It takes a great disc to make me stop what I am doing and "make" the time to sit down and watch it. When todays mail showed up I was thrilled to find The Ultimate Edition of THE EVIL DEAD.
We've all loved this film forever. It is a classic in every meaning of the word and yes it does seem like Anchor Bay comes out with another "new" version of the DVD every year but this one is different, this one is special.
3 discs of awesomeness.
This release is the latest in The Anchor Bay Collection series in which they take classic horror films and give them the royal treatment. It has been an exceptional series of films and THE EVIL DEAD's turn only adds to the already well established reputation.
So, what's all my fussing about you ask. Here, see for yourself:
Evil Dead: Ultimate Edition (Disc One)
- Widescreen Presentation
- One By One We Will Take You: The Untold Saga Of THE EVIL DEAD
- Audio Commentary with Writer/Director Sam Raimi and Producer Robert Tapert
Evil Dead: Ultimate Edition (Disc Two)
- Full-Frame Presentation
- THE EVIL DEAD: Treasures From The Cutting Room Floor
- Audio Commentary with Star Bruce Campbell
Evil Dead: Ultimate Edition (Disc Three)
- Life After Death: The Ladies Of THE EVIL DEAD
- The Ladies Of THE EVIL DEAD Meet Bruce Campbell
- Discovering THE EVIL DEAD
- Unconventional
- At The Drive-In
- Reunion Panel
- Make-Up Test
- Trailer
- TV Spots
- Still Gallery
- Poster & Memorabilia Gallery
Yeah, like I was saying, when they say Ultimate Edition, they ain't fooling around.
The film looks and sounds great but it has looked and sounded great on every edition that the mighty AB has ever put out. The reason to pick this one up is two fold. First off, the packaging is fantastic. I love, love, love the "old, folded poster" look and when you open the package up you are treated to a quad fold liner that sports various renditions of the artwork for the film. Also included is a two sided mini poster that just screams to be hung up somewhere.
Secondly, the special features are outstanding. Even if you have seen this film 100 times you still must pick up this box set and check out these new special features that AB has assembled for this ULTIMATE release.
Each disc has it's own commentaries and documentaries and the third disc is all special features that are nothing if not extensive.
So, should you pick it up? Oh hell yeah.
It's a great, must have addition to any true horror fans collection.
The box set comes out on Dec. 18th, just in time for placing under you favorite horror fans tree.
You can click here to head on over to AB and pick one up.
Don't waste your time trying to come up with excuses to not go out and buy this one.l You want it, you need it and it's worth it.
