The Original ‘Pet Sematary’ Comes to 4K Ultra HD in March!

Published

on

Mary Lambert, director of the 1989 adaptation of Pet Sematary, had noted late last year that she was working with Paramount to restore the film, so we assumed that a 4K Ultra HD release was coming in time for the new adaptation in April. And indeed Diabolik now lists Pet Sematary on 4K Ultra HD for pre-order in their shop, releasing March 26!

Amazon, at this time, is only listing a new Pet Sematary 30th Anniversary Blu-ray for release on that day, but we can only assume the 4K version will be added very soon.

Diabolik doesn’t yet list the special features for the 4K Ultra HD release, but Zoom‘s listing for the UK’s version of the release does seem to suggest what we’ll be getting in the US…

Disc 1 – 4K ultra HD + special features:

  • Fear and remembrance
  • A look back at this classic with the cast and crew of 2019’s Pet Sematary
  • Revisitation – new interview with Mary Lambert
  • Director Mary Lambert shares memories of the movie
  • 3 new behind the scenes image galleries
  • Never before seen storyboards
  • Commentary by director Mary Lambert

Disc 2 – Blu-ray + new and original special features:

  • Stephen King Territory. The characters. Filming the Horror

We expect official confirmation on all of this in the coming days.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

The horror-comedy Lisa Frankenstein is headed home to physical media, with the film zombie-walking its way onto DVD and Blu-ray from Universal on April 9, 2024.

Directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body), Lisa Frankenstein will also be available for a lower price on Digital beginning March 29.

Special Features include:

  • Audio commentary by director Zelda Williams
  • An Electric Connection featurette
  • Resurrecting the ‘80s featurette
  • A Dark Comedy Duo featurette
  • 5 deleted scenes
  • Gag reel

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting,” Billed as a coming-of-rage tale, Lisa Frankenstein instead offers a celebration of outcasts and weirdos.”

“It makes for a sugary sweet, almost wholesome effort held together by a trio of infectiously winsome performances,” Meagan’s review continued. She added, “As a celebration of teen girls and outcasts who just want to be loved, Lisa Frankenstein ultimately charms.”

Kathryn Newton (Freaky) and Cole Sprouse (“Riverdale”) lead the cast for Focus Features, and the new film is rated “PG-13” for “bloody images and sexual material.”

Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher), Liza Soberano (Alone/Together), Joe Chrest (Stranger Things) and Henry Eikenberry (The Crowded Room) also star.

In Lisa Frankenstein, “Set in 1989, the film follows an unpopular high schooler who accidentally re-animates a handsome Victorian corpse during a lightning storm and starts to rebuild him into the man of her dreams using the broken tanning bed in her garage.”

Here’s the full official plot synopsis: “A coming of RAGE love story about a misunderstood teenager and her high school crush, who happens to be a handsome corpse. After a set of playfully horrific circumstances bring him back to life, the two embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness… and a few missing body parts along the way.”
