“The Outer Limits” Complete Original Series Coming to Blu-ray!
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture.
Stephen King once described “The Outer Limits” as being “the best program of its type ever to run on network TV,” and he’s surely not the only one who feels that way about the sci-fi anthology series. Inspired by “The Twilight Zone,” the Leslie Stevens-created series aired on ABC from 1963 to 1965, with a total of 49 episodes across two seasons.
The original series, which paved way for a revival many years later, has to date never been released onto Blu-ray… but that’s about to change!
We’ve just learned via Blu-ray.com that Kino Lorber will soon be releasing “The Outer Limits”: The Complete Original Series on Blu-ray. The site notes that the collection will actually be grouped into two individual sets, with Season 1 (32 Episodes – 8 Discs) expected to arrive later this year and Season 2 (17 Episodes – 5 Discs) planned for early 2018.
Misused inventions, interplanetary communication, and warped time peculiarities permeate the 1960s science fiction anthology program The Outer Limits. Created by Leslie Stevens, the program gained a rabid cult following and influenced a myriad of sci-fi that would follow, including a second Outer Limits series in the 1990s. This is the complete collection of all episodes of the original series.
The two box sets will be sourced from brand new HD masters.
One of contemporary horror’s best werewolf movies is 2017’s Good Manners, and it’s finally set to receive a proper physical media release.
Icarus Films is partnering with OCN Distribution to unleash a new Blu-ray that’s now available to preorder via Vinegar Syndrome. and with a limited edition slipcover.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
Good Manners is the second collaboration between filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, who write and direct. Zama’s Rui Poças‘ cinematography captures this unique werewolf tale described as “Disney meets Jacques Tourneur.”
Our own Trace Thurman wrote in his review, “With Good Manners, Rojas and Dutro have made one of the best werewolf movies ever made. That they are able juggle commentaries on racism and classism while still managing to tell two deeply affecting love stories is remarkable.”
