Format:Blu-ray
I remember seeing this at the cinema as consolation for the fact that the film we wanted to see had sold out. Turned out to be one of my favourite films.
Directed by Peter Jackson between his low budget slasher pics (Bad Taste & Braindead) and his big budget adventures with Frodo & co what starts out as a kooky comedy turns into a horror without missing a beat.
A great cast, beautiful locations & some good (but dated) CGI make this one of the most enjoyable & under-rated films ever.
The Blu Ray picture and sound is an improvement on the DVD and also includes the theatrical (109mins) & directors cut (122mins), an introduction by Peter Jackson (which I believe was made for the 10th Anniversary dvd edition), The Making of (an immense 3hrs 45mins in total), which includes everything you'll ever need to know about this film and its production.
Enjoy.

I won't go into much detail about the actual film here, since most people checking out the blu ray will have already seen it; all I will say is that it is a superb horror-comedy, which deserves much wider attention than it gets. But as regards the blu ray edition, this is one of the best I've had. My old dvd only had the theatrical cut and no extras on it. This has both the theatrical and director's cut versions, as well as a making of documentary, blooper reel, interview with Danny Elfman who provided the music, storyboarding and trailer, and a commentary by Peter Jackson. It has English and French audio, and subtitles in English, Latin American Spanish and Canadian French (I quote there from the box). The blu ray transfer is superb, magnificent picture quality and sound. And the director's cut version is terrific, lots of material I'd never seen before, some of which explains a problem with the opening scene - in the theatrical version this scene doesn't appear to fit the denouement, but when you see the director's cut it does make sense. I really enjoyed this as much as if I'd never seen it before, and I highly recommend it even if you have the dvd; well worth purchasing.

I'm not commenting on the movie, I don't think it's relevant to comment on the movies themselves here, there are better places for that like IMDB.
This blu-ray benefits from an excellent transfer. Visually, it's probably the best that could be made out of the original material. No complaints, great show.
Being a french-speaking person, I was originally going to buy, naturally, the french edition from Amazon.fr. Thanks to discerning commenters there, I didn't, and bought this one instead!
What makes this UK edition stand out is that:
- it includes the two versions of the movie (the original theatrical cut and the director's cut) - the french edition only has the theatrical version!
- it has english and french languages
- it has english, french and spanish subtitles
- the extras have english and french subtitles - the french edition doesn't even have subtitles for the extras!
Have fun :-)
