Wow, I was waiting for something like this to get all 4 movies in one edition, as I don't have any, and haven't seen the sequels.

Would recommend the second one. It's superb....

But the others are rubbish?

 

[Lollard2002]

But the others are rubbish?

They are not exactly memorable....

 

[Lord Vader]

Part 2 is, imo one of the greatest horror sequels ever made and a more than worthy follow up to the original. Part 3 is more like you're standard sleazy slasher but still kinda fun. Part 4 (prequel) is just OK and does its own thing ignoring any lore established in the sequels but does give us an interesting look at Norman's early years.

This set really took me by surprise yesterday! I knew Part 2 in 4K was on the cards but never expected the whole collection. Very happy!!

Ordered from HMV

No, missed that one, like a lot of others in 2018-19, weren't buying much during those years for family reasons (deaths and births).
But this one should be better anyway, and twice cheaper.

In regards of the discs, since it's 4K, maybe. But Amarays vs. Digipaks, c'mon.

Eh, they don't look like much, plus the cards here are better, and the booklet is in English.
I will probably need to get the Bates Motel series now as well.

Hmm ok, guess I'll give this a pass for now then

You do realise that the second one is a 100% remake of the Joan Crawford 1964 film Strait Jacket......

I didn't know that mate and confess I've never seen Strait Jacket. Interesting..

It's literally the same film. If you have seen one, you've seen the other..

The PET slip replicating the shower curtains is a nice touch!

Saddens me some collectors get 'out of breath' by just sitting and talking. What would happen if he walked...
We gotta get it together, I'm getting fat the last couple of years as well.
Watch more now, die sooner, or watch less now, try to get healthier, but have more years to watch stuff...

This is very introspective. Are you okay Mr Nero?
