We did that last time twice NeonStreet. You think we should do it a third time? The big zombie head is going to look pretty cool sculpted emboss and Glow in the Dark for the new 4K.

No chance Cinema84. That was a one off thing with Magdalena only. If you wanna see how amazing its lookin check out the new Facebook live feed. Pretty certain this is going to be the best looking Dark Force slip by a mile. And very likely Dead Pit in 4K UHD is going to be the best looking release to date. Otherwise the Demon has promised to rip some heads off.

Hi Demon. Now that Dark Force will be releasing 4k UHD blu rays, can you give us an idea of how many do you plan to release later in 2022 or for the year 2023? I take it that any blu rays which have been previously mastered in 4k released by Dark Force will be potential future UHD titles or will there be any new titles that have not been previously released by Dark Force which will be UHDs?

Will the backside with Cheryl be Glow in the Dark too?





This really does look like the best slip ever.

The Dead Pit 4K listing does not mention subtitles. Is that confirmation that it will not included subtitles then?

[indravayu]

In for HUNDRA and DEAD PIT. Wish WEEKEND MURDERS was a single release (I already have the CR blu though).

[Member-222782]

Went in for all 4. Paypal's Pay-in-4 makes these purchases so much easier.

[Rayjg]

Did Bog/Mako Blu-ray sell out? Didn't see it on the site.

[Ruined]

Dave confirmed a few posts earlier that it would have subtitles.

Ordered DEAD PIT 4K and HUNDRA because I like to support Dave, but I’d love to know the answer to this as well. Will Dark Force UHDs have HDR?

[Sleazeaddict]

HDR for dead pit

DEAD PIT 4K: https://darkforcesuperstore.com/pre-...hd-dark-force/

Wait, so none of this is included?;

Commentary features co-writer/director Brett Leonard, co-writer/producer Gimel Everett, and actor Jeremy Slate.

Interview (10:55, SD) is an undated chat with co-writer/producer Gimel Everett (who passed away in 2011), exploring her entrance into filmmaking, offering to save the feature "Deadlock" with her partner, Brett Leonard, impressing the producer. Presented with a chance to make their own movie, Everett and Leonard wrote "The Dead Pit" in three weeks, and shot the picture in three weeks, speeding through the production process. With $350,000 for the budget, Gimel was forced to pull off a miracle, managing the troubles of a real psychiatric hospital used for the shoot, and the fatigue of unpaid extras and crew, who worked around the clock for Everett. Production struggles are recalled, and casting is celebrated, including the use of the interviewee's daughter for one gruesome kill. Everett also details her love of the genre.

Interview (12:32, SD) with actress Cheryl Lawson examines how she initially get the job on "The Dead Pit," knowing nothing about the movie after she booked the gig. Lawson shares memories of her zombie interactions and identifies performance choices, though more emphasis is put on her nudity and limited wardrobe, which grew smaller after every washing. Stunts are analyzed and co-stars are assessed, while the location is praised for its authentic eeriness. The interviewee shares her pride in a Joe Bob Briggs award for "The Dead Pit," also recalling time with director Brett Leonard and struggles with the picture's low budget.

Interview (21:07, SD) with director Brett Leonard reveals his position at a natural health food company when the opportunity came to support partner Gimel Everett, who was tasked to fix the action movie, "Deadlock." The hospital location is analyzed, helping to inspire Leonard as he pushed through the low-budget film. Casting is highlighted and production stories are shared, including the tale of his own cameo. Leonard discusses the success of "The Dead Pit" on home video, with the flashing lights cover helping rentals.

Interview (13:35, SD) with actor Jeremy Slate tracks his career at the time of "The Dead Pit," making a living in soap operas. Born with a love of horror, Slate was influential in the making of the picture, and he recalls his fondness for the psychiatric hospital, helping to set the mood. For the premiere of "The Dead Pit," Wes Craves was invited to see the feature by Slate, who also describes his role in Brett Leonard's "The Lawnmower Man," which was restored in the director's cut of the movie.

And a Theatrical Trailer (1:51, SD) is included.

So $32.99 for a barebones UHD with a SLIPCOVER with no BD disc included.

Dark Force is not making this an easy sale.

And, Hundra expressly states subtitles, whereas Dead Pit does not. I would really love something other than a social media thumbs-up to confirm this.
