I've already preordered the ltd editions of 'Scanners' and 'The Brood'. I held off buying the German releases hoping Second Sight would have these. Amazingly its been 12 years since they released their first Blu rays of these films.
I like the Evil Dead artwork, but while I enjoyed the movie, I haven't watched my Blu-ray a second time, so I don't know if I'll get it. Scanners is a definite upgrade, The Brood is a maybe. I don't have it currently, and while I remember enjoying it, it didn't blow me away like my favorite Cronenberg films did on first watch.
I actually like The Brood a bit better than Scanners. I think Stephen Lack lets the film down a bit whereas in Brood you have Ollie Reed and Samantha Eggars holding things down. If you take the horror element out of it, it would still be a compelling family drama. That said, I still ordered both because Cronenberg is my favorite horror director and I love Scanners despite finding the lead actor, uh “lacking” :-P
I won't be picking up any of these releases. I have a nice Criterion blu-ray release of THE BROOD. I have blu-ray's of the other films as well. Good enough. I do upgrade if I have DVD only but I will not upgrade further. Too hard on the wallet and really it is not practical. Once we have a proper release on hand, most everything else is just VANITY or FOMO. Happy collecting.
I’m absolutely bummed that we won’t get the original theatrical ending in 4K for Night of the Creeps. It’s a huge deal-breaker. We’re talking about film preservation here. These directors are doing more harm than good lately with these restorations. Just look at Riddick from Scream Factory. Include both cut and do whatever you want with the other, censor, change ending and etc. but always keep the original cut. God, I really dislike the director’s cut ending-it’s so silly and just doesn’t cut for me
Dude, no offense, but You're Next by Second Sight is meh at best. I'm not impressed and several other TH-cam review channels feel a little ripped off (if you got the boxset).
Fully agree!! Scanners was the one of the most boring shit I've seen. Not the greatest start for Second Sight. Hopefully better releases later this year
I think the thing with his movies are people feel like their smart sophisticated horror fans by claiming they love his movies. I feel the same way about people that rave about criterion releases.

I would love re-releases of some of Cronenberg’s other films: M Butterfly, Dead Ringers, Spider, A Dangerous Method, just to name a few.
The Night of the Creeps Eureka Blu-ray in the U.K. has the sorority cover also - TM

I was wondering if you ever heard of the band power wolf it’s one of my favorites ❤ great vid by the way

I'm getting the regular 4ks of Scanners and The Brood. I already have the Criterion blu rays
Hopefully the wwz steelbook will have the directors cut in 4k this time.. but I doubt it
The You’re Next steelbook is from Lionsgate Limited, I assume 1/14 is when it’ll become available for pre order on their website! 🦊
Do you know if it's a new transfer?
@@Metalhead_Tedit's the second sight transfer. Absolutely gorgeous!
If the Scanners 4K has the green tint like the Criterion blu, it's a hard pass for me.
I think You’re Next is only available via the Lionsgate website as an exclusive?
@@OhItsRoodie Correct, it’s from Lionsgate Limited!
Lionsgate releasing more 4k steel books gives me hope we’ll get Rob zombies Halloween films on 4k too
Forcing customers to buy the figure to get the two slips thereby severely increasing yhe price is not right. No, it's not cool.
Only ordered night of the creeps 4K bundle. Wasn’t a big fan of scanners or the brood.
I don't like the alternate slipcover but like figures

Agreed! I have perfectly good Blu-rays of Night of the Creeps and The Brood. Re-buying just to have on 4K is a waste of money.
Dude, what’s up with Wal Mart carrying those A24 special editions? I own a few and they’re great…but…Wal Mart?
i know something else that will bring ya outta neca retirement . return of the living dead ultimates coming out this year

The Evil Dead steelbook had a Blu-ray this time, I don’t think the last one did? The artwork is boring though.
I’m so sick of collecting movies
It’s always diff artwork and re releases
This is so addicting
Who's 'Cronenburg'?
Dude, no offense, but You're Next by Second Sight is meh at best. I'm not impressed and several other TH-cam review channels feel a little ripped off (if you got the boxset).
Cronenberg is overrated. His movies are as cliché and generic as your basic lifetime movie

There might be something wrong with people getting The Brood in 4k. jk😂 That ending is just nasty!!
I like The Brood but the Criterion Blu is perfect for me. Scanners was a bore fest and went straight to the sell pile along with 2 and 3.
