Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Arrow Video) [UK]
- Thread starter eerik
- Start date
This is the first Arrow steel I'm disappointed with. The white background is more cream and dull-looking, and that font with the orange drop-shadow looks like a fan-made cover for a DVD-R bootleg. Something about the poster just doesn't translate.
This is how you make a steelbook - take notice Fox/Zavvi! Nice finish, not dull matte black, classic artwork, collector's booklet...only thing I would've liked is something more on the back.
It looks decent but not as nice as other Arrow releases. I would have preferred the other artwork myself, I think it would have worked better. Still a great movie though and another top package from Arrow!
I like the simple and clean design, although there could've been something different from the front. Though, the backside matches "Foxy Brown".
The extras alone make this a fantastic release
Picture quality of the film itself is fantastic
It's a major upgrade from any previous DVD release and much better than USA Blu-ray
Note also has fixed Audio previous releases had wrong
Extras 10/10
Picture 8/10
Sound 9/10
Price I only paid £10.99 for Amaray
Price I only paid £13.00 for Steelbook
Postage £3.00 to Ireland
Note price has gone up already
It's more likely to go up in price than down
Also when you order from arrow direct they deliver early
I got this a week early
Again the extras are just fantastic it's a must purchase alone for the extras
Any previous DVD release you have you can bin it or give it away
It's also way better than previous USA blu ray
If you don't have this in your collection get it
Arrow Video releases getting better with each release
I would love to know what films Arrow have the rights for and also future releases comming we dont know about yet
I wish all film distributors gave same attention to there releases
Note Amaray Release has new artwork and reverse has the steelbook artwork best of both covered
Steelbook also looks great and is simple clean design looks good
I have the Amaray and the Steelbook as i wanted to have Artwork of both
This is one of those Films were the remake is better than the original and the original is also a good film

Just ordered direct from Arrow, I also ordered Hell Comes to Frogtown when it was on offer for £9.99.....
For some reason an Arrow release seems so much more exciting than a standard studio release, my Lifeforce steel still makes me buzz when I look at it and their release of The Wild Geese is superb as well as Runaway Train and Dawn of the Dead.

It does look a lot nicer in the pictures/videos. Usually not a big fan of the artwork being framed by the white border like that but it kind of works for me.
However the amaray release looks great. Oh decisions. Well, I'll be getting a great movie no matter which version I pick up.
