David Cronenberg’s mind-bending virtual reality epic eXistenZ is coming to 4K Blu-ray. The two-disc Vinegar Syndrome set will feature a number of special features and, for the adventurous, a gruesome flesh-textured slipcase. The set will feature an all-new 4K restoration of the 1999 film from its 35mm interpositive, letting you see the film’s gruesome special effects in unparalleled detail.

It will also feature a number of special features, both new and archival, including commentaries from Cronenberg, cinematographer Peter Suschitzky, visual effects supervisor Jim Isaac, and film historian Jennifer Moorman, as well as featurettes on the film and its cast. The limited-edition set will include all of these features, as well as a special flesh-textured slipcase and a perfect-bound book featuring essays on the film. The standard edition will retail for $34.99 USD, while the limited edition will sell for $44.99; both can be pre-ordered now on Vinegar Syndrome’s website.

edit: apparently it could be bought from their website but December is Partners Only month, so it is now hidden away. 🤷

    Cool. I think I also bought the Canadian DVD for the same reasons.

    I bought 101’s limited edition release of Rabid but their similar eXistenZ is too expensive, so I have been waiting…

      That’s the same DVD I bought just after seeing the film in the cinema. I think I chose it because it had the most extras, they were Canadian exclusive.
