Criterion has announced its latest classic for Blu-ray release, setting a late-July date for Roman Polanski's 'Repulsion.'
The highly-influential 1965 horror-art film, which helped usher in a new wave of psychological fear cinema and introduced Stateside audiences to star Catherine Deneuve, will receive its Blu-ray debut on July 28.
Tech specs will see a BD-50 dual-layer disc with 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video (1.85:1) and an uncompressed PCM 1.0 Mono track.
Extras include audio commentary (with Polanski and Deneuve), the "A British Horror Film" documentary, a 1964 television documentary, the trailer and a booklet.
