Strange occurrence yesterday at Borders. I went there knowing that Amazon has stated the Special Edition DVD has yet to be finalized, but still hoped. In the horror section while looking for the film, I noticed they had an Out of Print copy from the first printing of the film. In their last shipment, they recieved that. Funny stuff.
shareI just received my DARK SKY Special Edition DVD in the mail today. I bought it on ebay. A lot of the usual vendors don't seem to have it yet, but it is out.
shareI'll be glad when it comes out. I liked the movie, one of the better killer croc movies I've seen.

I just recieved a copy I bought off ebay for $9.99 and the DVD is great. I heard it won't be released in stores until some time in December.
How did you get the movie, when it's not even out yet? Or did you get the old version of Eaten Alive by Elite?

It's the Dark Sky Films edition. The DVDs have been made it's just not released in stores yet. I'm assuming the DVDs were delivered to the stores but then the release got postponed so they can't put them on the shelves yet. But online ebay stores are selling them. Here's the item # to the one I won.

I purchased the Dark Sky Films Special Edition DVD for this underrated shocker at a local horror convention in New Jersey in October. It's an excellent DVD with two theatrical trailers, a nice Robert Englund interview, a still and poster gallery, and an interesting and informative commentary by producer/co-screenwriter Mardi Rustam, make-up artist Craig Reardon, and cast members Kyle Richards, William Finley and Roberta Collins, all of whom relate lots of fun anecdotes about working on the movie. Bang-up digitally remastered print, too.

That's cool, hopefully the dvd will come out soon. I'd order from Ebay, but I don't trust that pay pal stuff. I've seen the Elite DVD at stores, but their is nothing on it except the movie. I think the Dark Sky version sounds better from what the above poster said ;)

Emerson offers the film in their 50 Horror Classics DVD set. It's in widescreen,but is a poor digital quality print. Plus I couldn't watch the end of it either because the DVD was scratched or just defective to begin with. Before it gets to the end the picture freezes and goes blurry with a poor digital quality and then goes back to the DVD menu. Tim
shareA word of warning! Don't buy the cheap $4.99 DVD of the film under its alternate title, Death Trap. It looks like it was transferred from an overplayed used VHS copy, complete with all the "wear lines" and tracking problems. I can do with unremastered picture quality, but this was just terrible. It was as if they didn't bother to even see if the tape-to-digital transfer would be watchable. Please people, spend the extra cash; you won't regret it!
shareIt's being re-released as a 2 disc special edition on sept 25 2007.
