Why does nobody want us to own such a recent movie?

The US release is a bdr and the UK and Australia don't even get a release.

What's the problem?

A number of us do own it. We talked a bit about it in the "Recommend a modern indie horror film" thread a few months back. I loved it and posted my initial recommendation for it. I would imagine for a lot of folks the BD-R status is a big turn off though.

The German release is plenty good.

I got the German mediabook that includes a soundtrack CD for $24 including shipping from Amazon.de. Looks like the price has risen now.

BD-R definitely is a turnoff. If they were priced at around $5 then perhaps it'd be a different story. Some of us have had bad experiences over the years with -r media whether it be cd-r, dvd,r, etc.

I have the BD-R and the video and audio quality is great. Really loved the movie too. Just make a backup and don't let the burnt disc turn you off.

Tone blare

This. I dont give a rip about it being BD-R it looks great and I got it from amazon for 10 bucks. Tragedy girls is also bd-r and that movie looks great as well. I dont care what it is i just want the movie.

I own the OOP German "VHS" box. Great movie, and a shame it got shafted with a cheap BD-R here in North America.

L'Atelier d'Images releases a french BD (BD 25 / 1080p) with a DTS DH MA 5.1 english and french audio (with optional french subtitles), with bloopers, trailers and the french commentary on april 9th. Audio and video are really good.

Echoes Beta

Do you know if this will be region free?

Mister B Gone

Received this new from Amazon and thought I had been sent a bootleg copy. so I guess its good that I didn't? Its still a BD-R which is super lame.

This is a good movie! A real shame this wasn't treated better.

TripleHBK

Sadly what you got was the official US release. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie though. I got a kick out of this one during my first viewing a while back and have been meaning to revisit it to see how it holds up.

Great movie, especially the final act. BD-R doesn't bother me at all.

TripleHBK

The movie sort of just gingerly strolls along and really leaves the viewer wondering whether or not this belongs in the horror genre or not and then... BAM! Final act and it all becomes clear.

Can anybody confirm if this release is Region B compatible?

CelestialAgent

why not just get the German disc

Optimus

Just did now, thanks!

So what's up with the US release? I just got this from Netflix's disc-by-mail last week and – at the time – paid no particular attention because I hadn't seen the movie and didn't know anything about it.

After looking into purchasing it, apparently it's only available as a BD-R for Region A, which is a major turn off for me. But the disc I received from Netflix was 100% a pressed BD-ROM. The disc art was even slightly different than what is depicted in the photo on Amazon in a review.

So, not that anyone else necessarily knows anything, but what gives? If there exist pressed discs for Region A, why can't we buy those?

You can The Warner Archive Blu-Rays (MOD) are (unlike their DVD counterparts) all 100 % pressed proper Blu-Rays! There are no bd-rs in the Warner Archive line of titles.

Update: My bad. For some reason I thought we were talking about 'Summer of '42'.... (I was just reading that other '42 thread.). You're right, 'Summer of 84' is a BD-R only release by Gunpowder & Sky. I don't know what disc netflix-disc-by-mail had. But it does not seem to be any other US releases of this that are pressed.

Your only options are imports. (where most of them are region B-locked).

With Vinegar Syndrome recently partnering with Gunpowder & Sky, I really hope this is a film that gets revisited for a proper release. I almost never buy movies on BD-r, but I made an exception here. I'd be very happy to see VS release a proper pressed disc edition.
