I was excited for the Scream Factory version of the 2013 Evil Dead, but no Blu-ray included kinda stinks. I’ve been getting 4K releases here and there if they’re cheap to future proof but don’t have a player yet.

But a blu ray for the film already exists.

I’m aware but Scream Factory always does nice special editions.

Best Buy currently has the upcoming Army Of Darkness 4K Steelbook for $34.99. Best price I have seen so far.

Wow, the Child's Play 1-3 4K pack with the 5 posters and slipcovers sold out.

It was really pricey at $113.94. So this is the hardcore collectors who took these up.

It looks like you can still get the set with the NECA figure or the one with the figure and enamel pins which both still include the posters. Also you can get the individual editions with their respective posters.

Oooh!

A "Let's Murder Sex Workers" double feature!

I assume that Space Truckers probably uses the same transfer as the Region B disc from Second Sight, which was zoomed in a little too far and loses picture on all four sides.

Update: I found Space Truckers streaming on Tubi, with a credit to being licensed from Shout Factory. It appears to be the same zoomed-in transfer. I'm pretty sure this is the only HD master available for the film.

That STRIPPED TO KILL two-fer would make a lot more sense if they included the same director's STRIPPED TO KILL 2. The ever-game Maria Ford is in both FINAL JUDGEMENT and STRIPPED 2, and Shout could surely have secured the rights to the latter for a song. FINAL JUDGEMENT is a better film, though. A triple feature would've been nice.

Josh-da-man

Fear City (Tom Berenger, Melanie Griffith, Billy Dee Williams, Rae Dawn Chong) would have been a good double feature with Final Judgment if they did Stripped to Kill and Stripped to Kill 2 as a double feature.

(Though I don't have any idea what the rights situation to all four movies is.)

Scream has announced the specs for Evil Dead (2013) UHD
The good news is both cuts are going to be in 4K. The bad news is there's no new special features, and they didn't even collect all existing features. The following were available on the international unrated BDs, and the first two were also on the US Best Buy exclusive bonus disc

• "A Conversation with Bruce Campbell" (13:40)
• "Keeping It Real" (12:10)
• "Destruction of a Scene: Mia's Burial" (6:09)
• "Destruction of a Scene: Blood Rain Sequence" (5:37)

Depending on how the reviews of the transfers are, I'll probably be picking up the 4K release.

I already own the Target Steelbook BD & the Finnish BD.

I already have the 2013 Evil Dead on blu-ray (Best Buy exclusive edition, I think) and I haven't watched since I bought it, don't think I need any more copies of this movie.

Honestly, I'm kind of Evil Deaded out. I still own multiple copies of Evil Dead (1979), Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness on DVD and blu-ray, and don't think I'll ever feel the need to rebuy these.

What's new from our friends at Scream Factory in December?



And a steelbook:



Plus:





Plus Coraline and ParaNorman in UHD, which we already knew about.

The Return of the Living Dead is the longest review I've written in the past decade, but that means I'm wiped out and will keep this recap mercifully short. The 4K remaster is a massive upgrade over Scream Factory's already-impressive 2016 special edition, with its most striking moments standing toe-to-toe with the best looking movies I've ever seen on the format. And if you missed out on the previous Blu-ray edition, whew! You have a borderline-surreal number of extras to look forward to here.

Toddarino

This is the first time I’ve made a purchase immediately following my reading of a review.
Thanks Adam

Adam Tyner

Hopefully you still feel that way after watching it!

Xage disagrees.

I got home too late to watch the feature (or so I thought). I dove into the special features and discovered this Send More Brains doc is two fucking hours.
This set is stacked. I’ll get to the movie Wednesday night if i don’t get fucked at work again.

Adam Tyner

A quick note before you start: the two mono soundtracks appear to be mislabeled, and the “original theatrical audio” is actually the one that just says “2.0” (and vice versa).

On the 2016 BD, I hear the nasally New Yawk “send more cops” line in the original theatrical audio soundtrack, while the other 2.0 and 5.1 soundtracks are downpitched to make him sound bassier and more gravelly.

But on both discs in this set, he’s downpitched on the 5.1 and the track labeled “original theatrical audio”, while the other 2.0 track mirrors the original theatrical audio from the 2016 disc.

I just woke up and might be explaining that poorly, but hopefully it’s coherent.

kefrank

I'm about to watch this set also. Can you simplify it for me? Which soundtrack on the 4K disc would you recommend I choose? Thanks!

Adam Tyner

The one that just says "2.0".

That's actually the original theatrical mono track (not the one labeled "original theatrical mono", as one might expect!). If you skip to around the 1:09:00 mark, the Civil War-era zombie should say "send more cops" in a thin, nasally voice. If he sounds deep and bassy, it's the wrong track.
