i prefer the remake

 

[paulboland]

UK release as expected
Another Arrow Video Steelbook to add to my collection

 

[Noodles]

I only recently picked up the amaray (which I still need to watch), so this will be a pass for me.

Weird story but I got a great deal on the USA edition at MondoCon directly from Arrow so I’ll probably stick with that one as well

 

[virkia]

Yes, looks fine but not so fine for example when compared to the handful of splendid horror steelbooks that Shout have been churning out in the US.

Appreciate the artist's attempt to convey the burning sun / scorched earth panorama with the hot oranges ... it was after all not unknown for temperature to reach 120 - thinking that director must have been a few sandwiches short of a picnic if he thought that filming in a desert in the middle of Summer was a grand idea ...
Would've preferred the steelbook artwork / colouring different to what's gone before however ...

... such as the original Tom Chantrell UK quad poster design where the eyes follow you around the room .... hopefully / maybe they can get permission to use it as inside art at least:-

It's aLive!

 

[bwatt99]

Ordered

 

[Lollard2002]

I find this film genuinely disturbing but I just can't watch the remake. Does nothing for me.

 

[Starling]

I wonder how long this'll remain in stock?

Ordered but couldn't find any working codes..

 

[Dhiraj1]

This has a cult following so should sell out soon enough

 

[blu-steel]

Where is the rest of the print run going? USA?

 

[wayne71]

And dispatched already.

 

[ajninfedih]

Received the dispatched notice too. Is this a glitch as the release date is June 11?

 

[Starling]

Dispatched too, I reckon it'll be oos by the end of today.

Received the dispatched notice too. Is this a glitch as the release date is June 11?

I've certainly been charged £17.99 by Zavvi along with the despatch email so we'll see what turns up.

Bit cheeky this early and possibly problematic for those on a tight budget.

 

[TheSanctuary9]

Just ordered and pumped! Never seen this but the remake is one of my favourite movies of all time! Bring it on, booklet included is a plus

 

[hal9000b]

Ordered one, too. Don't know if it will sold out soon and all the last Arrow Steelbooks went into sale but no ones knows.

 

[paulboland]

Where is the rest of the print run going? USA?

Yes
Arrow Video release in USA is an FYE exclusive

 

[paulboland]

Arrow films already had the stock of the steelbook as they was selling USA stock at the Texas Frightmare Weekend during May 3rd-May 5th

Arrow ship stock often early and Zavvi dispatch as soon as warehouse get stock unless it has a release date restriction
