The only BU releases I have left on DVD are:

Blind Dead Coffin set (my favourite release)
Cannibal Man
Cannibals
The Church
Deathdream
Delirium
The Fifth Cord
The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion
God Told Me To
Hitch-Hike
The Killing Hour
The Pyjama Girl Case
Q: The Winged Serpent
Seven Deaths in the Cat's Eye
Shockwaves
Venus in Furs

I much prefer it when a company releases something that hasn't already been released a zillion times elsewhere.

Whats The Killing Hour like Bizarre_eye?

Often wondered but never picked it up.

Luckily for us British cult labels never re-release the same old stuff.

I wasn't expecting much, but I actually quite enjoyed it. It's fairly slow-paced, and more of a supernatural mystery than a 'slasher', which is probably why most people dislike it (incorrect marketing etc.)

Whilst I thought it was quite good, I also feel that it doesn't quite live up to its full potential, but it's definitely worth a watch.

A nice collection you had there, Pete

I used to own a few of those, too.

[Pete]

I think I bought most of them from Daemonia.

I've had loads of releases from company's like BU, AWE, Anchor Bay, Shriek Show, Severin, X-Rated etc. I would have had an amazing collection if I'd have kept hold of them all.

[Crimson Blade]

I think that BU's Mark of The Devil was Region 1 from what i can remember. And also one of the Blind Dead films as well.

Yep, now free from the Amazon perptuated illusion that ALL BU releases are region 1 I've had a good look at their web site and most are region 0. Unfortunatly Blind Dead collection is region 1.

[edit] seems there's a bd coming as well?
Maybe then...just hope they don't tamper with the audio too much...it really gives it a distinct feel.

I watched the Universal 100th Anniversary video about the restorations, and they talk about cleaning up all the hissing in the soundtrack, and the camera shaking in Dracula
