Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except (Upcoming Blu-ray)

Synapse have announced a new Blu-ray/DVD combo pack of the cult Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except (AKA Stryker's War), which features the Raimi brothers in acting roles and was directed by Josh Becker.  The pack is due on March 13th 2012.  I'm not a huge fan of the film myself though it's great that Synapse are putting out cult fan stuff such as this (personally I'd like to see Street Trash from them on Blu...).  Anyway the transfer will be a full HD restoration (scanned at 2K apparently) from negatives, and the disc will also feature the original 8mm short, a featurette, two audio commentaries, a Bruce Campbell interview, deleted scenes (with comm), etc.  A very well specified set with attractive (reversible) cover artwork from one of my favourite companies - check them out here.  I hope to be picking their new Intruder BD/DVD up soon.  They've also recently released Frank Henenlotter's Frankenhooker, though I'll be waiting for comparison to take place between that and the upcoming Arrow Blu-ray before deciding which one to buy.  Henenlotter fans should check out the Something Weird Blu-ray of Basket Case, which is a superb presentation of one of the genre's most original and insane films.
