In for one.
Happy to see the artwork the same as for the Amaray and even better without the out of place silly large white banner at the top with " THEY WON'T STAY DEAD ! " in large print.
Hoping for a reissue by Twilight Time of the 1990 version, though enough of this limited to 3,000 nonsense particularly as this is, to my knowledge, the only available of this film on Blu-ray.

It's on blu-ray with that German media book, also a Japan disc too. I'm sure a couple others.

@virkia was talking about the 1990 remake. The twilight time release is still the only blu-ray release worldwide. Its a lousy release and doesn’t even have all the extras on the DVD release.

Really wish we would get some original art for this, it's a seminal piece of horror and really needs the "zombie flesh eaters" treatment that Arrow gave Fulci's masterpiece. This however isn't bad and will be a nice addition to my horror steelbook collection. I'd echo what others said earlier in that Savini's 1990 remake deserves some credit - it lost some of the creeping dread but definitely became it's own beast - not forgetting Patricia Tallman was the hottest red-head zombie killer

. . . apart from the fact that this remake is a piss-poor release you'll be hard pressed to pick up a 'New & Sealed' copy for less than the equivalent of GBP 70.
Amusing that you can pick up the DVD for a couple of quid in 'Like New' condition without breaking into a sweat or in 'New & Sealed' condition on Amazon for about 12 quid.

It could have been a really nice steelbook if not for the text on the back. Its really hard to ignore.

 

[virkia]

Let's be thankful that the text is not on the front like on the Amaray !

500 remaining according to Zavvi

Now, where have I read that before ?

The best release on blu-ray that I've seen thus far is the Japan version, uncut and region A compatible.

. . . and only the equivalent of GBP 7 at the time of writing, which is just about the cheapest it has been since its 2010 release, though I don't know how much P&P to the U.K. will be added to that or if Amazon JP has a minimum spend of the equivalent of GBP 20 as they do in the U.K.
REGION FREE too according to another site
All the extras of the DVD included ?

Shipping is £8 to the UK but no risk of customs with something so low in value.

Does any body know how good the transfer is on this studiocanal edition?.

 

[thecardman23]

Anybody know the print run for this?

 

[blusteel980]

Works fine for me.

 

[justboy]

Anybody know the print run for this?

Zavvi's site states 2000.... for now.

 

[BluSteel2012]

There's a decent comparison between the 2 UK versions here....

This looks like a nice release but the last few Studio Canal releases I have bought had various manufacturing defects and damages (scuffs, paint chips, dinges, hairline scratches in the gloss), I'm not sure why but the quality control from their releases gives me headaches, I'll have to think about this one.
