Magic

One of the most underrated horror films of all time is coming to Blu-ray on October 12th! Such a nice surprise since I didn't expect it to come out for years.

Nice!! This will be fun to watch in HD.

I hope Dark Sky Films can release some more horror titles like their Amicus set before Halloween.

**UPDATE it is per this site.

A young Anthony Hopkins, back before we expected him to play Crazy...

Been a long while since I last saw this one. Will definitely be picking it up. Another great catalog getting released. I wonder if that "discussion" can soon be put to rest.

PowellPressburger · 08-11-2010, 05:58 PM

The film also features a really good Jerry Goldsmith score. I own the CD which I think went OOP. I am hoping for lossless audio , but I am sure the film was recorded in mono and I can't remember what soundtrack was featured on the DVD release. Will have to check it at home.

McCrutchy · 08-11-2010, 07:53 PM

Never even heard of this film but it looks very interesting based solely on the cast/crew...will definitely see it!

This movie is definitely worth a blind-buy.

SymbioticFunction · 08-11-2010, 08:57 PM

I really like Magic. Hopkins is extraordinary in this film. Hope it is region friendly!

csdot · 08-11-2010, 08:58 PM

great, creepy, sadly underappreciated horror movie. cant wait to add it to my collection!

AaronSCH · 08-11-2010, 09:17 PM

First day purchase for me. The Dark Sky Films DVD has my hopes high for this Blu-ray release.

thebluemax · 08-11-2010, 09:21 PM

Love this movie, Hopkins is superb and so is Jerry Goldsmith's score-Ordered!

miller_time22 · 08-12-2010, 01:59 AM

I've never seen this, but always wanted to. I may have to blind buy this, or at least put it on the ol' Christmas list.

deadhatetheliving · 08-12-2010, 07:51 AM

I really surprised by how many people like this movie. I thought it was one of those forgotten gems from the '70s.
Hope Dark Sky releases the Amicus movies and Trilogy of Terror.

"One day I'll scream...There's bodies in Lake Melody!"

Day 1.

I knew I forgot one from Dark Sky i wanted on Blu Trilogy of Terror would be a great release! Esp with the DVD extras.

Dark Sky does good work.

I'm another one who was creeped out when I saw this in the theater in 1978. But I haven't seen it since, so I'll give it a rent first to see if it still holds up well after 32 years. And does anyone else think the picture of Hopkins on the Blu-ray cover doesn't quite look like him? When I first saw the miniature version on the Upcoming Releases page, I thought it was Viggo Mortensen!

Dickieduvet · 09-28-2010, 10:31 PM

2 weeks to go, Hopefully a review will pop up soon.
