Scream Factory: New 2K Restoration of Michael Crichton's Coma Detailed for Blu-ray

Scream Factory has detailed its upcoming Special Edition Blu-ray of Michael Crichton's Coma (1978), starring Michael Douglas, Geneviève Bujold, Elizabeth Ashley, Rip Torn, and Richard Widmark. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on August 22.

Description: Ten cases. Now 12. Why are young, healthy patients admitted for minor surgery at Boston Memorial Hospital ending up on life support? Dr. Susan Wheeler wants to know. Somebody else wants her dead.

Long before he created ER, Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, Twister) adapted and directed this medical chiller based on Robin Cook's bestseller. Geneviève Bujold plays Wheeler, trailing clues, clambering along ductways, hiding among morgue cadavers, infiltrating the eerie Jefferson Institute (an unforgettable marvel of spooky technology) and persuading her skeptical boyfriend and fellow doctor Mark (Michael Douglas) that her suspicions are not merely paranoia. For thriller fans, Coma is heart-poundingly good medicine.
