Instantly preordered this and Scanners 4K. Awesome news, and glad it's from Second Sight.

[Matt89]

Will definitely be picking up both this and Scanners. Amazing announcement.

[Jorvic]

Saw this listed on their site a little while earlier and did a double take.

Instant pre-order and a much-needed upgrade from my Blu-ray.

The Brood!

[DaylightsEnd]

I'm not a fan of any of the old blu ray releases for Scanners or The Brood. This announcement is a fantastic development, and is long overdue. Both films constitute top-shelf vintage body horror from one of the very few true masters. It's all the better that SS beat CC to the announcement.

In the immortal words of Hannibal Smith, "I love it when a plan comes together..."

Hello, I don't like this film and want to come in here to ruin all your guys' excitement by arguing that you're all wrong.

That's fine so long as you still buy the 4k release and eventually post more of your splendid screen cap comparisons

You're allowed to brood in a thread for The Brood.

[Rollo Tomassi]

Already pre-ordered the non-tat edition! Very exciting news and arriving together with a 4K release of Scanners! Good times!

[DR Herbert West]

I love the art on this one.

Something about the art has an unsettling "Wizard of Oz Gone Terribly Wrong" feeling to it....

respect the effort not just on art for the outer case but also the cards, digi and booklet

[KhangPham2006]

FIM confirmed

[Nitroes]

Ordered from HMV.

I do like that front artwork on the slipbox but the rest is totally meh.

Loads of great stuff on Google they could of used.



OK, maybe not loads

[Mariah007]

I was not expecting 2 second sight releases at once, I like em both but my wallet doesn't

[RFK]

Ordered

[cheez avenger]

I usually skip the chunky box sets but I'm treating myself with this one and the one for Scanners.
