DVD CANCELLED

This was not cancelled evedentally I pre-ordered my copy from amazon.com at the beginning of the month. Just got mine in the mail on Monday April 20, 2009. The back says Synergy Entertainment & MVD Visual. Obviously MVD had it ready for release & cancelled it at the last min. Then Synergy picked it up & released it. Synergy known for releasing cheap DVDR's this is great & amazing. I am shocked & so happy! The second Disc has 2 hrs. worth of bonus features! amazing stuff some of the bonus material was on the 2006 AOVA release 2-Disc DVD-R Set called "The Giant Spider Invasion Revisited 30th Anniversary 2-Disc" That one has an audio commentary also which goes with the Theatrical Cut. So now I got 2 different commentaries! But the stuff on this new 2009 release one is much better quality. Also alot of the stuff has some footage then is longer & complete like when Mr. Rebane takes big fan Corey J. Udler into the woods to show him the remains of the metal spider frame. The footage is longer here. Seem I get alot more extras too that I have never seen on this new 2-Disc! Disc 1 has the movie a nice clean crisp film print of the movie supposed to be The Director's Cut it runs about 76 mins. & some seconds. Which I don't understand Director's Cuts are supposed to be longer then the theatrical cuts. The 2002 Retromedia DVD Release which I also own, runs a little under 80 mins. Same version which is on the 30th Anniversary Revisited 2-Disc DVD-R Set. This version on the 2009 release I have never seen. Always ran into copies of the other a little under 80 mins. The back of the DVD Case says 84 mins. which is wrong I have always seen that screw up run time said about the film for either version. Also states "Plus 112 mins. of bonus extras". Which I checked it was 2 hrs. & 16 mins. worth. I just ran through the Discs didn't really watch them yet will soon though. This has to be my favorite Cult Movie of all time! I have all 4 different DVD releases of it. In 2005 it was released as part of the 2-Disc Collection "Invasion Of Terror" Which featured that & another Sci-Fi Cult Classic from Rebane "Invasion From Inner Earth" released in 1974. Nice copy of that too & has a choice of 2.0 Stereo or 5.1 Surround same with Spider Invasion on that one. Brentwood Home Video put these out, also includes 2 other films that are Horror Movies not from Bill Rebane though. They are both doubled sided discs. This new 2009 one here we get on Disc 1 a Slide Show Image Gallery & a feature length audio commentary with Producer/Director Mr. Bill Rebane. I admire this man so much for what he went through without a script & during the production of the movie. Also not only that. I love his films I have seen all his 70's Sci-Fi Flicks also own them all. I have yet to see his 80's Horror Efforts. Obviously too have seen Monster A-Go Go (1965) which Mr. Hershell Gordon Lewis finished & ruined cause Rebane didn't have the money to finish it. I like Lewis Films also. Didn't really care for Monster A-Go Go, all that much it was allright though. Spider Invasion is my favorite of Rebane's films. Cause of what he went through during the production. More so cause it is a homage or throwback to 50's Sci-Fi Giant Spider Films. The 2009 2-Disc as well includes a neat condensed 8mm Version of the film on Disc 2. This 2-Disc is well worth the 18 something I payed for via amazon.com This King Of Cult Classic Films finally gets it's just goods & they are delivered fantastically here! For u movie fans this film isn't as bad as some may think. I have seen worse Low-Budget Sci-Fi & Horror Efforts. Made for around 300,000 Dollars it went on to Gross over 24 Million Dollars how is that for a Drive-Inn Low-Budget Sci-Fi Picture. Johnny Carson mentioned it on one of his shows in 1975. U probably already know it was in the Top 50 Grossing Films of 1975. What else can I saw get this 2-Disc it's well worthy of a great Cult Classic still admired today!

It is now available as a 3 Disc set from VCI. Disc 1 Blu-Ray of film plus a few extras. Disc 2 is a DVD of more Extras and Disc 3 is a CD of 'The Giant Spider Invasion The Musical'.
