Excellent new! Just make sure everyone knows that Vinegar Syndrome will be having a halfway to Black Friday sale at the end of May. So hold off with preoders, if you are looking to save a little money.

Prospect and Six Sting Samurai will be mine!

cheez avenger · 05-01-2021, 06:44 PM

Pre-ordered the standard non-limited edition.

Scottishguy · 05-01-2021, 06:47 PM

Whoa! This like Criterion level for VS.

andreasy969 · 05-01-2021, 07:14 PM

Oh, I think this will be the first VS UHD I'll be passing on. The black levels will be interesting though.

To clarify since a couple posts have referred to this as a VS UHD: this is not a Vinegar Syndrome release, it’s by the label Gunpowder & Sky, who are now a “partner label.”

Gacivory · 05-01-2021, 10:30 PM

Preordered!

Thx. I actually thought "VS (Gunpowder & Sky)" was sth like "VS (Peekarama)" for sci-fi.

(And my VS 4K collection will remain complete then after all.)

EDIT: And meh, placed an order anyway.

Thanks so much for posting this. I really enjoyed this film and was hoping to get it on 4K.

knifethrower · 05-02-2021, 02:34 AM

Awh nuts, this will almost certainly make the German UHD import obsolete.

Prospect along with the other partner label titles announced yesterday will not be discounted during the sale later this month.

While I certainly embrace progress, as long as it's not for the sake of progress, this actually also sounds like trouble and it wouldn't surprise me, if stuff like that is also the cause for brief pixelation or stutter on certain players/decoders. I'm saying this also, because I'm a little disappointed that there never was a explanation for the cause of the former. I do have the replacement (I actually have 2 replacements, which isn't my fault), so that's cool, but it would've been nice to know what the problem was.

birdztudio · 05-02-2021, 07:38 AM

loved the film especially its soundtrack... this is great example of how low budget film done right...

rcafilm · 05-02-2021, 02:24 PM

Very exciting and unexpected news. I didn't care for the original super milky color pass, so hopefully HDR will firm this up a bit.

Snicket · 05-02-2021, 02:41 PM

Oh wow I will definitely be picking this up. What are the chances the limited edition will still be around for the sale in May?

It won't be on sale but definitely should still be available. It's limited to 2,000 copies.

Oh strange, on their site the wording seems to indicate the title will be part of the sale.

I think the "milky" look is intended, so I wouldn't expect the HDR to change the look all that much in regards to black levels. Does anyone own the German 4K release with HDR? I'd imagine this new release will look almost identical.
