There are certain words and phrases you don’t expect to find yourself ever writing. For example, “Scream Factory will release a collector’s edition Blu-ray of Piranha II: The Spawning.” Yet, here I am writing just that.
Scream Factory will release a collector’s edition Blu-ray of Piranha II: The Spawning.
Piranha II: The Spawning is really only famous for three things:
Meanwhile, The Abyss and True Lies have yet to debut on Blu-ray, but here we are getting what Cameron himself has sarcastically described as “the best damn flying piranha movie ever made.”
Synopsis:
While investigating the mysterious death of a diver, scuba instructor Anne Kimbrough (Tricia O’Neil) makes a horrific discovery: Piranha-like fish, with wings that enable them to fly, are responsible for the death. As the body count rises, Anne desperately tries to convince the manager of the resort to call off the annual fish fry on the beach, but he’s determined to give his guests the ultimate feeding frenzy.
Scream Factory has announced a collector’s edition Blu-ray of Piranha II: The Spawning on January 30th. They have confirmed this collector’s edition will come with a slipcover and boast a newly restored HD transfer in its proper aspect ratio of the uncut version of the sequel previously seen on a rather murky DVD release.
Extras and specs have not yet been announced. Going out on a limb and guessing a new interview or commentary track with James Cameron will not be amongst those extras, and if it is, then this will be THE must-own Blu-ray of 2018.
