Oscar Rothman · 12-11-2015, 06:10 PM

Just announced via BU Facebook

Any fans of VENOM out there? This star-packed thriller featuring a deadly Black Mamba snake will be slithering on to Blu-ray next year...

Woot!

junyab · 12-11-2015, 08:23 PM

Wow, that's surprising and great.

Keeth · 12-11-2015, 09:07 PM

Great news! I like this film a lot.

I sure hope BU plans on releasing Anguish on bd at some point. And I still need to upgrade Living Dead at Manchester Morgue...

The Great Owl · 12-11-2015, 10:23 PM

Awesome! I really love this movie, and I haven't seen it in ages.

sancho · 12-12-2015, 03:42 PM

I have never seen this. I am going to have to check this out.

donidarko · 12-12-2015, 08:28 PM

This is a very classy British thriller with an outstanding cast. Loved this when it came out. Just watched the DVD a couple months ago figuring this would never get a Blu release.

NOW..Day 1.

WHOO HOO! I was thinking of this movie over the last few months! I love this film!

BluPat · 12-14-2015, 05:44 AM

Excellent news! Gteat movie! Very atmospheric and eerie.

dubious · 12-14-2015, 05:49 AM

Count me in!

StephenFS · 12-14-2015, 07:55 AM

I used to own this on DVD, then I lent it to somebody and never saw it again LOL....any chance of it having subtitles for the deaf?

Always wanted to check this out, great news.

Nice. That Susan George cover is so awesome. Much better than the DVD artwork.

I think they should remove the blu-ray and DVD logos on the bottom right though. Looks too cluttered, especially on the 2nd cover. The 'dvd/blu ray combo pack' on the banner should suffice.

Goremeister100 · 01-23-2016, 12:32 PM

Looking forward to this killer snake flick. Now if only SPASMS could get the HD treatment.

phoenixandrew · 02-10-2016, 10:32 AM

30-second U.S. TV spot.

FarewelltotheFlesh · 02-14-2016, 06:46 PM

Day 1 for me! Love the new artwork and I appreciate these lesser known films getting the deluxe treatment. Keep em comin' BU!

DrrnHarr · 02-15-2016, 01:07 PM

I own this on DVD, and remember watching it on British TV when I was living over there in the 80s. I completely agree about the artwork, the image of the appealing Susan George on the cover is almost worth the upgrade in itself.

Since this is a "Collector's Edition" does that mean we will have some extra's? Hopefully they port over the Director's commentary from the DVD.

warrian · 02-15-2016, 10:41 PM

Never bought anything from Blue Underground. Does it pay to pre-order or wait for a post-release price drop? Does it even make much of a difference?

I hate that cover art BTW. I've enjoyed this movie for years and both pieces of artwork being offered are just trashy and ugly. They don't represent the film well at all. Stunned how many of you seem to like it. The film's iconic poster would have been perfect IMO.

Still, that's no deal breaker. I'm excited to upgrade another DVD from one of the more obscure areas of my collection. I'm grateful for the release.

pksmith74 · 02-15-2016, 10:47 PM

Definitely going to get this one!

I remember the poster for this being in my local video store for many years! It used to hang in the back of the store along with the matching posters for Squirm, Rabid and Death Ship.
