It's The Burbs on Region 1 Blu-ray, finally!
on May 30, 2016

Rejoice! Rejoice!
I've been waiting for a Region 1 Blu-ray release of this for a very long time, and did not want to order any of the Region 2 options available on Amazon. I'm not going to review the movie because it's 27 years old and you should've seen it and fallen in love with it by now. I will only tell you what the disc contains, since there's no information listed on the store page: in addition to the movie, you get an alternate ending and the teaser trailer, both of which can be found on Youtube already. So if you were hoping that the first U.S. Blu-ray release of this masterpiece would feature some decent extras, then hope no more, and let's just be grateful that we finally get any release at all. The picture and sound quality are what you'd expect from a film from 3 decades ago; this is not a remaster or anything like that. But it's The freakin' 'Burbs, and you need it, right now.

For $9.99 I'm happy to add The 'Burbs to my BR collection at long last, even if it is just a bare-bones release. Cheers.
