Hunt for the Wilderpeople

[Davidian]

Two rebels. One million hectares of untamed wilderness. The hunt is on!

The story of misfit kid Ricky and his grumpy foster uncle Hec. The unlikely duo evade child services and the law by going bush...

Raised on hip-hop and foster care, defiant city kid Ricky gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside. He quickly finds himself at home with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec, and dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush. As a national manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family.

Good to see a decent selection of extras on there, unlike the vanilla edition of What We Do In The Shadows (even the SE of that was a joke due to the extras being on a DVD disc).

after 95 reviews it is considered 100 percent fresh on RT. pretty good achievement.

Yeah it was crazy to hear on the radio, that Wilderpeople is in the Top 100 list. Such an incredible feat.

*UK perspective*
After ordering Road Games from JB, I saw WowHD were offering it for much less, but Wilderpeople is the other way round.
I don't often order from either; do their prices usually fluctuate?

[Sky_Captain]

WowHD's prices fluctuate wildly and JB run loads of money off promos, so I'd bide your time. I'm doing the same.

Mightyape.co.nz has the better poster image as their cover;



Hope they use it and not the current one floating around..

[Darth Marcus]

I'm interested to see if this is Region Free. If so, I'll definitely be importing.

[L-Rouge]

Seems to be Region 'B' locked according to this website

NZ got the better cover though in my opinion.

I took a quick look at the transfer last night. I intend to watch it tomorrow night.

Everything looks great on the transfer. As good as I saw at the cinema. This is actually a good looking film.

[L-Rouge]

that is good to read, Badas. one thing that surprised me about the film was it's soundtrack, the music was just wonderful for me, and some good effects in there as well.

NZ prices for blu-ray are more conservative now, we used to get a new release special for 28 dollars I was quite sure at some points. But the Warehouse has no competition to bat with

Wanted to pick it up this week, but I bought Opeth tickets...so I'll have to wait..still Opeth

I find JB is cheaper than the Warehouse for new releases but The Warehouse is cheaper for older releases.
