Fire in the Sky (1993)

[DR Herbert West]

In 1975, logger Travis Walton (D.B. Sweeney, Hear No Evil, Eight Men Out) and his co-workers encountered a UFO. His pals were able to flee — but Walton was not so lucky. Whisked aboard the strange craft, he was subjected to a painful, unearthly medical study. Fire In The Sky is the amazing tale of that ordeal ... and of the contempt and ridicule endured by Walton and his friends as they tried to convince others of this otherworldly experience.

James Garner, Robert Patrick, Craig Sheffer, Peter Berg, and Henry Thomas also star in this gripping and terrifying depiction of alien abduction that's based on a true story.

I was hoping for a UHD, but I'll take it. I was 11 when this released and caught it on TV not too long after and it scared the shit out of me. Now, I just find his story fascinating.

Agree!
The flashback abduction sequence that begins in his kitchen, when the maple syrup spills over has stayed with me since first seeing it as a kid.
To the point where if I ever accidentally spill or pour out too much maple syrup, I begin remembering that scene. The trauma that dude had was intense and his flashbacks were some of the most horrific moments I can recall seeing in any movie back then. But hey, no need to cry over spilt syrup, because if maple syrup doesn't animate that memory, then it's Super Troopers maple syrup chugging contest, so I think I have a pretty good grasp on my maple syrup triggers.

It's probably been over 15 years since I've seen this movie and I think it was just on cable in SD, so I'm interested in checking it out again. The story is fascinating, particularly the witness accounts and the hell they went through while he was abducted. It does have a really strong cast and the movie is definitely recommended for anyone who's fascinated with alien encounters/abductions and wants to see a uniquely horrifying account of it.
It definitely didn't inspire confidence in me to greet any aliens with open arms, that's for sure!

Some may find the vacuum bed scene horrifying or rather kinky

Already blew $30 on the Aussie import (which had an impressive array of extras), so I'm good. Nice that it's being released in the U.S., though.

[Maximux]

I've seen that movie several times on TV, great film! want the Bluray!!

I thought you loved that!

[Spooked]

They might have me with this one...

[storythecorgi]

Yay! I love this movie

[1924]

If it’s the same transfer then pass unless they license the extras from the overseas release

[MifuneFan]

Good news, Ballyhoo just tweeted about the release, and basically implied that their special features will be included with it. They're the ones that did the extras for the Imprint release.

[starsteam]

I wonder why they didn't go the CE route for this. Maybe because the extras are technically ports from another release?

[Spooked]

Well it's up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09W3X53Y1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I imported the Imprint release. Double dip if this is a superior transfer. If not, no sale.

[Ranger517]

I already own a copy that Imprint released, however I'm down to double dip on this one, even if it's the same disc. I love Fire in the Sky and though it's a slow moving film, it's worth sitting through till the final moments of the film that is pure nightmare fuel! The whole abduction scene is right up there with The Exorcist for me personally. And it's got Henry Thomas and Robert Patrick in it.

I know Shout isn't a 4K power house or anything but man, I really wish this was in 4K.
