I want you to watch the movie screen. There's something I want to show you.





My personal favorite, Arrow Video has been rocking out some amazing limited sets over the past year or so. Their Hellraiser Trilogy box set is simply to die for.





They've always put out a great product with excellent cover art and some of the best packaging on the market. Now comes their announcement of a special edition Donnie Darko set with a remastered 4K version of the cult film by Richard Kelly. For avid collectors like myself this is a must have re-release of the film on blu-ray that will be a vast upgrade from the domestic blu-ray. This will only be a UK release for now. So those of us with region free players couldn't be happier with the way this package looks or the potential of having a more advanced version of the film.









The set is released December 12, 2016.

Here's the specs from this Arrow Release:
