Army of Darkness (Collector's Edition)

Product Information

The oddball, campy masterpiece that combines Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels is a hyperactive and fun-as-hell addition to the horror genre.

Scream Factory has detailed its upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness (1992), starring Bruce Campbell, Embeth Davidtz, Marcus Gilbert, Ian Abercrombie, and Richard Grove. As for the image quality of the other versions, the theatrical version has been ported over from the Universal vaults, and for good reason. Tim has reviewed Stephen Soderbergh’s Out of Sight (1998) on 4K Ultra HD from Kino Lorber Studio Classics, as well as Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994) on 4K Ultra HD from Arrow Video. Evil Dead II exists solely because of the mild bit of controversy that surrounded the original film, particularly in the U. Not only is it informative (and I should note that I was among the people interviewed therein), it includes some great news about forthcoming titles.Factory] will be doing ARMY OF DARKNESS early next year, which will be the first title we have done from scratch", since there's no other 4K transfer for the film as of yet, so they'll be doing the restoration themselves.

I know that’s a big part of its charm, though, so that’s not a drawback for me; just noting that in case you care. The international version plays more like the theatrical version, but utilizes moments from the director’s cut, including the reinstitution of a love scene, the extended Bad Ash antagonization and burial scene, the extended cemetery scene, and many, but not all, of the alternate lines of dialogue and footage during the end battle. Shout/Scream includes the entire three-disc special edition Blu-ray alongside the 4K disc, but the theatrical cut Blu includes the new 4K scan used on the UHD. For instance, the close-up shot of an arrow during the beginning of the film is still equipped with wires, which are more visible now.Rich in resolution and sharpness, Army of Darkness shows wholly modern definition, resolving high-fidelity information regularly.

The differences between it, the theatrical version, and the international cut are too numerous to list in this review, so if you’re not already a fan, I would recommend watching all of them and deciding on your own. UHD doesn't include an Atmos mix but fans will certainly still find the options provided satisfactory.if you haven’t scooped this one up on home video before or have one of the older DVDs or Blu-rays that are pretty bereft of extras. Scream Factory has utilized a transfer straight from an interpositive print in 4K resolution for this version. There’s also a new featurette on the creation of the Deadites, as the undead are known in this film. Army of Darkness was also not a hit when it was initially released, but thanks to home video and repeated cable airings throughout the years, it became a cult favorite.

The original ending, which involves Ash accidentally sleeping too long and waking up in a dead world, just doesn’t seem to jive with the thrill ride that came before it. The film was also not a hit when it was initially released, but thanks to home video and repeated cable airings throughout the years, it became a cult favorite.then the answer to that question is: “It depends on whether this new 4K version is worth the upgrade to you.
