The Blu-ray 4K disc is Region ALL. The bonus Blu-ray is Region B locked.
Comes in a stiff cardboard slipcase along with:
- a reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Eric Adrian Lee

- a booklet containing the original storyboards for "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer"
- a double-sided fold-out poster
- six collector’s postcards (Limited Edition exclusive)
Disc Replacement:
The 4K master approved by the director has a brief shot that incorrectly repeats over a different scene - this is also true of the French edition from Carlotta Films - and the Blu-ray copy is presented in the wrong color space. A replacement program is available from Arrow Films here. -
