Suture is not a movie I would review for my website, let alone sit down and watch. However, after being given the opportunity to review the latest Blu-ray release of Suture from Arrow Video, I am glad that I gave this flick of chance.

There was also a commentary with the directors, some deleted scenes with commentary, a short film by the directors David Siegel and Scott McGehee, a pretty good sized booklet, and finally some trailers. It certainly isn't as featured packed as some releases, but the video presentation alone makes up for any issues I had with
