Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Re: Arrow's upcoming release of Last House on the Left, for some reason Amazon US is now showing a release date of late July, although Arrow's own US site and Amazon UK are still showing the original release date of late May.

I wonder what's up with the discrepancy?!

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

From what I've noticed, Arrow's US releases are almost always inevitably delayed at the last minute. I suspect that Amazon is simply quicker to update the street date than Arrow's site.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

The Last House On The Left has been shipping from sites like DiabolikDVD & Grindhouse Video.

DiabolikDVD is shipping out Pre-Orders only right now and will put remaining copies up on their site later in the week.

Grindhouse Video put up their stock yesterday on their site.

Not sure about the major retailers.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

this is a nice looking set...

Yeah it is. Well worth the money.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Definitely, The Last House On The Left turned out nicely and is the definitive edition.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Surprise announcement from Arrow yesterday: CANDYMAN LIMITED EDITION - October 29, 2018
https://arrowfilms.com/product-detai...lu-ray/FCD1820

Supposedly Region B but deep down in the Twitter replies Bernard Rose joined in (posting pics of him and the DP working on the transfer) and claimed its coming to the U.S. as well, which suggests it might be one of the 10 titles Shout announces at SDCC. Which then further suggests exclusive bonus features that will force people to buy both. Guess we'll see.

Solid package either way:

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

are those region locked? the current US version has that Hamster Factor doc too, right?

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

^ I think they all are except for Torso.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Per Arrow's Facebook page:

12 Monkeys - UK/US/CA
Candyman - UK
City of the Living Dead - UK
Deadbeat at Dawn - UK/US/CA
It's Getting Weirder! The Making of House II - UK
Schlock - UK/US/CA
Torso - US/CA

Titles listed only for UK will most likely be Region B locked. The others should be Regions A/B.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Very excited for Deadbeat At Dawn & Candyman! :banana:

I still have my Dark Sky Films release of Deadbeat At Dawn on DVD. I'm glad this upcoming release will put the film back in print and accessible to anyone who wants to see it, as the prices on Amazon Marketplace & Ebay for said DVD are absurd.

Also looking forward to that 4K Restoration of Candyman. I kept the 2004 DVD release of the film because the A/V treatment of the film around the world hasn't been great.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Ooh, nice! Is there a pre-order link for the 12Monkeys first pressing?

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Since 12 Monkeys will be released in the US, that means that Arrow will now be releasing Universal Studios Films?? The possibilities!

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Normally it's been Scream/Shout Factory releasing the Universal distributed ones stateside.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Didn't see that one coming. Seems to come from the idea that all of the films from a certain director are worthy of a a SE. Now I wonder if Criterion will follow suit and add it to their collection of Del Toro films.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Excited beyond words about the remastered Django!

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Yes!

The DePalma De Niro set is interesting. I have shitty DVDs of those. I don’t remember the movies being that good.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Did a post get deleted that linked to Django and De Palma?

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

No, I only posted the CP one.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Where's the link to the other announcements that they are seeing?

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

The Arrow announcement claims that Crimson Peak is a UK/US release, which means they licensed it for the American market and Criterion can't.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Yep, this is great news.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Never seen the Django films. Assuming I'm still up for spaghetti Westerns after exploring the ones I already have (and the ones I'll pick up in a near future Kino sale), this set looks promising.

I was on a HUGE DePalma kick earlier this year, revisiting most of his late 70's early 80's work. I've come to really love this material, and his style, as I get older. The only early film of his I've been curious about is Home Movies. I'm not sure about this set though. I'll have to read up on the films first, as I'm sure plot wise there may be enough to hold my attention.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Obvious Price Error Alert:

Amazon's Canadian site has the Last House on the Left 3 disc Limited Edition set for $7.99 CAD right now. It has to be some kind of mistake, but according to some folks at Blu ray dot com who have ordered and received them it has been confirmed to be the 3 disc LE (2 Blu-rays, 1 CD, booklet, poster, slipcase, etc).

Here's the link:


If a much higher price is shown, make sure to click just below that, it should say "New from $x.xx". Get your order in before someone wakes up.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Following the link will just take you to the US site, so just go to amazon.ca and search for it. Also shipping to the US is more than the movie. :lol:

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

True about the shipping charge, but it still works out to be about 1/2 the price verses the US Amazon price, roughly $15 total including shipping from Canada verses over $30 shipped from Amazon US.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

It will not even let you order the movie unless you have Amazon Prime the Canadian version.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

^That comes and goes. I'm not a prime member, and already ordered/received it as have a number of other forum members. Look at the "International Blu-ray deals" thread.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

You could probably sign up for the 30 day free trial then cancel before the end of the 30 days. It's quite easy to do if you haven't already.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

You can order it now, not on prime (as of this typing)

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

I did order it after they removed the Prime Canada restriction. It cost me right around 15 US dollars, including the shipping fee.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Finally a "SE" treatment of Waterworld. I'll be looking to get the standard version with the extras. No interest in the LE with the inferior longer cut I already have on DVD.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Nice, looking forward to Waterworld.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Nice set on Elvira. Of extras:

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
 

Extras for Bloody Birthday. Looks like little if anything was carried over from Severin's version, but they did dig up the the Max Rosenberg interview (in which he disparages the director somewhat, as I recall) from the old VCI disc.
