It is arguably a decent attraction to get people to invest in physical copies of their films. Sadly, genre films are the only types that seem to invest in these interesting features any longer. The biggest budget film in recent memory to do a feature commentary wasMatt Reeves’That Batman. Maybe it is a relic of a time long since past, but if there is a movie that benefits from such an addition, it’sLonglegs.
