Editor's Notes

Note

Arrow's limited edition steelbook sold out quickly on Zavvi. The Zavvi deluxe version had impressive packaging, and the standard edition is the more accessible option. Collectors who already had the Blu-ray still upgraded because early 70s sci-fi photographed on film tends to benefit enormously from the resolution jump. A quiet, beloved film with a dedicated following.
