Format:Blu-ray
We've bought ROTLD on every format you can think of (I have). HOW COME it takes a UK company to get the ORIGINAL AUDIO TRACK released? Because MGM only wanted their sound mix available and fed us a lot of crap for over a decade. I've been a hardened ROTLD fan and collector for 21 years now. And I have to say - this release is going to be by far - THE BEST AND ONLY VERSION TO BUY OR OWN!

Alas, Second Sight have restored for the first time in 5.1 HD-MA, the original audio and print of The Return of the Living Dead. FINALLY available again after 12 years. There will be the dual option of the U.S 2005 audio mix, but who cares about that. The original way is the only way to see it!

And if the film wasn't enough - MORE BRAINS: A Return to the Living Dead is a milestone of an independent fan documentary. If you didn't buy the documentary when it first came out, then you have to see it now. And we also get a sweet detailed booklet (by Gary Smart) that highlights a small history of ROTLD. Then there is the steelbook! It would have been better to have the original UK Vestron video art - but happy that we're even getting more than a standard release.

PRE-ORDER THIS MO-FO AND FEEL YOURSELF ROT!!!

This is a pre-order (Ive pre-ordered my copy here, amazon is cheaper than ebay at this time and £10.99 is a good price). This is Region 2/b -uk spec bluray, having looked at american release on blu-ray a reviewer has said the transfer is really good both in sound and picture, extras though didnt include deleted scenes or the alternative ending and had some audio / voice changes. However he did specify it didnt take away the original feel of the movie and bluray was still the way to go. This was some time ago and Im expecting this limited edition to remedy those things, either way the artwork looks fantastic and there will be 5hrs of bonus materials.

The only thing left to say is this is a great movie, it doesnt take itself too seriously which is where its strength lies, you can chuckle along whilst being grossed out by slimey zombies with flesh hanging off them or skeleton zombies with no flesh at all, or dismembered and decomposing zombies :) (look at 'Tarman' on youtube) similar watches would be 'Braindead' (the goriest film probably ever made) 'Evil Dead' or the original 'Night/dawn/day of the dead' trilogy if youre looking for something a little more serious. This tho is my fav.

If you love the classic zombie movies and have a sense of humour - This is for you!
Enough said.
However, I will NOT recommend this UK bluray edition until it is confirmed that it contains the ORIGINAL soundtrack as found on the VHS and Laserdisc editions...
We should not as consumers support altered and inferior versions of our favorite movies.
Remember; The only vote we have - is how we spend our money!
