No surprises here, but most welcome.

[Spartan21]

Oh wow!! It will be mine! Day one for sure!

[dallywhitty]

Pissing, shitting, throwing up.

[ste71]

Preordered in a heartbeat!

[Braktastic]

And... ordered. Both sets. Finally remembered to use my credits from Phenomena and Tenebrae.

Wonder if that was what Geoff was trying not to tell us in another thread. Ordered Original Artwork Edition but Arrow will probably have reversible slipcover.

We already knew Videodrome was on its way, so I hope not. Daddy wants Showgirls!

[postmodel]

Hell f*cking yeah. While I still await an HD release of Spider, this f*cker typing this will eat up all the Cronenberg in 4K.

Day one!

[Kyle15]

Me RIGHT NOW ready to order that ORIGINAL ART BOX

[Sage00]

I’ve never seen this, but I’m expecting it’s the “standard” Cronenberg body horror. Is it worth picking up?

It's one of the worst films ever made. Completely irredeemably offensive and boring. The scene with the sex doll exploding made my aunt very mad and I haven't been allowed to watch it since. If you like murder porn and misery porn then it's for you.

[VIDEOgameDROME]

**** YES. Long live the new definition.

It's his best film.

[Spartan21]

Is the Blu-ray version included in this or is it only 4K UHD?

Just a 4K disc. Sometimes with these 4K only releases, Arrow also does an exclusive Steelbook release that also includes a BD, but that doesn't appear to be the case here, at least not yet.

If you like weird, thought-provoking, and imaginative body horror movies...this is the best one.
