  • Contamination Blu from Arrow coming in June

    Arrow's US distributor jumped the gun an posted the specs for their June releases and this is one of them:
    Contamination Blu Ray/DVD
    Luigi Cozzi's Contamination takes the premise of Ridley Scott's classic Alien and peppers it with exploding guts galore
    List Price: $39.95

    Branded as a "video nasty" in the UK, director Luigi Cozzi's Contamination takes the premise of Ridley Scott's classic Alien and peppers it with exploding guts galore and a dangerously infectious soundtrack from celebrated Italian prog-rockers Goblin (Deep Red, Suspiria). A cargo ship drifts up the Hudson River. Its crew: all dead, their bodies horribly mutilated, turned inside out by an unknown force. Its freight: boxes upon boxes of glowing, pulsating green eggs. It soon becomes clear that these eggs are not of this planet, and someone intends to cultivate them here on Earth. But who? And to what end? Starring Italian horror veteran Ian McCulloch (Zombie Flesh Eaters), Contamination is an ultra-violent sci-fi epic that really gets under the skin. In space, no one can hear you scream - but on Earth, the terror rings loud and clear!

    High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentation

        This is a massive improvement over the BU DVD! I've just finished a (6,000 word - whew!) review with some screengrabs comparing the Blu-ray with BU's DVD: http://www.dvdcompare.net/review.php?rid=3756
