976-evil (1988)

[dissention]

HOLY SHIT.

I'm almost as shocked that they're including the video version as I am that they're releasing it on Blu in the first place. Great news! This flick is worth it just for Sandy Dennis and her fish.

This is very exciting! I never thought this one would come to Blu.

I'd say it's almost guaranteed.

If this turns out to be a new line of Sony horror titles, I hope they do Night of the Living Dead '90 w/ correct color timing.

[MassiveMovieBuff]

No BD-R?! That's shocking and great news!

Hopefully this is the start of something good for Sony

Saw this a loooooooooong time ago but I remember liking it.

We can only hope. Great news.

First thing sony got right in a loooooooooong time .. Thank GOD!!

[risky1975]

What other horror titles are they sitting on

[The Snowy Owl]

Will be a very welcome addition to my horror section!

I'm certainly down with Sony self-releasing their older genre titles themselves, instead of licensing to Twilight Time (overpriced / limited), or Mill Creek (cheap, but barebones w/ poor specs).

As for this particular film, I don't recall being fond of it. But it's been a long while. I'm certainly willing to revisit, if the price is right.

I've never heard of the film, but a niche catalog title from Sony that isn't BD-R, I'd like to thank the god who made that happened. Either Sony is waking up or Robert Englund pulled the right strings, we'll see. If this does indeed start a new line, hopefully it will lead to a Blu-ray of Evil Dead Unrated, I know it's new, but so far only Japan has the unrated version on disc while everywhere else is digital, I have my fingers crossed.

This is awesome! It would be nice if they would go back and release some of the Choice Collection on regular BD's.

[MassiveMovieBuff]

This also looks good for Panic Room not getting a BD-R release.

Definitely, I've been fighting on buying Eight Crazy Nights because it's BD-R, if it gets a pressed Blu I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[Member-222782]

Wow, this is unreal. And they're using that retro cover for the artwork. Did hell freeze over?

[I KEEL YOU]

Man, those 80s horror titles must be selling like hotcakes for Sony to decide to release such a niche title themselves.

If they still have Blue Monkey with Steve Railsback, they need to cough it up.

[Member-222782]

Piranha II, anyone?

[Kreepy X]

I totally forgot this movie was even made lol. I mean I have seen it a ton of times but it just got buried in the back of my mind. This is super exciting!

And the unsung arthouse masterpiece that is Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (assuming Sony still owns it). Plus Candyman!

And that's not even mentioning pimped out individual re-releases of When a Stranger Calls and Happy Birthday to Me!

I'll be very excited if this becomes a line akin to Vestron!
