Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise
provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has selected Apr. 12 as the street date
for a new 2K restoration of director Brian Yuzna’s 1989 horror delight, Bride
of the Re-Animator.
Planned for release are Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack edition
featuring two separate Blu-ray viewing options — the original theatrical
release (also a 2K restoration) and a director-approved unrated cut of the film
— the companion DVD disc is also the unrated cut.
This cult follow-up to director Stuart Gordon’s 1985
award-winning film adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s serialized short story from
the 1920s, “Herbert West–Reanimator,” (titled simply Re-Animator) features a
newly-prepared commentary option from director Brian Yuzna (Society,
Return
of the Living Dead III, Progeny, etc.).
Plus there are two vintage
commentaries — one featuring Yuzna, who is joined by Jeffrey Combs (reprising
his role here as Dr. Herbert West), visual effects supervisor Tom Rainone and
the f/x team (John Buechler, Mike Deak, Bob Kurtzman, Howard Berger and
Screaming Mad George) and the second teaming Combs with his co-star Bruce
Abbott (Dr. Dan Cain).
Other bonus goodies include two newly-prepared featurettes —
“Brian Yuzna Remembers Bride of Re-animator” and “Splatter Masters: The Special
Effects Artists of Bride of Re-animator” — deleted scenes and the vintage
featurette titled “Getting Ahead in Horror.”
