DISC DETAILS FROM SYNAPSE:
One of legendary filmmaker Dario Argento’s most shocking and fantastic films is finally available on Blu-ray in the U.S. in an amazing new release from Synapse Films! Released in the U.S. as CREEPERS by New Line Cinema, 1985’s PHENOMENA is has long been one of Argento’s most discussed and debated films by fans and scholars, and now it’s available in a definitive 3-disc Steelbook® that will make it a must-have release for Argento fans all over the world!

The young Jenifer Corvino (played by Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly, in one of her first film roles) is sent to a private Swiss academy for girls where a vicious killer is on the loose, brutally murdering students. Jennifer is a “gifted” girl with the strange ability to communicate with insects, and Dr. McGregor (Donald Pleasence, John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN series, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK) enlists her to help locate the killer. Jennifer finds herself in a bizarre murder plot with maggots, mutants, and razor-wielding chimpanzee mayhem! Can she uncover the killer’s identity before becoming a victim herself? Daria Nicolodi (TENEBRAE) and Fiore Argento (DEMONS) also star in this strange, unique and gory film from Italy’s Master of Horror, Dario Argento. PHENOMENA also features fantastic soundtrack music from progressive-rock favorite Goblin, British Heavy Metal masters Motörhead & Iron Maiden, Andi Sex Gang, Bill Wyman and Simon Boswell!

Synapse Films is proud to present Dario Argento’s PHENOMENA in a beautiful Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Steelbook® (only 3000 units produced), containing THREE different cuts of the film spread over two high-definition Blu-ray discs and loaded with extra features!

Absolutely gutted. :(

Was trying since the second it went live. But I never got to check out (platinum) even though I presses f5 a million times.
 
Lots of love for both of our returning artists, and another superb disc from Synapse, great to see guys-thank you!
 
Wow that looks great. I haven't heard of this film but lovely looking package and the work of HDN and its staff and everyone involved in this is just amazing. :thumbs:
 
First of all, no idea about the spec, just want to explain something:
You need to understand that even if it's HDN that is collaborating with this, in the end, it's the movie studio/distributor that decide the specs of the movie. Also remember that there are some legal issues (distribution, partnership, etc) in effects that restrains them... Different part of the world, different distributors...

And finally, a region free player is now soooo affordable, it shouldn't be an issue in 2016

But HDN could choose not to do business with retailers offering only region A discs, especially with one HDN edition/year region coding could be one of the criteria, Synapse Films isn't forcing anybody I'd imagine. It's not a dig, it's just that it's the second HDN Horror Line exclusive and it's the second region A locked Blu-ray.

And people keep saying that about "so affordable" region free players, good for you but here it isn't, and not easy to find either unless I don't know where to look for them!:dunno:

So when it's this costly ($73 -including shipping- for one steelbook of a 30-year old film— albeit remastered), it makes you wonder what's the point. That being said I ordered one just now because I'm a stupid addict.

Both editions look AMAZING!! Well done once again HDN. :notworthy:

Was hoping to go Platinum this time around, but I see it's now sold out... not sure I could really afford it anyway.

Decided to go with Quiltface + both pins in the end. Can't wait to receive it! :D
 
If you are just joining us, our Black Label and Ninja pins are included in select packages at shop.hidefninja.com. They look great in person and help support the site and future projects. They are available in select packs at shop.hidefninja.com. Here is an example how final package will look:

I'll give the platinum another go tonight. Damn, that was mighty frustrating. :p
 
I will be passing as I really don't get this film. I've seen it twice over the years with an open mind. The music is cool but the acting is terrible. I like Tenebrae, Inferno, really like Opera, and love Suspiria though.

Even though the slips are similar to #1, I'm glad they removed the Ninja logo from the spine. Looks so much better, thanks for listening to feedback :)
 
....and I bagged a platinum! Someone must have cancelled. :)

I have the platinum package of Black Label #1 so had to get 1 now as well. Well happy now. :D

Great work HDN!
