Darkman - From The Writer of Navy Seals! Scream Factory's Blu-ray Details Revealed

Sorry about the lack of updates recently, my computer has been going shithouse for a couple weeks now so I've spent most of my time off "refreshing" my computer every couple of hours and getting a message that my hard drive failed a DST test, whatever the fuck that is. I've kind of got the thing sort of working now, so here we go.

Scream Factory's been a bit quiet on the news front over the holidays, but they've just shared the complete press release for their upcoming Collector's Edition Blu-ray of Sam Raimi's Darkman. Scheduled for release February 18th (I believe it was originally set for November or December before being pushed back a couple of months).

Directed by Sam Raimi, this explosive, action-packed thriller also stars Colin Friels (Dark City), Larry Drake (Dr. Giggles), Dan Hicks (Evil Dead 2) and Nicholas Worth (Swamp Thing) and features soundtrack by award-wining composer Danny Elfman.
