    Really like this one, may splash out on the limited rather than wait for a standard version.
    I'm bitter, I'm twisted, James Joyce is fucking my sister.

      somehow I always anticipated that indicator might release this, but it never happenend. I bet that new 4k scan isn't an aussie exclusive, so I'll wait for a UK (or US) label to pick it up.

        Really good film, but I prefer the novel. Straub is criminally underrated.

                ...aaand the next one is from Le Chat Qui Fume. 4K also. I guess when someone announces it the rest also do to stop people buying the other editions. I wonder if there'll be a UK release?

                  Both are great. The film is amongst my top 50 horror movies. And the book is my favorite from Straub. I will say one significant difference is that the girl is way more sinister and perverse in the latter.
                  VHS will never die!

                    I think my favorite Straub novel is Ghost Story. The film is pretty good but they (understandably) left a lot out. The novel is so dense and layered.

                      And now BFI are releasing a 4k UHD in the UK. Saves me importing.

                        I think BFI wins for the cover art.

                            Here's the full press release for the Shout! Factory release.

                            The Haunting of Julia

                            Long Out of Print Cult Favorite Makes its 4K UHD and Blu-ray Debut April 18, 2023 from Scream Factory™

                            Based on the novel Julia by Peter Straub, the atmospheric supernatural thriller The Haunting of Julia (aka Full Circle) has developed a cult following amongst film fans for its intelligent yet deeply chilling take on a modern ghost story.

                            Never before available on DVD or Blu-ray in the US, this long-sought after film will be available on physical media for the first time in decades as a 4K UHD+Blu-ray combo pack on April 18, 2023 from Scream Factory. The Haunting of Julia features a new 4K restoration from the original negative as well as a bevy of brand-new bonus features including an Audio Commentary by director Richard Loncraine and film historian Simon Fitzjohn, an interview with actor Tom Conti, an interview with actress Samantha Gates, the featurette Park Life where Simon Fitzjohn revisits the locations from the film, featurette A Haunting Retrospective with film critic/author Kim Newman, and more! Fans can pre-order their copies now by visiting ShoutFactory.com

                            In The Haunting of Julia, Magnus and Julia Lofting (Keir Dullea, Black Christmas), and Mia Farrow, Rosemary’s Baby) suffer a tremendous shock one morning when their daughter Kate (Sophie Ward, The Hunger) begins choking. Unsure what to do, Julia attempts a tracheotomy, inadvertently causing Kate's death. The tragedy sends Julia to a hospital to recover, but when Magnus asks that she come home, she prefers to buy a new house in London to live alone. Magnus begins pondering Julia's fragile sanity, while Julia becomes convinced that her house is haunted by the spirit of a little girl.
