@FuriousMachine Probably a combo of the things you mentioned.

I just had a look on Amazon and the only version they have for Seven is the 4k collectors edition, which is out of stock. I thought there was a standard 4k release too?

@JohnnyShoulder As did I... maybe it releases later? The store I use has one listed as "coming", with no date, but these guys have a tendency to speculate on releases, so I won't put too much stock in that one. I'll let you know if I hear anything elsewhere

@FuriousMachine Found that there are 4K Digi Pak and Steelbook editions available in the UK, just not on Amazon. One of the outlets has a store near by, so will check that out in the week.

I bought my first 4K steelbook the other day with The Creator. I really enjoyed it when I saw it at the cinema and it was only a couple of quid more than the standard version.

@JohnnyShoulder Cool, I also really enjoyed the movie on the big screen, so when the steelbook came out I had it on pre-order. Have yet to crack the cellophane on it, though. Might be high time for a rewatch and check out the disc and features. Have you tried it yet?

@FuriousMachine No not yet. I'm at my parents this weekend annd I was gonna bring it to watch as they have a new OLED tv. But it has just dropped onto Prime, and I'd prefer to watch with my sound system, has they only have a very old sound bar.

@FuriousMachine Also I didn't see Seven at my local store, but they did have a 2 for £30 on 4K's, so I got The Crow (OG) and The Truman Show. I almost got The Silence of The Lambs, which is the first time I've seen it available in this country.

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, that movie definitely benefits from a good sound system Let me know what you think of the disc if you beat me to it?
Shame about Seven, but I believe stocks will replenish, as there is nothing to indicate that it is a limited release (excepting the steelbook/collector's ed., of course). The Crow is another disc on my shelf I haven't gotten around to yet, but I hear the quality is very good. Haven't seen The Truman Show since I saw it in the cinema back when it came out. I seem to remember liking it quite a bit. Will have to check it out again one of these days.

@FuriousMachine Sure will, it maybe be fairly soon as I think I have seen everything that is a must watch for me for the time being on the streaming sevices I currently sub to .

I've not seen The Crow in years but have also heard good things about the transfer. The Truman Show I used to watch at least once a year, so was a no brainer when I saw it in the sale.

Going to be watching The Substance today, looking forward to it. I also have a Yearning to watch some Wuxia. I'd love some recommendations. Will be posting over on the "What are you Reading?" Forum later as I'll be finishing my current read today.

@MightyDemon82 Hope you like it, mate I would second the call for some good Wuxia recommendations. Apart from the well known "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "House of Flying Daggers", it is as genre I've yet to satisfactory explore.

I just got back from seeing Companion and my, what a blast that was! Hugely entertaining, solid dark humour and some bloody fun murders. There is a minor second act twist that is somewhat signposted, but is apparently thoroughly spoiled in the marketing materials, so I would recommend avoiding trailers and the like. It won't ruin the movie for you, but I think it will be more fun not knowing it going in. Great cast!

The Final Destination franchise is one of my all time favourites and I pretty much love all the entries (even the weaker ones), so it is safe to say I'm really looking forward to the new one coming out in May.
They just released a teaser showing off one of the deaths and they check the box for "elaborate Rube Goldberg-esque deaths" at least Here's hoping they nail the rest as well

Saw 'The Substance' the other night. Went in knowing nothing about it (zero trailers, reviews, etc.) and the writer / director is unknown to me. Was a hell of a ride. No wonder its rated R18+ for many reasons. Demi Moore was briiliant and Dennis Quaid was having a blast with his role.
Anyone else seen this?

@SingleStooge I rated it as my favourite movie I saw on the big screen last year. Sheer brilliance! That ending is so bats**t insane, I couldn't stop laughing.

@SingleStooge nope. still havent seen The Substance. i have been thinking about blind buying it anyway for DVD or blu ray but the blu ray keeps getting sold out from time to time on walmart online.

there anything else new for horror that went straight to dvd/blu ray this month besides The Substance?

watched the 2023 Stephen King story/movie Boogeyman on Tubi earlier tonight. i thought it was pretty good. Did he even write the original story from one of his old short story collection books or something?

seinfeldfanatic

FuriousMachine

@seinfeldfanatic It was based on King's short story with the same name, originally published in 1973 in "Cavalier" magazine and later in the short story collection "Night Shift"

Watched Brain Damage on Tubi earlier tonight. movie had a funny quick cameo of Duane Bradley character from the Basket Case movie. So i guess Brain Damage shares the same movie connection universe along with Basket Case.

Duane got freaked out by the Brain Damage's main character that bad that Duane and his basket which had Belial so much that maybe Belial used his psychic ability to sense something weird was going on in that subway train? Lol
