Rob Zombie's Halloween 1 & 2 (Ultimate Edition)

When one spends 40 bucks for a set like this, I would expect it would mention in the description what region the release is in. It is a region B release. I found out the hard way when it arrived and I was not able to play it on my American player. So now I have the inconvenience of making a return and trying to find a copy of Halloween 2 that isn't outrageously priced. Ugh...

I’m waiting for Zombies films to come in 4k. Both movies theatrical cuts are better than the extended directors versions. The original was a very good reimagining of the original with one of the most imposing Michael Myers. He’s huge and believable as a monster. Not sure what happened with Zombies 2nd take on Myers, but it was not worth the price of admission. With a $50 price tag these needed to be in 4k to even get close to justifying a purchase. It’s great to have both cuts of each film, but again I think more tinkering did not make them better. I have all this content already and still excited to get my hands on these in 4k, but for $50 this is an easy pass. Don’t make us wait much longer now that every other iteration of Halloween is out on 4k. Time for Shout or Akad to do a proper restoration. Not a scan, but a full blown restoration and then maybe a $50 price tag might be warranted and give us a look into that restoration. Now it’s time for James Wan to take on the franchise and put his imprint on this classic.

The first film was great, the second film...not so much. The psychedelic stuff kind of ruined it. These films are pretty cheap to get so releasing them as a 2 movie, 4 disc set for $50 is way too optimistic of a price; despite including R theatrical and unrated versions of both films. It don't matter. Price shouldn't be more than $25 for the 2 movie set, and that's being generous!!! I wouldn't expect to sell many of these.
