It's been misunderstood, underestimated, and underappreciated over the years but it's only grown in critical acclaim and cult following. Now's the time to re-open the case on this 70s masterpiece.

Arrow Academy's stunning Region B-locked UK Blu-ray release is simply a blind buy purchase. You HAVE to have it. Compiling all the previous extras - together with some great new ones - it offers comprehensive supplements that are the icing on the cake beyond the outstanding authorised video presentation and audio track, both of which are amidst the best of their kind from this era. Fans should already have this on pre-order. Newcomers interested should not hesitate either."

Hopefully this will arrive in that box of replacement clears covers I've ordered from Arrow.

I haven't seen this gem since VHS I think.

What's happened to the steelbook of Tenebrae? I thought it was due out on Monday but Zavvi hasn't shipped it yet. Has there been a delay on this title?

Someone I know was parading their free copy about on Facebook last week so it's finished and ready, just an issue with Zavvi getting its stock, I guess. Mine has said "processing" or similar since Monday and I pre-ordered mine a month ago. Hey-ho.

Zaavi have no stock. The mailman probably nicked them like he did with my invasion of the Bodysnatchers!! Somewhere there's a cash converters with a glut of Tenebrae steelies they have no idea what to do with!

Seriously though, this is VERY poor communication from Zaavi. Considering the amount of E-mails I get bombarded with trying to sell me their stuff I don't see how hard it would be to send a generic e-mail to all the Tenebrae customers explaining why the discs are not shipping.

They spent enough securing exclusivity and this is just making them look bad.

Just dropped them a message on facebook. Hope they answer faster that way.

I sent a message to Zavvi asking why it had not shipped and got one back saying it gets released on 23/12/2013. Bit lacking in any apology for delay and at the time both their site and Arrow's said release date 16/12 still.
