Looks like Amazon UK has a placeholder for this Bruce Campbell classic.

I love this movie. Might be my first import ever, if released.

My second import if this comes out. This is my favorite Bruce Campbell movie after Army of Darkness.

Sky_Captain · 02-27-2009, 03:18 PM

It's up for pre-order over at Play.com...

DCSholtis · 02-27-2009, 03:22 PM

I'm waiting for it to appear at HMV or Amazon UK as play.com does not ship to the US unfortunately. Thanks for the news though, Sky Captain.

Lucky bastards

P@t_Mtl · 02-27-2009, 03:53 PM

Such a fun movie, hoping for a Canadian release soon

Sky_Captain · 02-27-2009, 07:55 PM

MGM have the US rights, I believe. Could be a while for you guys stateside, hopefully this is region free.

DCSholtis · 02-28-2009, 04:51 AM

Pre Order up at HMV UK. Showing as an Anchor Bay release, I have no knowledge if they region lock or not.

Sky_Captain · 02-28-2009, 02:17 PM

They're patchy with their region locking.

AnimeOnBlu · 08-08-2009, 08:30 PM

Pushed back to February 1, 2010. Just got the email this morning.

DCSholtis · 08-09-2009, 05:22 PM

Yeah same here. Hope it's to give more time for extras or something.

Sky_Captain · 08-09-2009, 09:59 PM

If and when this disc ever comes out, it better be nothing less than the ultimate Bubba Ho-Tep. This is taking the piss!

AnimeOnBlu · 12-07-2009, 05:24 PM

Pushed back (yet again) to July 12, 2010.

SymbioticFunction · 07-12-2010, 04:55 PM

So...anyone buy this today?

Wondering how it looks and sounds.

yup gonna place an order later

here some nfo I found on the disk

"The extras are all ported directly from the SE DVD so nothing new there, though they're still nice to have and do provide some worthwhile insight."

on the video
"
The transfer is a mixed bag. Some scenes have considerable grain, and whilst the detail on show is a vast improvement over the DVD there's a downside in how that shows up Campbell's heavy age make-up. Previously hidden under a lower res image and duller transfer, it's now on full show with less than convincing results. That said the overall low-budget feel means it doesn't detract too much and you'll quickly just live with it. "

Yeah, I seem to recall that Coscarelli made the film for somewhere around $700,000. So was wondering how it would look on this format. Definitely looking to pick this up. I recently received an unwanted gift bd with the receipt so may see if I can do a swap at a HMV. Now I would like AB UK to release HD versions of the Phantasm movies.

SymbioticFunction · 07-12-2010, 09:25 PM

Sky_Captain · 07-13-2010, 04:38 PM

I received my copy last Saturday. Well worth a purchase if a fan.
