Pretty Packaging: The SOCIETY Limited Edition Looks Icky, And That's Great!
(Arrow Video have not been mucking about with this one...)
That Arrow Video has become one of the finest labels in Europe will be no longer a surprise: its ascent to that position actually happened about two years ago already. What is surprising is just HOW good they can be exactly, when they really roll up their sleeves. Several times already, they have taken niche titles and elevated them to must-haves, by including extras which give necessary historical context, and packaging which manages to up the "coolness" factor. Last year's release of Nekromantik comes to mind, for example.
In short: when Arrow Video announces a Special Limited Edition, you prick up your ears and take notice.
And now they've flexed their muscles on Brian Yuzna's infamous satirical horror Society, and I'm very, very happy. After a lengthy wait (an earlier planned release by another company ended up being cancelled), fans of the film can now prepare to be spoiled rotten. It's a stellar package which also happens to look great. Earlier this week, J. Hurtado covered this releases' contents in his Blu-ray review, and he was very, very happy as well.
In this article, however, I will focus on the release's looks. Here is a gallery detailing the packaging this title got. Click on the edge of the images to go to the next slide, or in the center to get a bigger version.
Do note that this release is limited to just 3,000 copies, so if you like what you see here, you'd better hurry...
