double bill with Carpenters "Halloween"............todays moviegoers? They missed a special time, that's all i can say! Anyway, i'm sure i won't be let down by this, most, if not all, of Carpenters movies of that era do it for me.

Haha, it is a pretty catchy soundtrack to be fair. :D

That sounds like it would've been awesome to experience. I wish I could've been there!

I didn't see this film for the first time until a few years ago, so it's definitely something that can still be enjoyed even today. Do let us know what you think once you've seen it though. :)

Yeah, Those days were something else - double bills playing nation wide of exploitation, action and horror movies. I remember my local cinema in particular playing double bills like "The Excircist" with "Friday the 13th". Or "Enter the Dragon" with "Rollerball"........... Stuff like that just won't happen anymore, certainly not on a frequent basis. Anyway, yeah sure, i will let you know what i think when i finally get to watch it.

Worth every penny at £19.99

The packaging - digipack and slipcase with art cards is very nicely done.

Just watched this, very good film, hadn't seen it in such a long time, it is a classic.

Good sound and quality picture, extras are ok but some poor quality recording at one of the interviews with Austin and Carpenter, one very amateur audience member must have recorded it, apart from that its an easy buy.

I don't mind the design of the cover because its different and original.

Yeah, i agree. I like it when they come up with artwork thats different to what we're used to seeing, and i think that it's appropriate on this release.
