  That’ll be great for the 6 people still left on Earth who never upgraded to DVDs or BluRay.

  I did not care for this movie. It was poorly written, tasteless, and had gratoiuois rib elbowing nostalgia references.

    gratoiuois rib elbowing nostalgia references

    That’s what killed it for me. Early on.I thought they’d be OK but they broke me and I, mentally, went “well you can fuck right off with this nonsense” and then they kept piling it on. It would have been bad in a cheap fan film and I have no idea what possessed them to do it.

  Ash looked so bad. I don’t understand, why they felt the need to make him look like Ian Holm instead of just casting a loving actor.

    I kinda liked the uncanny valley from it in this because it made him look more like an android

    Should have got Bruce Campbell obviously.

  I’d feel happier about this if VHS players were still being manufactured.

  Just realized how much I missed the pleasant sound of loading a cassette.

    Only top loading VHS players. Once we moved to front loaders the format was dead.

  When did people get nostalgic for the crappy analogue definition that was VHS? What’s next betamax special editions?

    It’s probably the format they watched when they were younger, which would be a major contributor to nostalgia. I still keep a VHS player and my parents’ old copies of the pre-special edition Star Wars movies along with Akira and Ghost in the Shell.

      pre-special edition Star Wars movies

      The despecialised editions are the real director’s cut fite me IRL.

      I remember programming the VCR when VHS was first a thing and I’m definitely not nostalgic for it. It was the best most people could afford at the time but it certainly wasn’t good.

  Quite useless.

    Ok. I respect the two dislikes on my comment, but I honestly ask you: what sense does it make to release a movie in VHS format in 2024?

    source

      I miss the old days so I get it and if it would be available in my region I’d buy it. Of the top of my head, VHS didn’t have unskippable trailers and warnings - just fast forward to the movie. Everything new is isn’t always better.

  Alien and the teenagers : I agree, a crappy movie need a crappy resolution.
