I think what Dem meant was that the vast amount of bad HD masters for Italian films should stay on DVD.
But yes, these films certainly have the potential to look amazing, which is why I don't ever buy it when people say "can't look much better than this, as good as it'll ever look".
In Anthro's case, I definitely think this could do better, look at Zombi Holocaust. However, 88 Films just takes masters they're given (Except the aformentioned in house restoration, which judging by the trouble it's caused them along with Burial Grounds, won't happen again)
I always feel bad saying or thinking this, because 88 do the best they can as 2 guys with what they can get, but every time they announce a title like say Zombi 3 or Anthropophagus, I get sad because it's one more title Arrow won't deliver justice to. It's even harder now, because it's clear Arrow are keen to get back into the Slasher and Italian market.
