Editor's Notes

Note

Shout Factory Collector's Edition 4K is the one to get. The transfer is a real step up from the old Blu-ray with better detail in the night scenes and natural skin tones. A Walmart-exclusive steelbook dropped in January with different artwork that people really did not like, one person compared it to a Halloween Horror Nights house. A wider steelbook release hits May 12 through Gruv CA. The extras are good too, making-of doc and interviews with the director and cinematographer.
