I think it will be simillar to other releases like
Nektomantik - http://movieshelter.blogspot.com/2015/02/nekromantik-director-approved-limited.html
or Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - http://movieshelter.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-texas-chainsaw-massacre-part-2.html

Simillar to Amaray but thick as two of them

Thanks a lot.

I thought it would be similar in size to the 'Society' boxset. But judging from the mock-up, I think it's larger. Primarily it's about shelf room.

 

[galareta2332]

I am sure it will be like Society box set!

Packaging is not like Nektomantik or Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 as these are soft cardboard slipboxes

Arrow Video has posted
For those wondering about the packaging, this release will be in a thick cardboard slipcase (as thick as the ones used for Six Gothic Tales, Hellraiser and so forth)

This release is a Slipbox similar to Six Gothic Tales and Long Good Friday and Killer Dames and Videodrome

Hope I can get it on my shelf that's the main thing.

I think Arrow will be missing a trick if they don't release this film as a Steelbook.

I think Arrow will be missing a trick if they don't release this film as a Steelbook.

Personally, I'm getting a little steelbook-tired... More of these please

 

[galareta2332]

Me tooo...to much steelbook retailers even those with Limited editions (Hdzeta, Kimchi, Plain Archive, FAC, Manta, Blufans...etc) normal digipacks in good boxsets are rare recently.

 

[jdslater]

Do we think the ratings logos will be on a removable piece of paper?

 

[UpsetSmiley]

Do we think the ratings logos will be on a removable piece of paper?

I'm pretty sure they will be printed on a removable j-card slip. I don't think Arrow would put us through printed ratings logos.

 

[Mr Y Fronts]

I'm pretty sure they will be printed on a removable j-card slip. I don't think Arrow would put us through printed ratings logos.

I hope they don't have printed logos either (the mockups don't show them), but they have form, my Battle Royale boxset has printed logos, it is a few years old, but still...

 

[paulboland]

Limited Edition print run is 5,000

 

[UpsetSmiley]

I wonder if this will survive a price drop...

 

[marcnotrust]

Looks awesome this. Cant wait for it to come out.

Can.Not.Wait!

Me neither! I honestly can't remember the last time I saw this film... must be at least 10 years now.

 

[spass]

Me neither! I honestly can't remember the last time I saw this film... must be at least 10 years now.

Same, don't remember myself but it's been a few years that's for sure. And this package looks so good with all the quality extras etc...Arrow style. Bring it! My most anticipated release in a long time.

 

[Lollard2002]

Don't get me wrong, loving these releases but i wish arrow would tackle classic commercial releases like This Island Earth or The Time Machine which are in dire need of restoration and extras.

 

[Flloydo]

Me neither! I honestly can't remember the last time I saw this film... must be at least 10 years now.

I reakon I watch this twice a year. At least lol

Ever since the DVD first came out
