Cult Labs - What Have You Bought Recently?

Finally got round to watching my Synapse blu of Vampire Circus last night.
Absolutely brilliant, can't recommend this release enough, it looks fantastic & has a great set of extras to boot. I hope all future Hammer Movie releases in HD get the same treatment. :D

Also recieved my Unrated ISOYG (2010) from Amazon at the weekend, which I watched after Vampire Circus.
As far as the current crop of remakes are concerned, I thought this was one of the better ones. Some pretty brave performances, especially from Sarah Butler, & coupled with the Saw-esque disposals of the rapists, I thought it was a great film that did no disservice to the original & I think can be judged as a stand alone in it's own right. Pretty edgy in places too. :fear:

I'd love to know what you think of it because it bored me senseless -- and I'm a big fan of the first one.

I saw it in cinema Nos, liked it :)
It did get a while to get going but was a good movie.
Guilty pleasure of mine the PA series.

Still need to pick up Hellraiser on Blu. May sound stupid, but I'm not that keen on the ABUK cover and much prefer teh ABUS one, so will probably get that. ;)

CEX have one left in stock online @ £5 which is a bit of a bargain... The US cover is pretty nice though, I know what your saying.

Finally got THE OLD DARK HOUSE (WHALE) today, happy happy joy joy...who remembers the horror night on bbc2 where a latex masked "host" showed this and Bride of Frankenstein?? lost my tape a while back...

Nosferatu@Cult Labs

22nd February 2011 01:35 PM

The Old Dark House is a brilliant film, probably the very first horror-comedy.

This morning, the postman brought the BD of I Spit on Your Grave: Unrated which had been sent from the US some weeks ago. It'll be interesting to watch that and compare it to the cut down UK version.

I wasn't to thrilled with the "Hole" but....

Also, for you guys whom commented on my post about "Let Me In', you were right, a bit disappointing! BUT, it had some better moments then the original, and vice versa. I liked the end in the original much better. Anyway, it was oen of the better remakes that's for sure!

22nd February 2011 04:44 PM

wow first person I seen not like The Hole

22nd February 2011 08:39 PM

I wasn't THAT keen Nek to be honest ... hence my Blu up for trade at the moment. Don't get me wrong, it was ... well ... OK, but not at all what I had been lead to believe.

bdc	22nd February 2011 08:41 PM

Isn't the UK bd of Hellraiser oop?

oaxaca

22nd February 2011 08:58 PM

Quite possibly...It's out of stock on amazon.co.uk anyways. Why would Anchor Bay stop printing a title like Hellraiser I wonder. I'd have though its one of the most renowned horror films out.

Hellraiser will be 25 years old next year... I smell a 25th Anniversary Edition scam.

Quite possibly. Maybe a Blu Puzzle Box? :eyebrows:

I bought the UK one ages ago for less than a fiver from Amazon. I don't mind the cover. It's kind of the traditional Hellraiser sleeve now.

I've never been fond of that cover, even when I had the UK VHS, and then the DVD before trading them to pick up the ABUK Trilogy box set.

One thing that I don't like about it, is the photoshopped 'flash' coming from the box. It's as though pinhead's pissed that someone's booby-trapped his box, or that he's about to propose to a fellow cenobite with a big, sparkly diamond engagement ring! :lol:

Yeah... I don't think that would be pretty.

Would have made an entertaining Hellraiser sequel though. ;)

They already released a puzzlebox boxset in the US which contains the blu of the first film and then the first 3 on dvd.

Hopefully the UK can go one better. I really like Hellbound so would love that on Blu too especially.

Agreed - I'm a huge fan of Hellbound, it definitely deserves a decent HD release too.

nekromantik

22nd February 2011 10:02 PM

Yeah Hellbound was good.
Barker was involved so had to be good.

oh come on :lol:
it was a fun ride
it was meant to be a kids horror movie after all and based on that fact it was pretty damn good for a kids movie. Much much much better then half of the teen horror coming out of hollywood these days.

Oh and anyone after a copy of PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK for £5 then pop over to the cex website now! (wish I knew about this earlier as I bought it this morning for £8 from play.com doh :p)

hmm
its ok to be honest. Nothing too good.
I payed like £7 for the blu for some reason lol dont know why.
The first half of the movie is pretty good with the haunting section but then the end is kinda meh.

It's actually just the blu and the first 2 movies on DVD.
The box itself looks pretty cool, but I don't like the way the discs are held. The edges just slide into a tight slot.

23rd February 2011 11:04 AM

The Dirty Harry Collection, that I ordered from Sainsburys online yesterday for the grand sum of £13.99, has been shipped so bang goes my effo effort to cut down on buying films and TV shows so I can make headway through the pile of unwatched discs!
