Nach dem Welterfolg von John Landis' Horror-Komödie AMERICAN WEREWOLF kam sein Debüt SCHLOCK nachträglich ins Kino!
Diese großartige Monsterfilm-Parodie war wegweisend für den schwarzen Humor des Werewolfs und den absurden Slapstick der DIE NACKTE KANONE-Filme.

Nach der gelungenen Zusammenarbeit bei BLUES BROTHERS vertraute John Landis uns die 4K-Abtastung und Blu-ray-Weltpremiere an: SCHLOCK startete vor 35 Jahren in deutschen Kinosälen.
Die Blu-ray und DVD im Mediabook erscheint zur Weihnachtszeit!

I can confirm this is the 2003 Landis/Baker commentary.

The 4k scan was approved by John himself and his feedback was: "The restoration looks great!"

I can second this. We pulled the original OCN from the Academy vaults and had it shipped to Germany (I think I am not spoiling anything by saying that this wasn't something the Academy liked - but it's something every library or archive absolutely hates) to do a 4k scan, which then got a new grading and was cleaned and perfected by hand, no automated grain or noise removal. It's absolutely gorgeous for a film of this age that wasn't shot on the most expensive stock available. I am tempted to say it never looked that good. And I am not saying this because I worked on it as the supervisor. I am just really happy it turned out to be in very good shape.

Plus we have a brand new interview with John on his early works with focus on SCHLOCK.

We also have various trailers, one fully restored to HD with material from the new print (the US trailer uses alternate footage, so we had to scan a contemporary print).

We even have a recipe for a great SCHLOCK cocktail, which will triple then fun when watching the film.

Yes, but got delayed over HELLRAISER TRILOGY and LEATHERFACE. It's going to be February very likely.
