Errata: there are some archival interviews with Slater and Rider but nothing new and after watching the supplements in their entirety I’m OK with that. It’s a great release overall. The color grading is top shelf.
What about the picture quality????
PQ is solid but not spectacular. And the DP knows how to lens a film.
Awesome mate.👍🤩
Awesome stuff mate.👍🤩
Awesome collection there mate.👍🤩
Thanks for the kind note! It’s taken me awhile to build this collection but it’s been a labor of love and is now serving as a fun aesthetic anchor to our home.
Doh! I meant Elizabeth McGovern. Mea culpa! First and single take, warts and all. 🤪
Nice review! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this movie. It is definitely a surreal nightmare for sure - beautifully executed by Orson Welles and his crew and the acting of Anthony Perkins.
Some of the shots were just perfect. That huge warehouse of office workers was a Kafkaesque hellscape.
Errata: Pope did NOT lens Evil Dead Ii. That film’s DP was Peter Deming.
Good choice on the b&w filter!
Just had to given the source! 😎
I will never watch that movie again because the lead actor in it is actually promoting the very thing the movie is about.
I get it and feel the same way about Joker but I actually think Schumacher showed a surprisingly deft touch here. IMHO he depicted D-Fens as a really messed up character that was in fact the bad guy, despite his protestations at being labeled as such. D-Fens used his “not economically viable” argument to cover the deeper issues at play. It’s a film that I’ve learned to appreciate more as time goes on. I often think about how poorly Unhinged depicted a similar type of character despite Russel Crowe doing all he could in that part. Douglas was incredibly skillful in FD - it might be one of his best acting jobs to date. Still, I understand and respect your opinion.
Keep doing the Lord's work 🙏💪
Random question - does the case have anything printed on the spine? It's odd that all the text information for this is only on the slipcover ... was wondering if the spine was the same way
You are correct. The DVD case has no info apart from the title on the spine. The sleeve is reversible tho only has the pig on the front and a still photo from the film on the back and another still photo from the film on the back of the sleeve. Only the slipcase has the film credit deets, a short description of the film, and a listing of the sole special feature (the Greenaway documentary)
One hundred percent. I'm 47 years old, and had never seen this movie, until I bought the Kino 4k scan on blu-ray. This movie is a must see for It's uniqueness of the 90's thriller/noir style - gritty, and intelligent.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Where did you buy this? Can’t find it at Target, Walmart or Amazon. Please help.
Thankfully I pre-ordered at Amazon over 2 months ago. I’m sure there will be another pressing of this disc tho as it appears to be selling like hotcakes.
@@VFRZenThank you! Having a hard time finding True Lies too….
@@kp4588I suspect that True Lies 4K will be on sale soon. The transfer has been universally panned but I’m sure it’s still better than the crummy DVD.
Finally a 4k release!
Here here!!!
Thanks but you didn't actually describe the picture quality.
PQ is solid. Grain intact. AQ is 💯.
@@VFRZen Awesome! Cheers
Awesome movie !
Yes indeed! Session 9 was A24 scary before A24 was even a thing. And that locale was simply perfect.
Wait so they made a whole new disk, when the original pressing had both movies in one disk? Have you compared the old release or the trilogy presentation, to the disk?
I haven’t seen the combo disc but I did watch the original flick on VHS. I’m not sure this Steelbook release is based on any OCN scan but the AQ and PQ look solid and certainly sufficient for a Grindhouse flick. I poked around BluRay.com and High Def Digest and it appears to be the same 2k scan found on the combo release but on a single BD50 disc.
I just ordered my second copy today (I like to double-tip with some physical media). Anyway great films and this VS release is beautiful. Love the hi-def transfer and finally seeing this classic film in it's first Uncut version👍👍I have nothing more better to say about this twisted flick.
Agree completely. Bright + Elfman + Kiefer + Reese = cinematic alchemy
I will never forget this movie, i was 8 when I watched this and was absolutly mesmerized by the whole atmosphere.
Tobe Hooper had skills. For a TV production it was simply remarkable. As a 3+ hr feature film it’s still very good.
@@VFRZen agree, I can only hope the new remake is going to be like this old one :)
And there are two supplements on this release. The first is an excellent conversation with Sayles and the second is a great interview with the cinematographer.
One of my top 10 films! Amazing story telling with great performances.
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you for your excellent video. I also absolutely love this film and was unaware of this new release which I will certainly acquire. John Sayles is an amazing talent which is obvious once you've seen this film. What an amazing story and cast (I developed a bit of a crush on Elizabeth Pena after seeing this. It's heartbreaking she's no longer with us.). I also saw this in the theater when it was released and maybe only one other time on video. I am long overdue in seeing it again. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Please keep up the great work! 😊
Thanks for the kind words 👍🏻 And Sayles is a beast of a filmmaker that never seems to garner the same attention or respect that peers like Spike Lee, Jim Jarmusch, and Steven Soderbergh so often get. He most definitely deserves to be mentioned with them and is arguably perhaps even the best of the bunch.
I want to get this movie but before i buy it i wonder was the difference between the 4k and bluray versions?
I have not seen the BluRay release but according to BluRay.com this 4K disc is the way to go. It’s also got about an hour of new supplements-including new interviews with Chazz and De Niro. I would say if you don’t already own it or you only have the standard def DVD then the 4k is the way to go. If you already own the earlier BD disc and are happy with it then you might not need to upgrade. I didn’t own a physical release of this film so it was an easy choice for me since I absolutely love the flick.
I absolutely love this movie, I saw it theatrically when I was a kid because “Superman” was in it….the plot twist melted my brain 😂👍
Agreed! It was fascinating to see Chris playing a completely different (and villainous) character as compared to Supes/Clark Kent.
Errata: Time Bandits was released in 1981
Very COOL
Well said! By the way the Whitney movie was actually called The Bodyguard
Thanks! And you are correct! A Mandela effect, perhaps! 🤪
These titles are easy to mix up, another one I see a lot is Shop Around the Corner being called Little Shop Around the Corner. It’s a great Jimmy Stewart Christmas movie btw, if you want to review it.
Thanks for the suggestion! Will put it on my watchlist!
Good video, actually it was Sony that did the 4K transfer so don't be surprised If they release their own 4K of The Blob.
Interesting - thx for the additional intel. I suspect at least some of Scream Factory’s supplements will likely remain exclusively on the SF disk.
The thing, the fly and the blob are my trifecta of 80s horror flicks. All 3 have incredible ceeature effects and are remakes that stand tall on their own.
The holy triumvirate of 80s practical effects horror films. 👍🏻👍🏻
Salem's lot 1979 miniseries has a runtime of 3 hrs and 3 mins 3 seconds. It 1990 miniseries has a runtime of 3 hrs 7 mins 25 seconds. The stand 1994 miniseries has a runtime of 5 hrs 58 mins 43 seconds. Rose Red 2001 miniseries has a runtime of 4 hrs 14 mins 5 seconds.

c'est le meilleur film de policier de tous les temps selon moi.
Definitely in the top tier
I like the choice of filming in black and white.
4k ultra hd is fantastic !
Its def one of the best examples of the format's overall superiority PQ/QA-wise
Wang Chung and Friedkin 😮
They made some PB&J-like alchemy 👍🏻
What’s the comment on Wang Chung?
errata: “Carl” Franklin is the director.
As a late 80's kid who has been watching horror movies since I was in the womb, I loved this movie. I have never seen Twin Peaks (I know, I know, it's on my to-do list!) but I also loved the movie Silver Bullet, which "Father" was equally as menacingly wonderful in.
Everett was fantastic in Silver Bullet (as was that flick). Twin Peaks is sublime but season 2 is uneven af but thankfully sticks the landing by the season finale. The other seasons as well as the prequel movie are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Nothing for me 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴bye friend 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
I loved that movie when i was young... Good times 🥬🫛🫑🥒🥦💚✅

Super movie... Luc besson jean reno Natalie Portman amazing😁😆😅😂🤣😭
I always cry when i see that movie
Its the best jimcarrey movie of all time.
Correction: this flick’s runtime is ~1 hr 45 minutes. I still think they could’ve slipped in a few more world building scenes at the beginning.
