If you can get to an HMV, it's in their 2 for £13 offer and should be in the World Cinema section. I got a copy a few weeks back.

The film will get its first release in France this month, apparently from a new 4K master:



Hopefully, this new master will get an English-friendly release soon.

There are several sellers on ebay indicating a release of August 18, 2025 for this... and it is also back on the Rarewaves site for pre-order, after being long OOP.

Anyone know if this is just a re-issue of the exact same release? Or maybe an upgraded version with better encode?

New EAN 5060485803249


Old EAN: 5060485803119

Looks to have the same text as the previous release about remastering but sans the DVD. New release not appearing yet https://cultfilms.co.uk/?s=deadly&post_type=product

I have the old release and thought it looked very nice. Criminal the new French disc doesn't have any sort of subtitles at all https://www.dvdfr.com/dvd/f168909-ete-meurtrier.html

Great little thriller.

The description on Amazon for the August re-release says this:

New 2K sourced elements restored 16/9 version
New & improved English subtitles
Imdb 7.2 based on 56,000 users
1st time on Bluray (previously DVD Dual Edition)

So it's a new master?

I'm confused

According to DVDFr, the 2021 French blu-ray used a 4K master, so if all the specs are correct the UK one is a different (lesser?) master.

this must be the 10th release in the UK because they had changed the name of the lable 2 times till they became cult films and it always seems to be the same special features.
