near the end which is a great bit of gore.

I really like this film, but the new cover is hideous. I'll stick with the Scream Blu-ray regardless.

its got a reversible cover

Pretty much, there's a few bits and pieces along the way. The big transformation scene goes on for ages and, well, this film should hold the title for most abuse of bladder FX ever.

Just wanted to update this: Arrow's upcoming release will be uncut. Notice was posted on bbfc site.

Great news, Couldn't see it running into any problems now anyway. It just got caught up in furore of the nasties!

Hoping Arrow get these in early in the next week or so and start sending them out. Paid for mine via their shop last month.

[Marv Inc.]

Soon.....

[Dickieduvet]

See this has been put back a week to the 12th May.....

Really looking forward to this and Sisters

Yes and it's a long, mostly uneventful wait till then. I really wanted to like this as I like horror films from that period, but when I finally saw it I found it rather dull.

[Marv Inc.]

I did too and you dont really see the monster properly. I'am getting this more for the extras than the film.

Arrow knocks it out of the park again

[Marv Inc.]

Looks great. Arrow do it again.

[Dickieduvet]

Arrived this morning and couldn't resist holding off until tonight so had a quick looky while the wee ones were having a nap.

It really does look impressive, extras look interesting too.

So glad I held off the US import. Again, this horror geek is more than happy with what Arrow has delivered

[Marv Inc.]

Thats great. Mine hopefullly be hear tuesday/wednesday.

[Marv Inc.]

Got mine today. I try to watch later.

[Dickieduvet]

Got to watch it properly last night and all the extras, impressive stuff. Was hoping Arrow might be having a stab at Evilspeak but this got shot down when I asked on Fb today.

[nekromantik]

Mine was dispatched over the weekend. Should have it next two days.
