This one is a sure buy! Have been waiting for a long time...having a region locked UK release has not helped the situation.

J :-D

Groovy...

JamesKurtovich · 02-13-2009, 06:16 PM

awesome! i recently bought and watched Evil Dead II and the ending looked promising for the sequel. i'm definitely getting Army of Darkness.

OrlandoEastwood · 02-13-2009, 06:22 PM

Great, another film I can upgrade from VHS to Blu-Ray. I have all three Evil Dead movies on VHS and I just need to get Evil Dead 2 and wait for whatever the deal is with Anchor Bay to release the first film.

It's a shame the Blu-Ray will not contain the "Official Bootleg Edition" cut of the film. My local library has it on DVD and my god the PQ is horrible.

Evil Dead II has been on Blu-ray since October 02, 2007.

The transfer though is quite bad. The colors are overblown and DNR has been applied to the max.

Y3k Bug · 02-13-2009, 09:25 PM

May seems so far away now that I'm going to have to wait for this. Is it May yet, is it May yet, is it May yet?

Universal has done a great job so far putting out high quality titles. I have faith that this will get the same quality treatment as other catalog releases.
