Though it looks like Bruce McDonald’s much raved about horror film Pontypool (our review) is only getting a limited US release on May 29th, those who don’t get a chance to see it on the big screen will have an opportunity to catch up with the film on DVD a few short weeks later.
DVD Active has news that the film will see a DVD release on July 21st and they even have cover. DVD release news is great but the cover art? It’s garbage. Seriously cheesy considering how awesome the film’s one sheet was. This is the best they could come up with? Not that it will stop me from buying the thing but seriously?
No other details on what, if any, extras will be included on the DVD but we’ll let you know as soon as we find out. For the time being, go and enjoy the trailer.
This one is happily going into my collection. But I agree. The original ‘blood splat’ poster was awesome.
Heck, I’d take the minimal oscilliscope display!
I loved the film so much and I also intend to buy the DVD. However, the preview of the DVD cover leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. In fact, with this one, anyone who hasn’t seen the film would likely think that the film is not to be taken seriously. Like Kurt, I prefer the “blood splat” poster.
Oh sweet!
I didn’t think I’d be able to see this for atleast a couple of months.
Everyone seems to have nothing but good things to say about this movie. I can’t wait to see it myself.
