WRONG TURN And WRONG TURN 2

As Fans Test Their Stomachs In A Paralyzing Virtual Experience! 

 

LOS ANGELES, CA – This Halloween… make a play date with Chucky, join a book club with Annie, have an old 

friend for dinner with Hannibal, or go camping with Three-Finger.  Twentieth Century Fox and MGM Home 

Entertainment unearth a selection of frightening film favorites in haunting high-definition when CHILD’S PLAY

MISERY, HANNIBAL LECTER ANTHOLOGY, WRONG TURN and WRONG TURN 2 arrive on Blu-ray Disc 

(BD) September 15. 

 

First, Chucky goes high-definition when the soul of a serial killer who isn’t ready to die uses his voodoo skills to 

inhabit an innocent looking doll in CHILD’S PLAY.  From the Director of Fright Night, this “clever, playful” 

(The New York Times) thriller with “excellent special effects” (Leonard Maltin) and heart-pounding suspense takes 

playtime to a new level of terror on stunning BD + DVD Combo!  The high-def horrors continue in the  

heart stopping, Academy Award®-winning, MISERY, also on BD + DVD Combo.  Adapted from a Stephen King 

story by Oscar®-winning screenwriter William Goldman (All the President’s Men) and directed by Rob Reiner  

(A Few Good Men), this chiller follows maniacal fan, Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates; Titanic), as she “rescues” famed 

novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan; The Godfather) from a car accident and holds him hostage.  What follows is an 

epic physiological thriller that portrays “a Hitchcockian kind of cat-and-mouse” (The New York Times) game played 

between two cunning minds.  

 

Witness the birth of evil in spine tingling clarity, as the eerie and intense HANNIBAL LECTER ANTHOLOGY 

captures MANHUNTER, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and HANNIBAL together on stunning Blu-ray Disc for 

the first time.  MANHUNTER, the intense thriller from writer-director Michael Mann (Heat, Public Enemies), first 

introduced the world to the cunning, unforgettable serial killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter.  The psychological horror 

continues in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS with Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins (The Elephant Man, Nixon) as 

the sophisticated murderer, alongside Oscar® winner Jodie Foster (Maverick, Contact) as FBI agent Clarice Starling, 

who liaisons with the killer in order to solve a murder case.  Lastly, Hopkins is “perverse perfection” (Rolling Stone) 

in his reprisal of the role of Dr. Lecter in HANNIBAL, as he comes out of hiding to draw FBI agent  

Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore; Boogie Nights) into a high-stakes battle that will test her strength, cunning and 

loyalty. 

 

Finally, the cannibalistic carnage continues as the WRONG TURN and WRONG TURN 2: DEAD END make their 

graphic Blu-ray Disc debut.  The indescribable nightmare depicts the fight for survival against a family of hideously 

deformed inbred cannibals who plan to ruthlessly butcher everyone.

$24.99 U.S. / $25.99 Canada each, the WRONG TURN and WRONG TURN 2: DEAD END Unrated

Seems to be a nasty trend with this format to package exclusive films in sets with previously released titles.

Lets see.  I really want Manhunter, yet I already have Silence of the Lambs and you couldn't pay me to watch Hannibal again.  Oh brother, please tell me these will be in individual cases at least so I can throw the duplicate and unwanted titles up on Ebay.

I don't suppose there's any word on which version of "Manhunter" this is going to be. There were three or four different edits of this floating around at various points. Here's hoping it's the original, theatrical cut.

I'm hoping Manhunter gets an individual release at one point. It is irritating when the studios only box certain titles together and do not sell them alone.  The recent Crouching Tiger set was bad form on Sony's part.  It is one thing to release box sets; but to make one individual title only available in a set that has already released titles, that is wrong.

My guess is we'll have to wait a bit for the individual releases of MANHUNTER and HANNIBAL (which I wouldn't buy, but will probably look great on BD). Have to admit, when I saw the thread title I got excited thinking it might be something a bit older, like a few Hammer classics...
