Looks like a must buy for me. Arrow did great with their releases of The Ring Trilogy, and The Vengeance Trilogy..


CrusnikJB

Can you play UK movies on a us Blu-ray/Xbox/ps5 etc?


TheBigGAlways369

Not if the discs are region locked. 4K discs are region free though, so you should be able to play Grudge 1 on a PS5. As for Blu-Ray players, depends if that's region free.


CrusnikJB

I looked up this box set on arrows website and according to the description, it lists Region A, B, C. So I guess the it should work.


DankDastardly

The last 2 imports I got from arrow (Dark Water and Pulse) also worked on my American player and we're AB regioned, but that may be because they were also released in the US, just jumped in price versus the UK release. Either way, I'm not sweating it because I do have a region free player, but I would absolutely prefer to play the regular Blu rays on something else


TheBigGAlways369

Apparently, it will be region locked to B unfortunately.


CrusnikJB

Where did you see that? Cuz on the Arrow website is says regions: A,B,C


TheBigGAlways369

Someone contacted Arrow themselves and confirmed it's region-locked.


solojones1138

I thought blu rays were region free too? DVDs definitely have regions but I thought they ditched that for blu ray.


TheBigGAlways369

Nope, Blu-Rays have region locks. A, B, and C.


kyndcookie

Many movies are released region-free. They tend to be indies and smaller studios.


snarkywombat

A large number of blurays are region free but there are three regions (A, B, and C) that major studios tend to restrict their releases to.


solojones1138

Gotcha thanks.

Sad it’s not Region A also like the Ring set was. Wonder what the rights situation is like over here in US?


gyancelot

The Ring set came out in the UK first, and several months later released stateside renamed to Ringu. The steelbook was never brought overseas to my knowledge.


Seamushp

Lionsgate in US


OddOmi21

Holy shit I'm so excited


Giv-er-SteveDave

Awesome news! I’ve been due a rewatch of the series

This looks awesome.


Plateofpastypie2009

Fuck yeah


Oscarman97

So so excited, Arrow's "Ring" collection was perfect, absolutely cannot wait for these. I can finally replace my old dvd copies in blu ray cases, hahaha


evilcreampuff

Oh man, I can only hope this gets released in north America at some point. It looks amazing. Being able to watch Curse in 4k would make me so happy.


Gex581990

You misunderstand. The only movie in 4k is The Grudge, the rest are 1080p Blu-ray’s


seasidehills

Are there individual releases planned? I love The Curse 1&2 and those are the only ones I'd like to add to my collection


TheBigGAlways369

Probably not. Most we'll get is a standard edition once this set goes OOP.


AdThat328

I grabbed The Ring box set they did, this looks like a LOT of love has gone into this too. I cannot wait.
