5/29 UK Blu-Ray Details For "PUPPET MASTER”

Coming August 20, the disc (PAL Region B) will present the original terrifying-toy saga in 1080p and 16x9-enhanced 1.85:1 widescreen. In addition, “The Blu-ray will come with an exclusive commentary by Justin Kerswell, slasher expert extraordinaire and author of TEENAGE WASTELAND [out this week in the U.S. as THE SLASHER MOVIE BOOK], moderated by yours truly,” genre-disc specialist Calum Waddell reveals to Fango. “It’s a fun and insightful commentary that really contextualizes PUPPET MASTER in terms of its European feel—[frequent Lucio Fulci collaborator] Sergio Salvati was the cinematographer—its relationship to the VHS slasher era and how the franchise developed as a video staple. Also, the new 88 print is amazing; I don’t think anyone realizes quite how beautiful the film actually is, but they will!”
