The Keep (1983) 4K UHD coming from Imprint

[ste71]

I'm fine with the VS - unless there is a rebuild of the film I'm good.

I'm glad the doc is finally seeing the light of day must be nearly 10 years or more since I backed it.

Mann is aware of the doc but declined to take part.

I hear he chased the documentarians off his lawn with a garden rake.

Jokes aside, looks like this release will smoke the paltry-by-comparison VS edition. Wouldn't it be funny if Imprint also has access to a longer cut of the film? Needless to say, I will be buying this if only for that doc.

I cant stand Vinegar syndrome they give me some serious bootleg vibes

My "wow" moment was immediately eclipsed by a crushing "Aw crap, now I gotta buy it again" funk. Such exquisite timing. But with that doc included I have no choice in the matter. Free will has officially left the building on this one, even with the wallet already on life support from all the other great 2025 announcements among the labels.

You're a newbie 'round these parts. Hang around a while longer - you'll realize they're not con artists. Not by a long shot

I may not favor most of their weird ass crap but they're far from bootleg. I'm not sure how they started but they're not that now, if they ever were.

Their care for film restoration is a big thing. For me, it's their big appeal. To see people care about restoring and keeping film history there for the future. Their focus on more exploitative/horror/whatever cinema is their bread and butter. Add in their growth into international cinema. On the USA side, they're bringing in some damn fine Hong Kong films in. They're really getting all over into the Mexican cinema (El Santo!) side too.

Point being, they're not in any way bootleg.

They're rather amazing. Add in their venture into pornography too. I mean, if you're going to love film history... porn is part of that too. So my fascination w/ that side has just been guided well by their now Mélusine brand. Good on them, hahaha.

This is one movie I just might have to splurge on, in getting the ultra expensive collectors set. Can't wait until preorders are ready.

Already have the standard VS edition, but I’ll get the IMPRINT release for the documentary - and anything else that’s included.

The television material would be most welcome. If not, the footage should be found within the documentary.

With any luck, the Imprint version will have the new documentary housed on its own disc, the documentary disc will be extremely limited edition, it will come in a gigantic box, and will cost over $80.

There’s no way this isn’t exactly what’s happening. In fact, I would expect well higher than $80.

The doc will be on its own bd disc. Said disc will also be the disc that the backers of the doc from 2015 will be receiving.

Everyone adored the VS release when it came out but yet now people are getting rid of it because of a mediocre label like Imprint is releasing it?

People seriously have it out for US labels at this point...
