Classic movie but not worth €62 I will wait until its released in a more mainstream edition!
 
Standard pre-orders will begin on 25th July 2022 (US)
Release date: 26th September 2022 (US)
UK release still TBC.

 
Standard Edition up for pre-order, to be released on 11th July 2023

Still no news on the UK getting the Arrow release but it is showing at the Forbidden Worlds Film Festival in Bristol next month so may still be on the cards at some point.
 
Paid £25 for it as selling worldwide on amazon now & promoting it....... TBH its garbage would not waste your money!

Transfer is most of the time DVD quality! Whatever the source whatever the issues they failed miserably it looks terrible.

Loads of splodgy weird grain which totally masks actors face details in a few shots. This is one of the few times it could have done with more DNR instead of none....

Its also the extended version & you do not get a choice which one you watch so its forced on you with the ridiculous its all a dream anyway ending...would have been nice to have seamless branching to choose instead of someone deciding for you.

They should have made a BD instead it did not need HDR or 4K there is not enough detail or quality so all this release does is showcase how poorly the finished transfer is...if this is a restoration I would hate to see the BEFORE results!
