Description
“THERE’S A NEW REASON TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK.

A sci-fi/horror sleeper hit that birthed a franchise and launched the career of a new action movie icon, Pitch Black holds its own today as a nerve-shredding creature-feature in which the monsters outside finally meet their match against a monster within.

When an intergalactic transport ship crashes on a remote desert planet with no sign of help on the horizon, the survivors, led by Fry (Radha Mitchell), band together to find a way back home. Among the passengers is Riddick (Vin Diesel), a convicted murderer being transported by marshal Johns (Cole Hauser) – and now freed of his chains and on the loose. But as a solar eclipse plunges the planet into total darkness, a threat even worse than Riddick reveals itself, and the last humans standing may have to form an uneasy truce with the cunning fugitive (whose eyes have been surgically altered to see in the dark) to last the long night.

Boasting crackerjack direction and a whip-smart script by David Twohy, as well as a star-making performance by Diesel, Riddick’s first outing is freshly unleashed in an illuminating, brand new 4K restoration, with hours of exclusive bonus content.

Day one!

[KRW1]

An unexpected surprise but a pleasant one. Day one.

[levcore]

I'd rather Chronicles of Riddick but hey.

[pinballmaster]

I completely forgot about this movie. I really enjoyed it, but the DVD quality was pretty bad. I'm excited about this.

[Scottishguy]

First Arrow UHD. First Arrow UHD cover to reverse

[PissedOffPeoN]

Surprised they didn't include both in 4k .

[hoejunter]

Pre-ordered and paid for

[brainofj72]

Gonna fight my dumb urge to immediately preorder from Diabolik so I can see what prices look like elsewhere first. But obviously these are both Day 1s.

[Eschenpod]

Pre-ordered.

Not a fan of having the same rubbish artwork underneath just in a "day" variant, would have much preferred the OG art as Arrow usually do. Or make the limited edition slip the OG art and keep the inner cover as it is. Very odd.

I keep forgetting twitter used to have square avatars and 140 characters. Seems like a long time ago now.

[BluProofie]

Would this be a risky blind buy? I’d like to support Arrow doing UHDs.

[Rusty100]

Oh damn. The Thing next please.
Arrow releasing UHDs is going to start emptying my wallet pretty quickly.

No. It's a terrific sci-fi/action/horror flick. I haven't seen Pitch Black in years, but it held up to many viewings for me theatrically, on DVD, and on HD DVD.

Not having the OG art is going to irk me especially when all of the other Arrow editions I own come with it.

Can you imagine the environmentalists on here reacting to that. Never forget those toxic slips
