More info soon

Lionsgate are releasing it I see, it will likely be the same transfer the US got unfortunately.

It's the same R-rated version at any rate:

Artwork up on Amazon:



I hope Lionsgate are above simply copy-pasting their old US releases of this and American Psycho.

Atrocious cover art.

[CouncilSpectre]

Who actually designs these things? It's beyond me how anyone can sit there and in all honesty think to themselves "Yeah, looking good...." - absolute muppets.

Will not have time to watch tonight but have it in front of me now...

The link posted above to the bbfc stated feature of 93 mins.... listed on back cover as 97 minutes so not sure which to trust until seen...

No extras...(as far as the back cover says but hey??)

[TJ Doc]

That'll most likely be the DVD's PAL runtime listed on the BBFC's site, so 97 on the case sounds about right.

But do let us know how the transfer looks when you get a chance.

[Markgway]

The international version runs about 105m uncut @ 24fps.

[kurtz05]

It is the r rated cut. Actual runtime was indeed 97 minutes.

After some of the reviews I've read of other blu versions I wasnt expecting much but I have to say I liked the visuals.Some scenes looked like there may have been some DNR whereas others had enough evident grain so not sure about that ever present question.
May be slight contrast boosting.
Still lots of white marks/flecks but I do not mind that as it keeps that "old video" feel about it

DTS MASTER AUDIO 5.1 , Animated menu (not great though) and no extras as previously mentioned (missed opportunity).

[BLUCanadian]

can someone please provide region coding info?
Thanks

Is the Zavvi steelbook same version as this? The reason I ask is that blu-ray.com lists no Subtitles for this version, but English subs on the Zavvi version, just wanted to confirm, thanks.

[dvdspice]

Could anyone with the Zavvi steelbook please confirm if it has English subtitles/captions? Cheers.

I ordered it 2 days ago.
I can't find any information about that. Will return when it arrives.

[CouncilSpectre]

It's got English HoH subs

I'd like to know if this version has less DNR than the US copy. Caps-a-holic is showing the German blu (splendid) having less DNR, and needed to know if the new Lionsgate UK version is based on the older US blu or the lesser DNR German. BD-50 must account for something?

The UK BD is better than both US and DE. No noticeable DNR and compression is much better.

Here's a screenshot from the UK BD. I matched it to the first screenshot from caps-a-holic:

Agreed, but I'm fed up buying the US theatrical version.

Lionsgate need to release the director's cut as a special edition.

Couldn't agree more.
