My Carpenter collection will be almost complete with this release !

I think some of you guys are over estimating how popular this movie is. This will not be a hard title to get on release day (nor do I think it will even sell out).

Seems it should've just been a $7-10 Mill Creek or Image release. I thought the movie was ok and probably would've picked it up, but hell no for $35!

It's twilight time, people buy it for the sake of buying it.

Past history says this will sell out before its release date.

Probably right, never underestimate the mindset of scalpers!

Ok, sorry for my ignorance but I've never ordered a TT release before (I've just read people complaining about them haha). I have some questions, if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. 1.) Do they announce when the pre-order will go live? 2.) Will I need to constantly refresh a pre-order page and be ready to pull the trigger? 3.) Is there anything special about the ordering process that differs from Amazon or Best Buy? Thanks in advance!

Love the flick and Sheryl Lee is super sexy in it. Plus James Woods is a bad ass in the film. Day one.

I can understand not liking a few Carpenter films, but Prince of Darkness???

Either way I'll be getting this. Although the title in the announcement that really caught my eye was 10 to Midnight

What can I say? I found it boring as sin.

Maggot · 06-06-2015, 06:11 PM

Bloody(pun intended) Day One buy for me!

I just watched this last night without knowing an HD master had been made, and I really think the movie is horrendous. I thought that ten years ago and nothing's changed. So for obvious reasons, I hate that this announcement is even making me consider getting a Blu-ray of it.

I must be some sort of masochist because I sometimes like having bad movies on BD, and this way I could see the bare boobies much clearer.

Vampires is one of my favorite Carpenter movies, especially from the later half of his career. Been longing for a Blu-ray, but I always clinch when I see "Twilight Time" next to a title I'd like to have.

The french release is very good imo. Very good PQ and the cut is not even noticable

The colour is wrong and it's cut..

Uncut > cut.

Cut is cut. It doesn't matter if it's 10 minutes or half a second. Cut = useless.

HotRats · 06-06-2015, 09:17 PM

I have the French one but as long as it's uncut and colour corrected I'll buy it.
