'The latest news on all things 4k Ultra HD, Blu-ray and Gear'
Arrow Video has just announced their November 4K UHD and Blu-ray line-up. This wave includes A Simple Plan (4K & Blu-ray), The Invasion (4K & Blu-ray), Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (4K), and Tomie, At Close Range (UK only) and Shawscope: Volume Three on Blu-ray.
I might have got the price wrong as well, Amazon US has it listed as almost $50. Price all in to the UK, £55. Ouch. I guess, as usual, it's a rights thing, probably with Paramount.
It's still on iPlayer with no sign of leaving anytime soon. Maybe I'll, errr, remove it from that service. cough
The Shawscope one is a no-brainer. I'd usually wait for them to reduce the price quite a bit but, as previously mentioned, I'd read somewhere that the first two had run numbers that were too high and they are making less of this round. I might roll the dice on it.
Tomie is Interesting but Arrow have previously released sets for Ringu and Ju-on and I presume they must have a Tomie set in the works (there are nine films, so it'd be a big one) but I don't know...
A Simple Plan looks well worth picking up. Always love a bit of Raimi.
I enjoyed The Invasion more than I thought I would as another Invasion of the Body snatchers remake but don't have a hankering to buy it.
Elvira is a tricky one as the nostalgia is not so strong on this side of the Pond but that first film is half decent comedy horror, the second... not so much.
