Where did you get SHOCKING DARK? Wanted to see that film for ages!

Love ENDGAME, one of D'Aamato's best films IMO. Needs a dvd release!

Just finished watching it... ;)
It looks and sounds great...and seems to be identical to the US release.

Hmm thanks BDC ... the sound to me is more important really. Thanks for this.

:nod:

Well,I don't have an amplifier hooked up,but it sounded good on my tv. ;)

I've been meaning to pick up the US blu-ray of The Mist. I love the Drew Struzan artwork they used.

Im hoping to see Mist go down to like £6

Watched 'Max Manus: Man of War' last night - very, very good!

Last night I saw Suspiria for the first time and I loved it!

Just picked up Suspiria, Buried and Social Network. Not seen Buried yet, is it any good?

its awesome!
sadly the blu is wrong aspect ratio.

Just one in a milion that does!

Just received:

Forbidden Planet (Warner)

Vamp (Arrow)

Watched them both today. Excellent releases, loved 'em. :D

I must be the only person I know who didn't think that much of Buried. I was on a plane so was hoping that would add to the claustrophobia but thought it was just in the 'okay but nothing major' bracket.

Just recieved three Blue Underground titles today:

How to Kill a Judge

Circus of Fear

Companeros

Don't know if they're any good but at £3.50 each, brand new & sealed, I'm not gonna complain. :)

Got this in the post today ... only ordered Saturday and delivered from the US to UK .. good eh!?

I especially wanted the US AB release for the original audio track.

Attachment 8026

whats the pic quality like?

The picture quality seems fine. Bit grainy, but heck what does one expect!? I am not sure it is in it's correct aspect ratio though, but it is anamorphic. Colours are fine, blacks are blacks. Looks fine to me really.

I understand the UK release is a bit iffy, not to mention the soundtrack.

ah kool cheers :)

Ordered a copy of the excellent Blacksploitation film Trouble Man from amazon marketplace for around £3 the other day.

My Cobra blu arrived today from Hong Kong. :woot:

hmm
well after a 3rd viewing I dont love it but its still very good movie.

BEAST WITH A GUN (aka MAD DOG KILLER) - Anchor Bay
SYNDICATE SADIST'S - Shriek Show
APACHE KID (Bruno Mattei) - Spanish DVD
DON'T PANIC - Dark Vision
MANHUNT - RARO
TREASURE OF THE AMAZON - VCI

I got that the other week too! I couldn't wait for the USA release. :p

Just to let you know that you can buy Arrow Video's The House By The Cemetery, Sleepless and Macabre as a bundle from the Arrow Film website for only £18. Had a search online and the cheapest for each title is about £7.50 so in total you're saving about a fiver. Deals only valid for a week so I've taken the plunge and decided to get them.
I only really wanted to collect the Arrow Video Blu-ray releases but I may just have to join the rest of you and get the entire collection on DVD too. Sorry wallet, please forgive me! :pray:


Here's the offical thread: http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/arro...tml#post132679

Phantom of Death
Flavia the Heretic
Watch me when I kill
Angel of Vengeance

I had a CEX exchange voucher burning a hole in my pocket so used it to pick up Donnie Darko on blu ray. I've given it a spin and if I'm honest, even though there is an improvement over the DVD, it probably isn't really worth the upgrade. For HD, it still lacks a bit of sharpness for me, although perhaps this is due to the source materials as much as anything.

Still, at least it contains both the original and director's cuts and all the extras in one package for the first time so can't complain really (even though I just have a bit :p).

Nice ones kingofwitches666/Sargento/Pete/Nemesis! :thumb:

My US Blu is still in the sealed to watch pile but before I only had the old R1 Fox dvd, which was a bit of an abomination really so I'm hoping for a sizeable upgrade over that. It also had one of the most jarring layer changes ever, even on players I've had that pretty much handled them seamlessly. Felt like there was a 10-hour gap waiting for it to restart so it'll be a good upgrade for that reason alone.

Phantom of death
designated victim
vamp
lizard in a womans skin
fright night

Mine is out of the shrinkwrap but for some reason I still havent gotten around to watching it. I really love the artwork too. The rabbit made of smoke is pretty cool looking.

Nice ones skankenstoned! :thumb:

Indeed. A great list of films there -- is that viewing for the weekend?

Even though I own the R4 Death Wish/Death Wish 2 double feature dvd, I bought the individual Dutch releases of both parts on the Columbia label. At least, the 1st one was. The 2nd came today and it was the crappy fullscreen DFW dvd. Sufficed to say, I've emailed the seller to complain. :censored:

commiserations...
 

can i top that in unscrupulous dealers? ordered DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILLSATION fae this "chap" on amazon as he advertised a region 1 dvd, what arrived was a dvd-r COPY of the VHS with the 3rd film "thrown in" (to salve his conscience no doubt), after nae response tae 2 rather, shall we say, restrained emails... i had amazon on my case asking me to leave feedback!!!! suffice to say it was of the worst sort that i left. they also did not respond to my complaint either, as far as i know he is still selling his shite
there, if anyone does want to get ripped off by a seller/shop based in london, PM for details. HARUMPH.:mmph:

I believe you have bested me with that one! Some people eh. Just had a reply telling me I can send it back to the Netherlands and get a refund as it "wasn't what I expected". No shit Sherlock! Maybe shouldn't have shown the cover of the Columbia dvd then!

you might be surprised to learn thats not the top horror story i can tell, as im sure we have all dealt with pricks of various shades in our quest for visual fun!! hope you get your £!!:pray:

Just received through the post today:

Hellraiser (Anchor Bay)

Phenomena (Arrow) :woot:

Wahey!! I got PHENOMENA through the door today too :D At last!! What a great film and, from what reviews I've read, a great job by ARROW too. It certainly looks like another top package.

Got HELLRAISER the other week. Not watched it yet though. I did see VAMP last night and the AV was super. Great comedy-horror, very 80's :D... Loved Grace Jones' role as the lead vampire. Had read some reviews before watching it that she only had a cameobut I thought her part was a little bit more substantial than that. She certainly had a great presence and looked even creepier than usual with her fangs. :eyebrows:

Havent been here for a while so I've bought loads more than this but recent purchases:

Prom Night
Thriller: They Call Her One Eye
Class Of 1984
Sisters
Cannibal Apocalypse
Beyond The Darkness
Phenomena (Arrow)
Amer
Vamp

Nice set of DVDs (and BDs?) there.
