Suspiria 4K UHD (2018)

[James Luckard]

Imprint is releasing Suspiria (2018) in a packed 3-disc special edition, and what will presumably be a totally English-friendly edition, unlike the German UHD which apparently had issues with subtitles and onscreen text:

Suspiria (2018) – Imprint Collection #356

Limited Edition 4K UHD & Blu-ray 3-Disc Hardbox with art cards including brand NEW Special Features – 1500 copies only!

Inspired by Dario Argento’s 1977 Italian film of the same name, director Luca Guadagnino (Challengers) takes on the classic story in a terrifying reinvention starring Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades Of Grey), Mia Goth (MaXXXine), Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass), and the legendary Tilda Swinton in three roles.

A darkness swirls at the centre of a world-renowned dance company: one that will engulf the troupe’s artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.

Featuring an incredible original score by Thom Yorke, the lead singer of Radiohead.

Sad that there are no deleted scenes included (and there are several that were filmed, some glimpsed in the trailer).

Do they releases standard editions as well, once the limited version sells out?

[RevolverOcelScott]

Awesome! Glad I never shelled out for the OOP wonky 4K.

Snyone know any coupon codes for ViaVision?

I've only bought a couple of their boxsets:
On the Beach - 2022
Jessica Lange - 2023
no standard editions of those yet

AUD$154.95 with shipping... yeah... no. I'll stick with the German one until Shout or a UK label puts it out.

It'll almost certainly be under $100 US at Diabolik. It'll be a decent option for American customers.

I seem to remember you said you're in Europe, so if it's more expensive there, hope you all get a local edition soon too.

I mean I'm pretty happy with the German 4K, the issues it has don't bother me too much, however I'd be willing to a upgrade to a more "proper" release, but definitely not at this price.

I also don't think what's being offered here is worth 100 bucks, but that's just my opinion.

The German UHD is OOP and goes for as much as $300 US, and there's nothing else on the horizon, especially nothing English-friendly, so I think this well sell out pretty quickly.

uk or us release soon ?

Oh no doubt, but when you look at what Umbrella did with the Mario set (seriously, that thing is worth it for the 480 page making-of book alone), charging AUD$110 for a hardbox and some art cards is kinda taking the piss.

But as you said, it's a very in-demand title with no other release in sight, so can't fault them for taking advantage of willing collectors.

I'm one of them. I hadn't joined the 4K/UHD world when Suspiria came out in Germany, so I missed that one. I'll be buying this one.

I'll also be picking this up. I bought the regular Blu-ray releases from Australia and Germany but my US-based Panasonic 820 can't play either one. Never picked up the US release and now it's OOP. So it'll be nice to actually watch the film

[dtower182]

Already have the UK Bluray from Mubi but I am quite tempted by this.

Did you try the “top menu trick” to see if your 820 will play them? It works on most region B discs.

[dickdarlington]

With this now being a MGM title, I have a feeling we’ll see a U.S. release sooner rather than later.

Oh I've tried every trick I could find. I own many, many imported discs and these are two of the very few region-locked ones which I haven't figured out how to play. If it's even possible on a Region A 820. I know some discs are unplayable due to how they're region-locked so I might be SOL with those.

If you (or anyone else) know of other ways to load region-locked discs on an 820, please let me know

I thought it was Lionsgate (I know nothing, just recalling)? I'm grabbing this one only because I don't want to risk missing out again.

Flag it as “DOES NOT WORK” in the master thread: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=375054

If Top Menu OR Stop > 1 > OK > Top Menu doesn’t work, you’re SOL. The Panasonic can bypass region locking on most discs, but not all.

Lionsgate was acting as home video distributor for Amazon Studios titles. That has now lapsed.

It’s now Amazon MGM Studios. Warner is the primary home video distributor for new releases and catalog titles are still being licensed out to boutiques.
