I loved this movie personally. Very much tuned into its wavelength.

Second Sight are releasing a standard edition Blu-ray.



Here's the press release:

RAW 'contender for best horror movie of the decade' gets Standard Edition Blu-ray release August 8th from Second Sight Films

RAW (2016)
Standard Blu-ray Edition
Released on August 8th 2022

Get ready for a second helping of Raw, as the deliciously dark tale of a strict vegetarian who discovers a taste for human flesh after heading to a brutal veterinary college where initiation ceremonies are the norm, gets a Standard Edition Blu-ray release thanks to Second Sight Films. This horror hit will be dished up on August 8th 2022.

BAFTA nominated and Palme d’Or winner Julia Ducournau's (Titane) shocking feature film debut was acclaimed by critics after a barnstorming debut at Toronto International Film Festival, where paramedics had to be called after audience members fainted at the film's premiere. Now, after wowing audiences on its initial release and its hugely successful Limited Edition, Second Sight has once again pulled the Raw ingredients together for the brilliant Raw Standard Edition release, that has a full menu of extras.

Shy student Justine (Garance Marillier – Warning, Titane), heads to a veterinary school and is subjected a tough series of hazing rituals from fellow students. And it's even tougher for vegetarian Justine as she is covered in blood and forced to eat raw meat. But after tasting the flesh, Justine finds herself craving even more meat - and it doesn't matter if it's animal or human as her uncontrollable desires lead to a horrific outcome.

Second Sight has produced a sumptuous buffet for your delectation, with features including interviews with star Garance Marilier and producer Jean des Forets, commentary from critic Alexandra West, as well as interviews and commentaries from Julia Ducournau and plenty more, this is a dish that tastes as good as it looks.

Looks like it'll have NO extras.

Hopefully the Second Sight special LE release, whenever it comes out, has just as many, if not more, extras as the Australian release.

I enjoyed it. I was kind of on edge expecting it to be way grosser than it was and when it was done, I was like, "Okay... that wasn't too gross." Oddly, the scene I thought was the grossest was the bathroom scene when she starts coughing up hair. Felt like I was going to gag, haha. Overall I liked it and am glad I saw it. The party scenes gave me more of a Refn feel, but Noe fits just as well.

Like I said, it's one of those movies that you finish and you go "Yeah, that was okay."

Maybe slightly better than okay, but not mindblowing. Lead actress was pretty damn intense at times!

Watched this last night and thought that it was pretty decent. Some moderately unsettling imagery, some interesting elements of black humor, and some good performances. At times, the party scenes specifically, it reminded me a bit of Gasper Noe's work, but not to the point where it felt like a rip off of anything. Not sure I loved the ending, though I will admit that the final twist was well done. It also reminded me how much I fucking hated frosh week and fraternity types when I was in college.

Ha... now listed in the US.

This has begun to happen somewhat often for me to when it comes to third party sellers on Amazon. I wonder if it is more common with scammers now or if the mail is fucking things up?

I don't know but the last two things I ordered from Europe never arrived. Refunds were never a problem so not a big deal really. Annoying though.

[The Silly Swede]

Never arrived. Got a refund.
