Awesome, I love this movie.

Ill_Be_Back · 08-23-2016, 12:29 PM

Already own the US release, it depends on extras. Never heard of Powerhouse films.

Marv Inc. · 08-23-2016, 12:30 PM

They have made a deal with Sony UK and have a couple more titles coming....

They're a new label. There's a forum thread on them here.

It looks like they're adding special features for some of them. Based on the others, though, I'm guessing we're not going to see anything earth-shaking here? That old blu-ray is barebones and heavily compressed IIRC, so maybe that alone will make it worth it, but this sounds like a movie that would be prime for a full Scream Factory or Arrow kind of job with alternate footage and info about the decisions made behind the scenes. Ah well.

Dickieduvet · 08-23-2016, 03:19 PM

Already have the US & Aussie editions, will buy again if there are extras!

Kamelot121 · 08-23-2016, 03:29 PM

Thought you were randomly wishing yourself happy birthday on here..... haha

donthitpause · 08-23-2016, 09:54 PM

Been holding off from grabbing the shitty Aussie Cinema Cult release for this for ages.

And it worked!

Thank you Blu-ray Jeebus!

cropsy · 08-24-2016, 08:18 AM

Does anybody know if any of the features announced for any of the other powerhouse releases are newly commissioned or are they just ports of already existing material?. Really hoping for at least a commentary track on this.

bailey1987 · 08-24-2016, 04:42 PM

I hope this is a 4K restoration and that the cut footage is reinstated. At the very least it would be great if it had all the footage that has been available on different prints in the past.

Thanks, amazing slate of releases. Already own the majority but would be willing to double dip for extras. Hoping for Fright Night and maybe Part II if they have it. Plenty of other catalogue titles too, so many to list...

One of the hosts of the very enjoyable podcast, The Hysteria Continues, mentioned that he had received a request to help put together some extras for the film. Don't expect too much, but they know their slasher flicks so he might do a video essay or appreciation.

Rockercub · 09-18-2016, 09:22 PM

A video essay would be really cool -- those are turning out to be some of my favorite extras. With the price drop, this one's a no-brainer for me.

Craig666 · 09-19-2016, 07:04 PM

So happy it's using the original poster art.

Hope they release When a Stranger Calls

Groovy. It'd be awesome if they were asked to provide a commentary. I recently watched Nail Gun Massacre with their commentary and it was a lot of fun.

Joseph here, from The Hysteria Continues... We ARE providing a commentary for this release; actually, we've already recorded and sent it off to the Powerhouse folks. Hope you enjoy it!

Marv Inc. · 10-30-2016, 09:19 AM

Nice. If they can record some new interviews and find the longer kill scenes it would be pretty loaded.
