I was getting nervous that we'd go a full 12 months without a new version of the Evil Dead films. http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=10594
Jeeeez... Again?!? They can re-release this movie a billion times with new extras, but from now on I´m done with this movie, the last Lionsgate BD was perfect enough for me. The only thing that would have me rebuy this one, is if they reinstated some gore. I´m not too fond about Evil Dead 2 these days, seen it too many times the last 25 years. And I think I have outgrown the silliness, as I much prefer the superiour original. I wish they would use the money they put on all these re-releases on something previously unreleased instead.
This is a UK release, you know that right? They didn't get the 25th Anniversary Edition like North America did, only the original release. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Evil-Dead-II-Dead-by-Dawn-Blu-ray/66965/
Aha, yeah, we really DO need to get an replacement for that first horrible release over here in Europe as well.
Glad to hear it's a UK release because I just bought the 25th anniversary edition and own the awful AB transfer blu ray.
No, These (new) featurettes are on the US 25th anniversary. It's just a direct port of the LG disc for the UK.
Here's the Amazon.uk link. According to the Amazon page, it's Region B. I just checked my disc and it contains all of the same features. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Evil-Dead-B...ef=sr_1_9?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1362183643&sr=1-9
Just watched the new 25th anniversary edition Blu Ray, and can honestly say WOW!! What a huge improvement over the AB Blu. For anyone on the fence about re-buying this blu, you should not hesitate! I noticed much more detail, and amazingly enough, realized Sam Raimi had a cameo!! haha I've been watching this movie since the 80's and somehow never noticed that!!
Correct. A friend of mine bought this new UK version and I compared it to the US 25th and they are identical except for the menu.
