The designer of the steelbook probably didn´t realise, that the monsters lips look lip-glossed when turning the colors to deep red. I also didn´t like the Basic Instinct steel, but this one´s the cracker. Easy pass for me.

There is plans for a remake of The Howling
It will be a netflix production directed by Andy Muschietti

It's still in development stage likely will be 2023 release

I agree. I've preordered the collectors edition instead as the art is so much better. Plus you get all the other goodies too making it a better investment.

The CE is looking quite good. It has again, like the Basic Instint one, the same artwork on slip, booklet and case, but it looks decent and comes with the collector´s cards, though.

The amaray cover looks very nice. I will buy the 4K-one when released.

Unboxing

Not my video



UK release is the same steelbook only difference is discs age rating logo and jcard

Looks good that, another decent Studio Canal Steelbook

I too think this is decent. The Basic Instinct steel kind of set expectations a little high I guess...

What I find annoying with these latest SC releases is the booklet that comes with the steel. They could have easily made these booklets in a format that fits inside the steelbook instead of loosly attaching it to the back. Now the combination doesn't really fit into my protector slips. I guess I could throw the booklets into my j card/slip stash - but I want them together with the discs.

I think it looks good in the video. Looking forward to seeing it in hand.

I don't know if UK steelbook has a booklet
The UK 4K Slipbox collector's limited edition has a booklet but is different artwork

Edit
Confirmed by @rebelrocks
UK steelbook does not include the booklet

 

[BatOutOfHell]

I think with Basic Instinct the Booklet also only came with the French and German editions?
