Is there a group buy for this? Would love a copy as we don't have Best Buy in the UK.

There is a group buy - I'll be restocking it soon - added some extras since it came back for ordering.

I was able to get mine easily on first Best Buy the other day so it looks like this was just held back a week for a Tuesday release

Yeah, just a lot of confusion with this one - which is unusual for Best Buy, they usually have release day figured out...

One of the few horror films from that period that doesn't seem dated … standing shoulder to shoulder (IMO) with Marcus Nispel's 2003 remake w/ Jessica Biel.

Quite like the exterior artwork … but cough, cough, interior (as with the FYE) leaves a lot to be desired ...

Prefer the colouring of the Second Sight UK steelbook which coincidentally and fortuitously goes great with another recent horror steelbook from the same period (THE HILLS HAVE EYES) this time courtesy Arrow.

Anyway, couple of in-hand pics courtesy yos227:-

Picked this up from WOWHD recently. Seems like it's no longer an exclusive......



Shame there's no inside artwork but it's a really nice steelbook. The 'dusty' artwork/colouring really suit the tone of the film IMO.

Yeah it's been happening more recently that distributors are doing a bigger run, making it exclusive at first and then taking back stock and doing it trade wide.

Something we used to see int he UK all the time but never in the USA or Canada before.
