The 1972 film “Raw Meat” [aka “Death Line”] is coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray on September 30th via Blue Underground. Gary Sherman directed and co-wrote the film. It starred Donald Pleasence, Christopher Lee, David Ladd, Sharon Gurney, and James Cossins.

The movie has received a new restoration from a 4K scan [16-bit] from the original, uncensored camera negative. The tech specs for the 4K release include a 2160p video presentation in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision or HDR10 form of high dynamic range. It will include Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround, and DTS-HD Master Audio 1.0 Mono sound. Tech specs for the Blu-ray include a 1080p HD video presentation in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio with the same audio mixes as listed for the 4K release. The 4K will come as a “combo pack” with its Blu-ray Disc counterpart included.
