The Entity Blu-ray Review

Quote:

In an early alert to retailers Anchor Bay (a Starz company) has made public their plans to bring the 1982 Sidney J. Furie directed thriller “The Entity” starring Barbara Hershey, Ron Silver and David Labiosa to Blu-ray Disc on July 3rd. Tech specs and bonus materials for the release have not yet been detailed but stay tuned. The title is already available for PRE-ORDER over at Amazon with an affordable $12.49 price tag.

Poster/cover looks like a WWE event.

csdot · 06-10-2012, 12:44 AM

have my copy preordered.

slasherdisc · 06-10-2012, 01:01 AM

Scariest movie of all time for me! Hope AB included all the extras from the DVD.

Lacrymosa · 06-11-2012, 11:20 AM

Totally excited for this one! No more expensive ebay prices for the DVD. This is going to be $10.99 at HMV so I am picking it up there!

mlock · 06-19-2012, 11:51 AM

Anyone know if the dvd features will be included? I love the film, but also really enjoyed the documentary.

AlexSing · 06-21-2012, 02:12 AM

As a pre-teenager I used to stare at the VHS cover for this whenever we went to the store to rent a movie. I wonder why

Quit stealing my thunder. You know I said that before the crash.

Just came in the mail early from ImportCD's. Audio is TrueHD 5.1, original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, English subtitles, no special features listed on the back (though there may dvd ported ones on disk), but I'll update the thread with impressions tonight (I have a lot of blu-rays to check out, but I'll make The Entity one of the first).

The OAR is 2.35.

Might be worth it to have this in my collection!

Hmm... kind of glad I've held on to my DVD copy now, but please confirm these specs a.s.a.p someone.

Dickieduvet · 06-24-2012, 12:46 AM

Yep!, Eagerly awaiting confirmation of the AR, Not that I can do much about it, Copy flying over the Atlantic to me as I type

I should have checked before I typed, but it'd be very weird to alter the framing to 1.85:1. I'll be checking after I eat dinner around 10:20 p.m. EST or so, I'll have impressions up before midnight EST.

Drudge · 06-24-2012, 01:55 AM

Never seen it before but the trailer looks intriguing so I had to preorder

A.MONK · 06-24-2012, 01:56 AM

This movie really scared me as a kid! Will definitely revisit it.

It's worth watching at least once for the infamous

scene.

Could be Open Matte maybe??

Nailwraps · 06-24-2012, 02:20 AM

Or probably a typo on the packaging.

Brett C · 06-24-2012, 02:37 AM

I hope the aspect ratio is not cropped. I will be happy if those audio specs are true though.
The original discrete audio was on the overseas DVD release from Fox. Comparing that to the DD2.0 featured on the Anchor Bay DVD, the difference was night and day.
