Demons: The Official Announcement

[Sarah@Cult Labs]

Demons (Arrow Video) Limited Edition Blu-ray



Live and direct, straight from HELL!

Lamberto Bava and Dario Argento bring you THE Gonzo Horror movie of the 1980s with Demons, a frenzied slice of gore heavy shock cinema that gives up on logic and instead assaults the screen with a riot of X-Rated violence, face chewing Zombies and pounding Heavy Metal.

In a mysterious cinema, an audience are watching a brutal horror flick when the horror rips out of the screen, unleashing a swarm of slathering Demons who are intent on spreading their evil plague across the globe.

Time to tool up and take no prisoners... The Demons are coming!

Excellent array of extras - definitely looks like it'll have been worth the wait.

Is there anything different with the 'Limited Edition' dvd version or is it just going to be limited stock before it gets replaced by a cheaper ArrowDrome version? Since the bluray's also limited edition (before it gets replaced by the Arrow Unlimited version) is it just the case that the dvd cover was made with 'Limited Edition' on it before Arrow Unlimited was created?

Exactly that, just limited stock before, presumably, getting replaced by an ArrowDrome version.

Thought as much, just seemed a little odd that it states it on the dvd but I suspect that's for reasons I edited into my original post Thanks for the clarification Sarah!

No, it says it on the dvd, at the top.

I just noticed that and was about to edit/delete my post

Great news, but... dvd £15.99(cool) Blu £27.99(not so cool) by my mediocre maths that's a 75% bump in price. In these times a dvd for me then. (yeah, I know it's only rrp but still...)

Demons for £17.99 on bluray


Demons 2 for £11.99 on bluray

both from Amazon. Very fair prices if you ask me.

I honestly doubt you'd need to pay anywhere near those prices once the stores advertise these releases. Paying up to £20 for a steelbook is just normal and the normal Arrow Blu's sit around the £14.99 mark on preorders so I guess Demons will be around £17.99 as it seems to have a slightly higher RRP to their other releases.

EDIT: I was right, £17.99 at amazon.co.uk although Demons 2 is only £11.99, I'd grab that preorder before it goes up a load.
