Does anyone know if it is available on Blu-Ray here? I barley see the DVD in stores let alone a Blu-Ray, but know it is out in other country's. Any help would be great.

Don't know about a blu-ray release. Sorry. I've been curious about this too. I really want to see this movie. I've heard it's really good. If so, I'd like to buy it on blu eventually.

The US disc is region free...

Flaming Hobo · 06-12-2009, 07:42 AM

Hmm, i might just buy it from the US. Would be easier.

Zyclone · 06-14-2009, 12:30 PM

i have a german release of it on blu ray which im happy with but it would be more cheaper to get the US release via amazon.

The disc is Region B locked so will not play on standard blu ray players unless they are modified for region free

Furthermore I would urge caution on Shock/Cult Cinema releases. They are frequently just DVDs ported to BD. This disc has a Dolby Digital audio track and no subtitles. I avoid this company's products as I have always been bitterly disappointed with the inferior transfers and lack of English SDH

Considering this is the Australian subforum, the majority of users posting in here have region-B players, which is the standard here. Not that I'd buy the Cinema Cult version anyway, since I already have the US one, but you'd have be barking mad to go out of the way to import a Cinema Cult title outside of Australia unless there was absolutely no other option.

I avoid Shock/Cinema Cult because the print quality of the cover art looks poor in the first place, so maybe the contents are not on par.
Judging book by its cover.
