What’s the best way to celebrate an unnecessary remake of a classic film? By watching the original! In anticipation of Rod Lurie’s new and shiny September 16th release of STRAW DOGS comes the Blu-ray of Sam Peckinpah’s violent and disturbing classic. We’ve got the box art and the (slim) featurettes for you here.
The STRAW DOGS Blu-ray has been carefully restored and is presented with all-new 5.1 audio. It will contain the original theatrical trailer and three original TV spots. And that’s all. But the movie is the most important thing, so if you haven’t experienced it yet, you’ll want to ASAP.
The synopsis:
To escape the Vietnam-era chaos in the U.S., American mathematician David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman) moves with his British wife Amy (Susan George) to an isolated English village. Their presence provokes antagonism among the village’s men. Escalating from routine bullying to vicious brutality, David finds his pacifist self being backed into a corner and responds in the violent and gruesome manner he abhors.
