Snow White: A Tale of Terror (Schneewittchen)

[shinobipopcorn]

This was apparently released on German blu-ray August 31st 2018:



If anyone buys it, could you confirm/deny if it is locked to region B? Or does anyone with Pandastorm/Universal blu-ray experience know if their titles are automatically locked?

The UK blu is marked locked and there's no info on the AU blu... (it's probably not going to get a US blu. )

I don't know about the region coding, but caps-a-holic has a number of Pandastorm Pictures Blu-ray titles, and they are all BD-25 with lower bitrates if necessary, and most of them don't seem to have many (if any) substantial extras.

Having said that, their disc for Snow White: A Tale of Terror apparently features an exclusive audio commentary with the director, Michael Cohn (none of the other BD/DVD/LD releases I can find mention a commentary, either):



The problem is that I can't find much about Cohn online, so I don't know if he speaks German. I find it a bit hard to believe that Pandastorm would go to the trouble of recording a commentary in English and subtitling it in German for the likes of this film, so I'm hoping someone can chime in about the disc and commentary, myself.

EDIT: Assuming his (surprisingly short and biographically incomplete) IMDb page is correct, it looks like Cohn also directed a film Sacrifice (2015), and is American:

Anything is better than the US DVD, which is non-anamorphic.

Only the Polygram DVD isn't anamorphic. The Universal rerelease is (as are the UK and German editions).

Does anyone know how this looks (ie is it worth purchasing)?

It's the first release that features this new Michael Cohn commentary and also an alternate trailer with 1:57 runtime. Both in English but available only with German subtitles. There's some footage in the trailer which is not included in the movie.

But is the disc locked?
