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.
