Image Entertainment Re-Releasing DVD & Blu-Rays (Lake Shore Deal)

[Shawn Francis]

If this like the Echo Bridge deal then what's the point of re-buying them? If they are new transfers and/or new estras then sure, but I don't think that's what this deal is about. All links go to Image Entertainment's sight. Did you guys know they own the rights to THE PREY? Found this out recently and sent them an email asking if this was true and if they could release. Never got a reply. Figures.

THE HILLS HAVE EYES

HEATHERS

DEAD HEAT

VAMP

HELLRAISER

HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II

CHILDREN OF THE CORN

[HAEMORRHAGE]

Like Heathers doesn't have enough versions out there already. Maybe they should release a new DVD of Halloween while they're at it?

will get hills have eyes on blu 9/6/2011 if that release date holds up

[fceurich39]

also seen creepshow 2 also but just the dvd no blu-ray

[Katatonia]

Hopefully they do a better job than they have with most of their Blu-ray releases of older genre titles.

yeah hills have eyes i aint expecting a whole lot the picture quality isnt very good on the anchor bay 2 disc dvd

[Nailwraps]

I don't know. Django got a great PQ upgrade for the Blu-Ray. Image should also consider re-releasing The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 with a new transfer and judging by what I'm seeing, it can't be long now.

and in widescreen too

[CPT HOOK]

I already own the Anchor Bay blu-rays of Heathers and Children Of The Corn, so no need for those. I have the DVDs for all of the rest (including Heathers and COTC, actually).

I'd love to upgrade Vamp, depending on the reviews. I'll probably get Hills Have Eyes too. I don't think I ever even opened my Dead Heat DVD.

The first Django? Blue Underground released that.

Image's DVD of The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 had an atrocious transfer.

I know. I'm just saying that sometimes a film will get a new transfer for a Blu-Ray release that looks better than it's recent/current DVD release.

[It's me, Billy]

So Anchor Bay/Starz licensed these titles out to Image? I guess that means the AB/Starz BDs/DVDs are out of print?

I don't see how Image could do any better for Children of the Corn than Anchor Bay/Starz did with their 20th Anniversary DVD and 25th Anniversary BD.

And as for Heathers...I own the 2001 DVD (with the Winona Ryder cover), the 20th Anniversary DVD from 2008, and the BD. It would be nice for Image to add something substantial like a commentary track with Winona Ryder, Shannen Doherty, Christian Slater, and Lisanne Falk. Perhaps a tribute documentary on Kim Walker (Heather Chandler) who died in 2001 at the age of 32.

[Kolpitz]

I have absolutely no faith in these releases. Image has never been a great company but their track record as of late has been truly abysmal.

[Nailwraps]

In defense, they've done great with the Sony catalogue. We got Money Train in it's widescreen ratio at last.

Hellraiser 2 and Hills Have Eyes are already up fo pre-order at Amazon, among others. I will be getting these 2 assuming they are not complete garbage.
