Unfortunately Zavvi have yet to reduce the price of an exclusive steelbook.
You are more likely to see the price rise.

Warner bros blu-rays usually B locked or ?? I have a multi-region player, but my friend wants a copy, but he does not, only region A.

wat. :movie:

I was referring to Cape Fear and Shutter Island, two gorgeously shot films. While The Conjuring wasn't that nicely shot, it is still probably the best looking horror film I can think of coming out of America that wasn't done by Kubrick or Scorsese.

Preordered this bad boy btw

Ya I have heard a lot of good things about this movie, have not seen it myself, but I am gonna blind buy this one. I also love matte steelbooks, seems like a lot of people don't like them, why is that? I have heard some people say that the quality on matte is poor, or maybe the finish does not take well to the steelbook??

Matte steelbooks seem to be more prone to chipping. People also like the premium finish that a glossy steelbook gives.

Just ordered one...embossed title and the noose! Blind buy but heard great things about the flick and the steelbook looks to be awesome

£17.49 sounds like a reduced price based on the first page of this thread. Ordered another steel... what else would I be doing?

Finally this price is more like it. Preordered.

Watched this before at the cinema. Great Horror, one of the best I've seen in years. I've whacked a pre order in just incase this one takes off in the coming weeks. I would recommend checking this one out at the cinema!

i have seen Cape Fear and so i totally agree about the typically great camera work in Scorsese's films

....but i find it amazingly bizarre how u classify Cape Fear & Shutter Island as Horror :alien:

 

[nekromantik]

Im off to see this today! So excited!

 

[Peenuts]

Blind buy 4 me on this 1 but heard nothing but good things about it so fingers crossed. Plus an embossed noose??? What's not to like???

This James Wan guy is shaping up to be a director with a really good résumé.

I'm not a fan of horror movies at all - when it comes to this genre I'm one of those guys who mostly likes films à la Scream, Cabin in the Woods or Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. But I do love the first Saw (which he also wrote) and Insidious (which he also edited). Haven't seen Death Sentence and Dead Silence, but the fact that this Conjuring is apparently so great is impressive - there aren't many prolific horror directors, maybe Wan is this generation's Wes Craven.

Anyway, I pre-ordered. I was hoping an Insidious steelbook would pop up before Insidious: Chapter 2's release (13th September in the UK), but it seems like a long shot now. Maybe in 4 months for the sequel's BR release (which I expect to get the steelbook treatment) will someone also come up with a steelbook for the first one.

Any codes floating around before I whack in an order? Hopefully this will be a world exclusive

 

[blurayisnice]

I have said many bad things about Zavvi lately, and all those things came from the bottom of my heart, but this is actually a good looking steelbook, a decent print, and a very good price for a new release.

I went to see The Conjuring last night. Not slept since last night, so I ordered this sucker! Scariest movie I have ever seen (and no, I am not a teenager).
