Sounds like the same extras from the laserdisc 10th Anniversary edition that Elite put together

This is shaping up to be an epic 4th quarter for Blu-ray releases. Hopefully, Image goes with a new, slightly brighter transfer than the one used on the 2 dvd DTS release which was too dark that was supposedly done for eventual HD release as well.

And Image *really* need to get out the restored, uncut "From Beyond" Blu-ray. The DVD release was mind-blowing.

We've started work on the Stuart Gordon / Brian Yuzna classics: RE-ANIMATOR, BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND and SOCIETY. All will be released in the UK on Blu-ray and DVD (date TBC) and we're excited to once again be bringing in the talents of legendary artist Graham Humphreys, creator of numerous iconic posters of the 80's (The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Nightmare on Elm St, Basket Case) to create brand new artwork for the releases in his own inimitable style. Here's Graham in his studio when recently filmed for an interview to appear on the Basket Case trilogy release.

I am so happy they are doing Society also!!

Cult film is a term used too often lately, but this is one of real cult classics:

The caps look unflattering, detail is quite weak like it's from an ancient scan. I imagine there will be those that will blame the film budget, ignoring of course the quite a few ultra low budget films that have very good pq like Evil Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Repulsion, Mad Max, Sling Blade, etc. More like no new scan budget.

I watched my copy tonight and I think Return of the Living Dead may look better than this. I have not watched Return of the Living Dead on my 119" screen yet so it's hard for me to really compare the two.

I agree that RotLD looks better than this... and that breaks my heart.

I pretty much agree with that review. It's an upgrade from the previous releases as far as a/v quality but not by much. It's certainly not an "Evil Dead" style gigantic upgrade but it's also not a disappointing cheapo port of an old transfer like say, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 also released recently is. I'm happy there's not any noticeable revisionist tinkering with the contrast or color and it's not quite as dark and murky as the last dvd release was.

Those caps aren't from any of the good looking scenes.

In the caps-a-holic caps the BD hardly looks any better then the DVD and the BD has been brightened, a lot (nothing says scary like a bright image). This is one of the worst I have seen from Imagine Entertainment if the two site caps are accurate.

I watched the Blu Ray, it isn't that bad.
It has some really stand out scenes of video quality that aren't on that comparison list.
