Scream Factory recently unleashed 1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers on a Collector's Edition Blu-ray, and soon Warner Bros. will release Abel Ferrara's 1993 adaptation of Jack Finney's seminal novel on Blu-ray.
Blu-ray.com reports that Body Snatchers (1993) will be released on Blu-ray with a brand new remaster by Warner Archive. According to Amazon, the Blu-ray will come out on October 18th. Below, we have a look at the cover art, official synopsis, and list of special features.
From Blu-ray.com: "Synopsis: Don't sleep. Don't ever sleep. That's when it happens. That's when tentacles leave the alien pod and enter your ears and nostrils. Soon you're not you anymore. You've been taken over, a victim of Body Snatchers.
A science-fiction classic gets an eerie, modern update in this spellbinder inspired by 1956's Invasion of the Body Snatchers and from the producer of the 1978 remake. Advances in screen special effects now enable director Abel Ferrara (King of New York, Bad Lieutenant ) and his crew of wizards to depict the actual birthing of a pod – and its devastating effect on the human host. Who says there's no rest for the wicked? As stars Gabrielle Anwar, Terry Kinney, Forest Whitaker and Meg Tilly discover, no one rests when the only way to sleep is to keep one eye open. And one foot out the door.
Special Features:
- NEW 2016 remaster
- Original trailer
- Optional English SDH subtitles"
