Shout Factory has finally released the Robert Zemekis horror-comedy classic, Death Becomes Her, on Blu-ray.
This is the tale of two women, played by Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn, who find the secret to youth in a little magic bottle. Before they know it, they discover that this precious gift comes with dire consequences of both a physical and spiritual nature. Along the way, a plastic surgeon (Bruce Willis, in an absolutely hilarious performance) becomes involved in the plight of these two self-absorbed women in their quest for eternal beauty.
This film is both spooky and funny in all of the right ways - a perfect example of how a dark comedy should be conceived and executed. The performances from Streep, Hawn, and Willis are all top-notch. This isn't just a showcase for Zemekis' considerable technical skills behind the camera. Make no mistake, Death Becomes Her is a success on every level. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
Shout Factory has given the film the treatment that it deserves, with a making of featurette, interviews, a photo gallery, and a theatrical trailer. Fans of the film should purchase it immediately.
