Well that looks both fantastic and horrible at the same time, judging from the trailer.
I liked Possessor somewhat though, so I shall have to check this out."No presh from the Dresh!"

Saw it yesterday. It's not an easy watch (particularly at 2 hours in an uncomfortable theater seat) but it's intriguing and has many interesting ideas and scenes. Not sure I really get it yet, but it's already stirring in my mind. It reminded me of INLAND EMPIRE. One pretty big complaint: for some reason there are several characters who speak with heavy foreign accents and I did miss some dialogue because of it. Also, the orgy sequence was rendered somewhat incoherent by the MPAA trims. So with that said, I'm looking forward to revisiting it on BD, uncut and with subtitles.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

I'm not sure that's a UHD release, Ian? Diabolik specifically calls it out as a BluRay, and so does Amazon, sorta.
Regardless, I'll be waiting for the NC-17/Unrated cut. I know of two specific trims, and one of them was quite noticeable. I still liked the film (albeit not as much as Possessor) but not buying a known compromised edit. Just a matter of how long Neon will make us wait.

Pre-order link for the RA Blu-ray edition, looks like it has an R-rating so maybe not uncut?

I wanted to hold off for the uncut version that I keep seeing mentioned but I really wanted to see this and wound up just watching the R-rated version. Having seen it I can say that I really don’t think a longer version of this thing is going to be any better, I’m not even sure if I’ll ever bother seeing it again in any form. For me it was just one of those movies that seems like it was made so that everything in it feels tedious and takes way too long to happen; it’s so boring. All of the characters were annoying too, towards the beginning I felt bad for the main character but before long I couldn’t care less about about or root for them. Then the ending was so blah and underwhelming that it made it all feel even more pointless. At the same time the movie finally ending was such a welcome thing that I didn’t really care how it ended at that point, only that it was finally over. My ability to hope that it got better or that this or that would happen completely evaporated about 30 minutes before the end; I haven’t experienced this level of boredom and frustration with a movie since Antichrist or Mandy! It’s a shame too because the concept that this movie was centered around was a cool one but it really seems like it was wasted here.
