A Tale of two versions of "The Fury"

By November 22, 2013No Comments

Back in the Spring of this year, I expressed some reser­va­tions on the Twilight Time Blu-ray disc of Brian DePalma’s 1978 The Fury, and prom­ised to do some invest­ig­at­ing once a new ver­sion of the title from Arrow appeared. And so I did. But I did it for the New York Times, as a guest DVD colum­nist, and the res­ults of my research are here. Enjoy!

    Thanks, Glenn, I really enjoyed this piece. I had second thoughts after skip­ping the TT blu of the film, as I am merely an admirer of THE FURY, not a lov­er, but thisx is pre­cisely the sort of dif­fer­ence I like to know about when mul­tiple releases are available.
    I appre­ci­ate TT’s work des­pite the premi­um pri­cing and stark lack of extras, and Arrow defied all my ori­gin­al skep­ti­cism after their awful early Fulci discs, going on to release some fuck­ing great discs over the past year (keep those Bava’s com­ing). If bet­ter com­mu­nic­a­tion between com­pet­it­ors in this shrink­ing space of film releas­ing can help ensure their mutu­al sur­viv­al and future releases, I hope they can make it happen.
