Sweet, right?!

Well, it gets better. As an added bonus for AITH fans today, attached are pics from the flick from Red's personal collection AND we have a quote from the man himself regarding the release. Check them out below along with the movie's original theatrical poster and let us know if you plan to snag a copy on Bluray once it hits!

Eric Red on BODY PARTS Blu-ray release:

“For years, the movie of mine I’ve most wanted to have a Blu Ray release is BODY PARTS. Now with the upcoming Shout Factory Blu Ray, it’s finally happening. BODY PARTS is the most visually stylish and gruesomely action-packed of all the movies I’ve directed. For the first time since it played in theaters, you can experience the movie in all its gory glory like we intended. Transferred in the original dynamic widescreen anamorphic 2:35, all the supercharged action, bloody gore and eye-popping camerawork is in high-definition in-your-face detail. The terrifying soundtrack’s orchestral music and scary sound design will assault your ears to the fullest extent. Plus the disk will be loaded with terrific Special Features including shocking uncut gruesome Special Makeup Effects sequences, Behind-The-Scenes Stills and of course my Director Commentary telling all about the making of the movie. Shout Factory released two of my other movies BAD MOON and COHEN AND TATE on Blu Ray and did amazing jobs with the disks, AND I’m so happy they are doing BODY PARTS. Make lots of popcorn because this is that kind of fun audience movie, a roller coaster thrill ride about to have its ultimate home presentation.”

The movie centers on 

A man who fears he is possessed by the soul of the serial killer whose arm he received in an experimental transplant.

BODY PARTS is directed by Eric Red from a screenplay he co-wrote along with Norman Snider based on a story by Patricia Herskovic and Joyce Taylor based on Choice Cuts by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. Frank Mancuso Jr. produced the film which starred Jeff Fahey, Kim Delaney, Zakes Mokae, and Brad Dourif. Paramount Pictures unleashed the flick into theaters back on August 2, 1991. 

Scream Factory estimates that BODY PARTS will hit Blu-ray in January 2020. Stay tuned and we will pass along updates as we hear them!
