‘BURBS, THE: COLLECTOR’S EDITION

THE ‘BURBS: COLLECTOR’S EDITION REVIEWED

“The ‘Burbs” or the Burbs was always on TV when I was young. It lasted all of two or three weeks at our local theater. That summer, it was either Batman or Last Crusade. Nothing else could hang with those two powerhouses. I’m still a fan of the movie and I went out of my way to import the Arrow UK Blu-ray as soon as it was available. Comparing that disc to this one, I have to give Shout the slight advantage on the transfer. The big sticking point is how the special features are virtually identical. Ultimately, that’s the split here.

If you’re in the UK, you’re good with the Arrow release. Everyone else will want to give the Shout release a chance. If it’s needed, we’ll bring back screenshots for these multi-region releases as time permits. Would you guys like that?
