I know this is a USA Arrow thread but I did a search and couldn't find a 88 Films thread but figured it was kinda related to the Arrow importer lovers like me:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/8...2/x/14274777#/

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this but I couldn't find anywhere that was more relevant and didn't want to start a new thread. I looked in the international section but couldn't find anything and that area is dead as a doornail. but I thought someone here may have an interest if they hadn't seen it over a BD.com.

Product Description
THE LUCKY ONES DIED FIRST...

Horror master Wes Craven achieved critical and commercial success with the likes of Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street but for many genre fans, the director s seminal 1977 effort The Hills Have Eyes remains his masterpiece.

Taking a detour whilst on route to Los Angeles, the Carter family run into trouble when their campervan breaks down in the middle of the desert. Stranded, the family find themselves at the mercy of a group of monstrous cannibals lurking in the surrounding hills. With their lives under threat, the Carters are forced to fight back by any means necessary.

As gruelling a viewing experience today as it was upon initial release, The Hills Have Eyes stands alongside the likes of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Night of the Living Dead as one of the defining moments in American horror cinema.

Finally, the 1977 original HILLS HAVE EYES get a 1080p treatment! So glad Arrow instead of Scream Factory is releasing it... Have already placed my preorder. Such is my faith that Arrow will produce a stellar release, that I didn't even give the order a second thought.

Their track record in both have their branches have been stellar and fans can pre-order without too much worry.

I believe this release is limited but I haven't read anywhere what will be exclusive to the limited edition other than the booklet.

I would hold off for Arrow's sale. It should be coming up soon and their prices will be much better.

yeah, 2 for £25 is still at least $40 bucks US, right?

Further to that, some of the Arrow titles in the 2/£25 sale were previously part of a lengthy 3/£20 sale last year. Several Arrow discs (Dressed To Kill, Forbidden Zone, Maniac Cop, Funhouse, Baron Blood and probably a few others) were still part of the latter sale up until this past weekend but now they're back to standard listings from the looks of it. Perhaps it's a sign of an upcoming sale either via Amazon or Arrow's own site?

Format: Blu-Ray + DVD
Starring: Brian Matthews, Leah Ayres, Brian Backer, Jason Alexander, Holly Hunter
Directed by: Tony Maylam

Synopsis:
GATHER AROUND THE CAMPFIRE TO DIE!

Of all the many slice-and-dice films that emerged in the early ’80s, few remain as gruesomely effective as The Burning – the notorious “video nasty” now finally unleashed on Blu-ray!

When an ill-advised prank misfires, summer camp caretaker Cropsy is committed to hospital with severe burns. Released after five years, hospital officials warn him not to blame the young campers who caused his hideous disfigurement. But no sooner is Cropsy back on the streets than he’s headed back to camp with a rusty pair of shears in hand, determined to exact his bloody revenge…

With standout gore effects courtesy of FX legend Tom Savini, The Burning proved too shocking for UK censors upon its original video release. Now, fully uncut and in High Definition, The Burning is ready to reclaim its place as the ultimate summer camp nightmare.

For comparison, here are the special features on the Shout region 1 release:


Blood 'n' Fire Memories: A Detailed Look at the Creation of the Film's Make-Up Effects with Special Effects Artist Tom Savini. Savini urges viewers not to watch this short before seeing the film, and he's right, for he gives away the goods on several key special effects. Interestingly, Savini himself played Cropsy's legs in the opening scene where Cropsy might be thinking, a la Frankenstein's monster, "fire bad". (1080p; 18:01)

Slash & Cut: An Interview with Editor Jack Sholder. Sholder reveals he kind of stumbled into editing, having intended to pursue a career in English literature. He makes one kind of funny comment, saying he had no interest in horror films, preferring instead "American classics" by (get ready) Truffaut, Renoir and Fassbinder. (1080p; 12:04)

Cropsy Speaks: An Interview with Actor Lou David. David is kind of creepy looking anyway (sorry, Lou), so he made a perfectly reasonable choice for Cropsy. He says his career has been limited to playing "fools and ghouls". (1080p; 11:19)

Summer Camp Nightmare: An Interview with Actress Leah Ayres. Ayres recounts how she matriculated from modern dance into film and what this shoot with so many young actors was like. (1080p; 6:45)

Behind the Scenes Footage (1080i; 7:56)

Theatrical Trailer (1080p; 1:27)

Make-Up Effects Still Gallery (1080p; 2:25)

Poster & Still Gallery (1080p; 3:05)

Audio Commentary with Director Tony Maylam and International Film Journalist Alan Jones. This is a highly engaging commentary. The best thing is that Maylam obviously takes neither himself nor the film at all seriously, and he's actually a little derisive now and then as the film plays, which only makes the commentary all the more charming. There a are a lot of great anecdotes here about the Weinsteins and the filming process.

Audio Commentary with Stars Shelley Bruce and Bonnie Deroski. This is a little less effective commentary, but quite enjoyable nonetheless. Most of these young actors were pretty green and were just learning their craft, but some, notably Alexander, already were savvy enough to rewrite their parts to make them better fits for their personas.

So basically one new commentary and it is packaged in a Steelbook. Looks like I will pass since I already have the Scream Factory release. Love the look of that steelbook though.

Probably also will have a better encode of the film, since it will be an Arrow release. Still not enough to double-dip, especially since it will be an expensive import and region B-locked as well.
