• Piranha 2 UK Blu-Ray

    Yes, James Cameron's finest film has hit UK BD.

    The story in a nutshell. A tourist resort in the carribean finds
    themselves being attacked by flying Piranha fish, that can live out of
    the water. Whilst the local police cheif, played by Lance Henricksen,
    tries to stop them.

    The BD comes in a nice slipcase, with the US artwork and title "Piranha
    2 : The Spawning" on it. The Blu-Ray cover however has reversible
    artwork, with the US art and title on one side, and the UK title
    "Piranha 2 : Flying Killers" on the other.

    Extras are a little sparse, containing only a trailer. Was delighted to
    see the trailer had the Flying Killers title on it, but was dissapointed
    that it appeared to have been downloaded off YouTube, judging by the
    extremely low resolution of it.

    I mean, why is it no one seems to bother remastering the trailers for
    their releases these days? DVD trailers were taken from the original
    35mm trailer reels, whereas BD trailers now seem to be low-res crap
    swiped off the internet. Companies seem to go to all this trouble to
    make the film look as good as possible, yet put no effort into the
    trailers?

    This aside, I was also very pleased to see that the print the Blu-Ray
    was mastered from had the "Flying Killers" sub-title on it, which
    delighted me no end. Always preffered that one to The Spawning, which
    just seemed dull.

    I haven't seen the film since it was first released on VHS and recall it
    being rather dull. With the new Blu ray release I may give it another go.
