That's the cover I remember, Tom.

My buddies and I used to quote this one all the time after we rented the tape in high school. I re-watched it last year via one of those cheap ass Mill Creek collections. I enjoyed it and will grab the blu for sure.

I haven't seen it since the VHS days, I think it was a Vestron tape? Either way, I don't remember it all that well aside from the fact that I dug it.

I'll pick it up depending on reviews. I'm not sure I've actually seen it. I remember seeing the video in pretty much every video store.

From the Code Red fb group:
Bruce Holecheck:
"Hrmm... According to Umbrella's product page, they'll be including "Deleted / Missing scenes with optional audio commentary" along with the "Original New Zealand 4:3 VHS cut." I'm starting to worry the main presentation might be a censored cut."

Long overdue for one of the very best 80's horrors and really an important film. More of Blyth's films need quality discs.

Umbrella Entertainment Releasing Death Warmed Up
*ANNOUNCEMENT*
Umbrella Entertainment is proud to announce, for the first time on Blu-ray, the notorious New Zealand splatter masterpiece, DEATH WARMED UP!
Directed by David Blyth (ANGEL MINE) and written by Michael Heath (NEXT OF KIN), DEATH WARMED UP was ground-zero for antipodean 80s horror/sci-fi and set the bar for stomach-churning ferocity. Carrying a stylish new-wave/punk energy ala LIQUID SKY colliding head-on with the gritty, no-holds-barred splatter of early Peter Jackson...but pre-dating BAD TASTE and BRAINDEAD by several years. DEATH WARMED UP did it first and with a rare, aggressive tone that gives the film a nihilistic edge over its peers of the slasher era and thus became a worldwide hit at film festivals and on VHS.
Mired in controversy upon release and dripping with in-your-face FX which saw it censored around the world, DEATH WARMED UP had conservatives outraged and horror fans in awe of its relentlessly grim and stylised atmosphere, winning awards and critical acclaim. In Paris at the 1985 International Festival of Fantastique Film and Science Fiction, surrealist maestro Alejandro Jodorowsky hailed DEATH WARMED UP as "an apocalypse of slaughter...seldom has the weight of image been so purposeful". Cue magazine simply called it, "the ugliest, most repulsive movie made in New Zealand"...
DEATH WARMED UP is coming to Blu-ray in April courtesy of Umbrella Entertainment and will be loaded with extras detailing the unusual path this film has travelled over the past 35 years. An absolute feast for fans of abrasive and bold cinema and another must-have for horror collectors.
