Available now in the US on iTunes, Prime Video, Fandango and Microsoft. UK is still saying "available on Wednesday." Sonypictures.fi is not giving any indication it will come available here (at least today), so glad I still have the DVD. Looking forward to someone giving a review.

Any idea if they’ve been able to improve the picture quality at all? I know not much can be done since it was shot on 480p video, but the Fox Blu-ray and digital releases are nearly unwatchable on a modern TV.

This^, I own the Blu-ray and it’s perfectly watchable on a 4K OLED. (I even watched on a projector lol)

Looks ok but soft by design, you honestly forget about the quality when you start watching it, and the look definitely benefits the atmosphere, its like found footage almost but is more than good enough, looked better on my Iphone 15 pro max obviously but still ok on my 65" Oled, I am 51 now and the film originally came out i didnt really like it, but watching now it truly is a special film, an amazing movie, almost a 10/10 for me, it has real heart and feeling and an amazing atmosphere.
Well worth the £9.99 on itunes for me

I watched my old Fox BD about a year ago, and it looked just as good as I wanted it to.

50i Blu-ray release sourced straight from the digital camera source a-la Second Sight's Blair Witch Project Blu-ray

I had it in my library from back in 2018, assume that prior transfer is going to look pretty much the same as the new Sony one?
