Amazon already has it up for pre-order, priced at $39.95, but with Amazon's Pre-order Price Guarantee, the price could drop quite a bit before release and pre-order buyers will get the lowest price it hits before the day of release. That's what I'm banking on because I've just pre-ordered it!

Cool! I have a grade Z copy of a tape on dvd. I think this movie was the inspiration for Dean Kuntz's "Phantoms".

Been awhile since I saw this film, I may still have it on disc somewhere. Pretty disturbing for its day.
