Today we got a monster update from Dark Sky Films starting with the long-delayed release of Tobe Hooper's Eaten Alive, which will finally arrive on DVD in a 2-disc special edition on September 25; while we've also received full specs and art for the German horror-thriller Antibodies (review), which hits retailers on August 28. Read on for full details on both releases!
Dark Syk Films writes Bloody-Disgusting about the upcoming long-delayed release of EATEN ALIVE: You may recall that late last year we delayed our Special Edition of Eaten Alive due to the poor condition of the master elements. Since then we have tracked down the remaining 35mm vault materials and conducted a new HD transfer from the 35mm dupe negative. We also found a vertiable host of trailers for the film's numerous other titles including an extremely rare Japanese trailer, TV spots, radio spots, alternate credits, foreign prints and audio languages, production stills, unused music tracks, and original screening comment cards, as well as producing a new featurette with actress Marliyn Burns. The biggest news came last week when producer extraordinaire David Gregory performed a candid interview with Tobe Hooper, who talked at great length about EATEN ALIVE. Fellow producer extraordinaire Michael Felsher -- who also produced both the Robert Englund and Marilyn Burns featurettes on the upcoming special edition-- will cut the final piece.
The specs for the release are:
Disc 1:
1.85 Anamorphic Widescreen feature, transferred and restored in HD from the last remaining 35mm vault material
