Could be interested in this.

MifuneFan · 12-24-2013, 07:01 PM

One of my favorite horror movies. Looking forward to seeing the design.

oberth127 · 12-24-2013, 09:05 PM

Depending on the artwork I may get this.

I guess it all has to do with the person. But to me "solid" refers to mediocre and/or so-so.

Piollo · 12-25-2013, 05:08 PM

Solid film, will be getting this for sure.

Jim Morrison · 12-25-2013, 06:26 PM

A very good (solid) film that's at the higher end of tier 2 horror, but not in the same league as, say, Alien, The Exorcist, Halloween, The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatchers..etc (imo).

Might pick up the SB if it's a cracker and the price is right.

Visionist · 12-25-2013, 08:31 PM

I shouldn't have bought the amaray! Then again that applies to almost any film now that Zavvi have caught the SB bug...

Leonidas King · 12-27-2013, 09:01 PM

Love the front cover they went with

Its under Fox, what are the chances of it being Region Free?

Kakihara · 12-28-2013, 02:31 AM

So since the release date is April 14th, can I afford to wait a month after to snag it at a lower price? Or would it likely sell out by then? Oh does zavvi charge shipping per item to the U.S or per order? I think I may need to start ordering multiple titles if the shipping is per order.

Yeah no shit. But those are not modern horror films like The Descent from 2005.

welshgeeza · 12-27-2013, 10:52 AM

Not seen this so it will be a blind buy but only heard good things about it and the artwork looks top draw

Cortiz · 12-27-2013, 12:10 PM

According to the Amazon page, this will be a Fox release. Does anyone knows what Fox policy is in regards to region locking? I'm hoping this will be region free as I don't have a multi region player.

GreatGreg · 12-27-2013, 12:51 PM

One of the best poster art for a movie ever!

This was a blind buy for me years ago and as a horror fan I was very impressed! Just don't go into it with any expectations.

Its very good indeed. Especially when you have a bunch of women watching it with you. It is horrifying before the 2nd half starts, which is even more horrifying.

Do not touch the sequel/s with a barge pole though, they are utter crap.

Just so you Americans know, the ending will be different from what you are used to. I watched this in America first time around and when I watched it in the UK it was very slightly different in a way that changed the whole outcome.

rickah88 · 12-27-2013, 02:26 PM

Looks pretty nice! I might just gamble a bit and see if I can snag this on sale, down the road.

Thank you for the update Snooloui!
