Soon after they get settled in the secluded home, Alex's parents are brutally attacked by a psychotic truck driver (Philippe Nahon), who proceeds to stalk the two women as well. When the killer kidnaps Alex in his truck, Marie hides in the back to try and rescue her, but the bloodshed is far from over

Love this film but I’m happy with Second Sight’s version.

Same here. That artwork on the steelbook is something. If it was better, then I might consider a purchase.

[CrimsonLegionVMCXIX]

Will be buying this. I kinda like the art, though would've preferred something grungier, and I avoided the SS version in favor of waiting for a Region A release.

Couldn’t agree more. Way too busy and colorful for such a bleak movie.

[JoelGoodsen]

Already own the Second Sight edition, which makes this a pass.

Hopefully we are nearing the end of SS release titles, and we can get back to juicy stuff like Frailty, Meatballs and Jacob's Ladder etc.

ALTHOUGH, its possible LionsGate could beat the SS release with an Atmos remix, because SS' was 5.1 only. Are specs out for this yet?

Specs aren't public yet, but it will have a French 7.1 track, and an English 5.1 track too. No Atmos.

[CSM101]

The 7.1 French track is punchy as hell and I was missing it on the SS version. I may get it just for that. I love the inner art. I don’t hate the outer art but would’ve preferred something more in line with the inmer photo. Absolutely love this movie.

[MifuneFan]

I haven't seen the movie, so I thought the cover was a flying saucer crashing into earth when I first looked at it

[Gacivory]

The cover is giving me more Braindead than High Tension.

Looks nice and it’s an ok price, plus I never picked up the SS release. Maybe one day.

Yeah looks like the LionsGate has better sound than SS. Probably can flip the SS and lose nothing or even profit

Plus winning me over with open standard HDR10+ instead of proprietary DV

Truly one of the worst covers I have ever seen. Does not evoke the film at all.

It's the same artist as the terrible Robocop 2 steelbook, and the terrible Ouija steelbook, and the terrible Escape from NY steelbook, and much more!

I don't like shitting on an artist, as I understand the time and skill involved, but his art is everywhere ! I don't get it, as his style is an acquired taste at best.

Maybe this will help



anyhow this steelbook way better than the basic instinct / king of ny watercolor art

[freddy=legend]

Was very excited about this but after seeing that artwork. I’ll just upgrade my Second Sight Bluray to their 4K now.

I mean, there is a super bloody scene with a concrete saw in the movie:

the picture inside the steelbook is the result of the drawing on the outside in the movie.
