£7 in Sainsbury's, or £4.99 in HMV.

Yup, seemingly they just repressed the 35th Anniversary disc from Anchor Bay rather than encode a new disc using the new 4K restoration. They reserved that exclusively for the UHD disc. That's why I returned my copy from HMV - I already own the Anchor Bay steelbook (OOP), so already have that disc.

Nice! Weird they didn't mention it anywhere if so. Lionsgate have somehow made a hash of this...fingers crossed StudioCanal do a better job with their upcoming four Carpenter releases.

I'm guessing it's the 35th Anniversary disc again, as Lionsgate likely did that to avoid paying any extra BBFC fees for submitting new extras. I could be wrong but that'd make the most sense.

The US release includes the 2007 disc though, as that was the standard catalogue release of the film.
