Return Of The Living Dead Invasion Of The Body Snatchers '78 on Blu-Ray - Page 2

Matt89 · 07-24-2010, 03:21 AM

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is one of the best films of the 1970s and definitely one of the best sci-fi films ever made. This is one of the rare instances where the remake outdoes the original. Having the film take place in San Francisco makes it feel all the more claustrophobic and frightening.

I've been anticipating a blu-ray release of Invasion. Nice to know one's finally on the way.

Awesome- I love ROTLD and right now only own the vhs quality import dvd from tartan because it has the original soundtrack (which I really wanted). But I wouldnt mind double dipping and having the superior video quality now too on blu <:

these will probably be region locked?

Odd. The runtime says 114 minutes. Probably just a misprint, but wouldn't it be awesome if they had a remastered version of the workprint?

They did the same thing with the Collector's Edition when it was released in 2007, I think they're just including the runtime of the special features on top of the feature film.

I agree. I just watched this again after several years last night. The film was very claustrophobic. I saw this film years about 20 years ago for the first time and didn't care for it at the at time, but I really enjoyed it last night. Personally, I still like the original better, but the 78' version is quite good. I will be picking this up, and ROTLD on Blu.

Thanks for pointing that link out. Both titles there are up for preorder for $17.99, which is a dollar cheaper than Amazon currently has them at, and there's a link to sign-up for FoxConnect emails with a coupon for 10% off, plus free shipping.

othervoice1 · 08-04-2010, 03:09 AM

did the 10% off coupon work on the pre-orders?

Suicide · 08-04-2010, 05:18 AM

Yeah, it worked. I got ROTLD and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 5 ($25) for like $35 shipped.
