Garv’s Pick of the Week: Army of Darkness (4K UHD, Scream Factory)
For the release week of October 4th:
Army of Darkness [4K UHD-Blu-ray / Scream Factory]: I know. I know. Did we really need another home video release of Sam Raimi’s Army of Darkness (a.k.a. Evil Dead III)? Probably not, but this set sounds pretty cool. Scream Factory’s Collector’s Edition contains a new 4K restoration of the Theatrical Cut from the original camera negative, approved by by director Sam Raimi, director of photography Bill Pope, and editor Bob Murawski. The Theatrical Cut is provided on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray. Then, the Director’s Cut and International Cut are provided in HD on Blu-ray. Finally, the Television Version with additional footage is provided on one of the Blu-rays in standard definition. The set is also stacked with previously produced special features. This should be the ultimate home video version of the film… until the next one is released.
