This film is a classic. The Nic Cage one is an unintentional comedy, one of the funniest movies of all time 😂
Just put out my own review. This is definitely one of the best 4ks this year. Also, it's one of the best steelbooks of the year!! I'm glad to see we are on the same page with the video! Looks incredible.
Thanks for showing the back of the case as you list the special features. It makes it easier to be engaged during the video
I went for the UK version to have all 3 cuts of the movie. I do like the Final Cut the best so if you just want something cheap, this is not a bad option. It's not a mind blowing transfer due to all of the problems with the film print but it's very solid and the best it has ever looked. It's such a unique movie too that still holds up if you are into weird horror.
Thanks for covering this bro. This is my favourite movie.
Just watched it for the first time last week and it's now one of my favorite horror movies of the 70's. Great movie.
In addition to boxset shown in video, there is also steelbook version from studio canal. It has all 3 cuts in 4k and blu-ray (2+2 discs).
Just picked this up from Best Buy, haven’t seen the film ever, and you drop a review. Of course I had to watch this before popping it in the player!
Absolute classic, top 5 all time horror if not top 3
I picked up the limited edition from the UK, haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Yes the music is awesome picked up the vinyl soundtrack a few years back.
Awesome video & keep up the good work.
I'm in the UK it's £50 for the box set over here but it's already sold out
Loved this movie since it came out! Have the DVD, the Blu-ray Final Cut and have just got the Studio Canal pop-up collectors edition, AWESOME! Greetings from the UK!
The Wicker Man uk 5 disc edition, it's disc 5 is a soundtrack CD, in that ultimate edition. Myself I went for uk studio Canal Steelbook, which is the 4 disc set minus the 5th disc of the ultimate edition, the steelbook main image is of the actual Wicker statue, as the sun is going down, where the sky gets the purple and pink yellow orange tones, where the purple is taking over. Most shops in the UK are selling it for £39.99, as I'm from the UK.
I ordered it from Best Buy (RIP) and am really psyched after your review, thank you!
Thanks for the review. I just ordered the movie from your BB Link.
Got the last one at my local Best Buy today.
Love this movie and to have it on 4K in a steelbook for $21 is insane!
I just received my 5-Disc (two 4K, two blu, one CD) Collectors Edition from Diabolik DVD.
Nice review. Hope I can get my hands on it.
Glad I ordered it online and one of my favourite classic movies and love the director’s cut and theatrical version in 4K
Watched this for the first time last night, it was an experience. Might pick this up
Get the imported one if you can, so awesome. I just got mine today, so you can definitely get one
I pre-ordered this and received it yesterday. I have the woodbox DVD edition as well.
As for the trigger warning at the beginning, that's something Studio Canal is doing for all of their older movies now. It doesn't matter what it is. It's just a generic warning to keep people from complaining about their modern views somehow not being the same as something made 50 years ago...
Thanks. Great review. I got the Studio Canal one from the UK. How about a Snow White review?
Great restoration on this 4k!
Need to give this a watch, maybe even pick up the UK edition steelbook! New to physical media collecting/reviewing especially 70s stuff this seems like a good shout!
I used to have the dvd wooden box set from Anchor Bay which had the image of the wicker man burned into the cover. I opted for the Studio Canal box this time.
Def excited to check this 4k remaster out. But I just got the Hellraiser 4k set so that comes first 🤤🍿
In Australia we got the Studio Canal release but unlike in the Uk it's just regular 4k plastic packaging, but does come with all 3 versions in 4k on 2 4k discs. So good alternative if you want all 3 on 4k but at a lower price point. This however means no blu ray disc. But if your like me you will already have it on blu-ray:)
Just watched it yesterday, it’s artsy, it’s campy, it’s funny and creepy all at the same time, and the folk songs are pretty cool. I throughly enjoyed watching it. 3.5/5
Awesome that The Final Cut is your favorite cut of the film. I have kept your IMPRINT WICKERMAN Boxset well taken care of. It's cool to keep the community going Cheers!
Cool thanks
I received my copy yesterday from Best Buy in the mail. Of course it was damaged. First and last time ordering from them (even if they are not going to be selling phisical media much longer).
You should review The Others Criterion release. Wow!
Airheads is like $300 on ebay right now.. apparently its OOP and not streaming anywhere
Need to get three version set. Theatrical cut has a great transfer - sadly the Final Cut does not.
Roger Corman had a duplicate film print that’s how it got discovered as a certain channel named The Shred Shack mentioned
Does anyone have the UK version? What are is the extra 7 or so minutes not included in the ‘final cut’? I really would’ve like to finally see the director’s cut but I do like the US steelbook’s price compared to importing it
James from In Search of Physical Media gave Wicker Man a very low score for picture and audio and the disc comes with a disclaimer saying this is the best we could do. Not good.
peeping tom and the color purple 4k both on pre
Can you review sisu 4k bluray
Christopher Lee also mentioned that he still believes that the original camera negatives still exist somewhere in film cans with no name that’s what he said in an interview two decades ago
Will this get a standard release in UK or US?
I think the warning they placed at the beginning may be due to the treatment of live animals in the film. There probably wasn't an ethical treatment of animals code in the UK back then (my guess) and I'm sure some modern audiences would find it off putting.
I imported the deluxe edition from the UK because I like swag. I had never purchased the blu-ray version but bought the US DVD special edition way back when. That came is in a wooden box with a "burned in" stencil of the wicker man. Very cool packaging
Yes I’ve still got that version myself - very cool
How does the 4k compare to the blu-ray ?
Criterion Has just Released the 1930s movie Freak on Blu Ray
I just got my copy yesterday! I can hardly wait to watch it when I get to the “W”s in my alphabetical, 31 days of October horror challenge. 🔥😱🔥
What’s the full lineup
For V I recommend van helsing
Van Helsing is one favorites. Incredible special effects. My “V” is 1988’s The Vanishing @@reginaldforthright805
sorry but I cant watch this after looking at the trailer.. and I'm really trying to open up more in my movie watching journey .........................................
The lady dancing outside of the guy's door is something I'll never forget.
she was so fine
No longer available unless I wanna pay way more on eBay.
The 2 best best buys near me have eradicated physical media in their stores. I'm not going to drive 150 miles to pick up one movie. A movie this popular shouldn't be so hard to acquire. Ah, well maybe one of the other boutique labels will pick it up. Can't afford the big import set.
@@boratliff I totally agree
Just bought it but won't watch it. Saw it years ago and the end horrifies me to this day.
Why buy it if you won't watch it?
The collector in me recognizes it as a classic in its genre. But the "Fraidy cat" in me says "Not gonna' watch it."
This release is dumb. This movie requires multiple cuts. Everyone prefers a different version. Personally, I prefer the theatrical cut and I know many fans who do as well. It cuts to the chase and does not overexplain the themes of the movie.
Trigger warnings on a physical copy is very disappointing and cringe.
Yes, I wish we could remove that nonsense.
Wow, a trigger warning? Really? That's cringe.
The steelbook is stunning. Was able to buy the only copy at Best Buy.
