It's safe to say nothing is set in stone when it comes to mad old horror films!

When an official set-in-stone date is confirmed I will probably weep!

Will Tenebrae be the complete FULL UNCUT version e.g If you want the complete version of the movie:
- R2 Dutch and Scandinavian

or

Will it have minor losses like these If you are not bothered by minor losses (please read the William Lustig explanation below):
- R1 Anchor Bay seems to be the best, with its Anamorphic transfer, both English and Italian soundtracks, and significant extras.


Because I hope that it will be the complete FULL UNCUT version, otherwise I and many others will be Disapointed.

Artwork for this made my day cannot wait for this one I love this movie.

That Anchor Bay Collection release of Tenebrae (and Phenomena) is just the Roan Group transfer upscaled to 16:9, with some scratch-removal filters. It's not awful, but I'm sure Arrow can get something even better.

The Wildside Blu-ray is the best looking version of the film yet, so here's hoping they can get their hands on the same materials. Love the cover, too.

Yup, that french BD seems pretty awesome
Even though they have used a little bit DNR it don´t seem as heavy as on Arrows "Inferno".
Look at the screens on this page:
Land of Whimsy

So, yes, I also hope Arrow uses the same master

[Ashy]

That really is a nice looking transfer, I too hope its the one Arrow uses

[Steel76]

Almar, any hints about the transfer for the BD?
Is it the same one as the french?

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Yeah those shots DO look nice.
