About this deal

Writer Eric Red had teased last year that 1986 classic The Hitcherwas finally getting a Blu-ray release, and the release was subsequently confirmed by Second Sight Films. Second Sight, the company behind the recent 4K Ultra HD release of George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, had unfortunately also revealed, however, that a 4K release would not be possible. a b Maltin, Leonard (2013). Leonard Maltin's 2014 Movie Guide. Penguin Press. pp. 625. ISBN 9780451418104. Maslin, Janet (February 21, 1986). "Terror on the Highways". The New York Times . Retrieved May 26, 2010. In addition, veteran character actors Billy Green Bush (known for playing ill-fated police officers in Electra Glide in Blue and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday), Gene Davis (known for playing the naked psychopathic killer Warren Stacy in 10 to Midnight), Armin Shimerman (who would later be the voice of General Skarr in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy), and Emmy-winner Henry Darrow, have supporting roles as police officers who pursue Jim Halsey. The UK-based company usually releases their Blu-ray products tied to European region coding, but their 4K versions have previously all been Region Free, which will be good news for U.S. fans of the thriller. There is no word on when exactly the release will happen, but knowing it is coming this year is probably good enough for most people, and we will now wait to discover what additional extras will accompany the new edition of the film.

Here, he joins Bartok and his mysterious delegation to raise the spirit of an ancient demon for a once-in-a-lifetime ritual. The Hitcher has been released on VHS, laserdisc and DVD. Its first DVD release had just the trailer as a special feature, then in 2003, Europe received a two-disc special edition DVD set, which was digitally remastered from the original negative.
