The Strangers (2008) (Collector's Edition)

[ROSS.T.G.]

I really want to buy this but I’m thinking we may get a 4K down the road hopefully with the 2nd. Ahhh what to do...

[GasmaskAvenger]

I'll be checking some stores tomorrow to see if they're carrying this, as the sequel will be hitting theaters this Friday.

If not...oh well. I'll order it when the price goes down a little.

The best price at the moment in a B&M store.

Bullmoose shipped my copy today.

^ There's a detailed comparison on movie-censorship.com. Also, both versions were on the previous blu-ray release from Universal.

Here's hoping Scream doesn't botch the Unrated Version like they did with Drag Me to Hell, which, in case none of you know, misses two of the Unrated differences in the Unrated Version included on the disc, and instead, just features the Theatrical Version changes.

Not an apocalypse or anything, but a mind-boggling error nonetheless. Contacted them, but I don't expect a response.

Does the non scream release have the proper drag me to hell unrated version?

Strangers is a good film, creepy imo. I'm on the fence because I hate DDing, but the extras look good. I really wish these CEs did more than just add some extras and do a new scan or something. At the prices it really makes me mad they don't upgrade the video. Gah...

Target website says this isn’t even available for shipping (as of the time I’m posting this, 4 a.m) I’ll check again in a few hours

I ordered this after reading the review, but after comparing screenshots between this and the old release on this website does anyone else feel like the picture quality looks worse? I understand there is compression and all, but the shout transfer looks washed out and the black levels look really bad. Is that how this new disc actually looks? If so I may just return this stick with the old one, even with the new special features and the BD-50s. Anyone actually watched the Scream Factory disc yet?

[oubukibun]

I know no one will care save for me, but just letting y'all know, the Blu-ray is missing the full theatrical trailer (which is available in decent HD quality on YouTube, so no big). They've only included the awesome teaser. Usually they're pretty good about promotional material, but this isn't the first time this has happened (they also didn't include one of the trailers for The Shadow). Also, the TV spots are ripped straight from YouTube it seems as they are nigh unwatchable (similar to how they ripped the Drag Me to Hell trailer from a streaming version also on YouTube).

I don't say this to crap on Scream or anything, just for edification's sake. Checking now to make sure the Theatrical and Unrated cuts are intact!

Is this sold in any stores?

Give it a few weeks and it'll pop up at Best Buy. I've noticed Scream Factory titles tend to arrive in store a month after the initial release.

[oubukibun]

Can confirm the Theatrical/Unrated cuts are intact, so that's good!

How does it look mine came today but haven’t watched it yet

[oubukibun]

It looked great to me, but then again, having never owned the original Universal release, I can do no proper comparison. Blacks seem a little on the brown side, but that could just be because the film has been filtered to feel like the old-school '70s horror flicks it takes so much from, that nice warm glow around the edges.

Lovely grain and colors, though.

Should have shopped around on this one. Usually the preorder savings guarantee on Amazon works out and I pay around $20 for new releases, but this one cost me $29. I guess the lowest it went was the $25.70 and somehow $4 got tacked on for tax.

[Zillamon51]

I watched the MGM Blu last night. If the SF had dipped below $20, I would have bit. But I can't afford to upgrade titles that I already have perfectly good BDs of. Plus, snafus like Drag Me to Hell make preordering a crapshoot. And ripping content from YouTube, instead of getting it from the studio, as someone pointed out? That's just sad.

Went ahead and ordered
