The 1983 fantasy-sci-fi hybrid film, Krull, initially struggled at the box office and received poor critical reviews upon its release. However, over the years, it has quietly garnered a dedicated cult following. For long-time fans, or for newcomers eager to experience this distinctive 80s movie, Krull will be available for the first time on 4K Blu-ray, specifically the Steelbook Edition, priced at $40, starting September 16.
This 4K Steelbook set includes the film in 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and digital formats. Enhanced with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, it promises an optimal viewing experience for the rewatch. The special edition also boasts an attractive steelbook case with unique artwork on its exterior and interior, making it a stylish addition to any collection, surpassing the quality of older DVD versions. Preorders offer the benefit of potential price reductions before release, with no payment processed until the disc is dispatched.

While the bonus features list isn`t as extensive as some other steelbook releases, it still provides valuable insights. The set offers several documentaries and featurettes, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the film`s production, along with various commentary tracks from those involved.
