Antichrist (Blu-Ray) - Ok, now this has split the audience right down the middle but I am definitely and firmly placed on the positive side. This was awesome, I loved it. It started off absolutely stunningly and beautifully shot and it didn't get any worse throughout the film. The cinematography was sublime, every shot was like a postcard.... in HD. I could not stop gasping at how beautiful everything looked, it seemed to be just one long dream sequence to me. As I'm sure you have heard some scenes are rather brutal but I feel they were necessary to portray the collapse in the human mind. The acting was nigh on perfect, when Charlotte Gainsbourg cried it completely sank my heart, the emotion that was poured into that performance was breathtaking. You could feel everything she was feeling with the pain and turmoil her character was going through.
Okay I won't carry on and bore you but I really, really loved this. A must own on Blu-Ray me thinks (Thanks Kelly for picking this up for me :D )

Rob Strange 8th February 2010 10:51 AM

I thought it was great too. I genuinely loved the weirdo talking fox.

This was an inventively designed, harrowing and occasionally darkly amusing exploration of guilt, bereavement and the age old 'battle of the sexes'.

Gainsbourg was fearless and outstanding, I thought.


Just watched District 9 on blu. What an exciting, refreshing action film: great concept and thrilling execution, with razor sharp wit. Liked the idea that the main protagonist was a bit of a wally and a shit, despite clearly being the best human of the lot. Very impressed.

Stephen@Cult Labs 8th February 2010 12:51 PM

Watched District 13:Ultimatum last night.Unfortunately not a patch on the original as far as I was concerned.While there were a few good action sequences in the movie,I felt that the original moved at a faster pace and had more clearly defined vilians in the form of Taha and his right hand man K-2.This one had a corrupt government official and a special forces comrade of Damien as the protaginists and didn't pose much of a threat to our heroes.It's a shame that they didn't bring Leito's sister,Lola back for Ultimatum.

I watched District 13 and loved it but I'm yet to get this new one. I think I'll have to get it just to complete the collection but good to see an honest review. It's got a nice cover and I'm a sucker for great packaging too.

Brilliant looking transfer.
I can't stress enough to anyone who owns a BR player and hasn't taken the plunge with SUSPIRIA how much they're missing!

I watched THE DESCENT last night and wow,does it look and sound good!:cool:

bizarre_eye@Cult Labs 8th February 2010 08:29 PM

I think I'll be picking up the Suspiria blu in the not too distant future... :nod:

vipco 9th February 2010 01:29 AM

I seen these 3 on offer and was wondering if they were any good both PQ and film ways.

Fri 13th (2009)
Fri 13th 2 (original)
Eden Lake
The Signal

Anyone.?

Philleh 9th February 2010 08:05 AM

Picked up Meserine yesterday :thumb:

antmumford 9th February 2010 08:14 AM

I went to Asda last night and they had a 3 for £9 deal on lot's of DVD's. This is what I picked up for the bargain price of just £18. Result! :thumb:

Rob Zombie's Halloween (Uncut, Director's Cut)
The Pursuit of Happiness
Seven Pounds
Milk
Gran Torino (can you believe it, £3!)
Walled In

I've never heard of Walled In, it's a horror film made last year starring Mischa Barton from OC fame. The reason I picked this up even though there were many other's I'd have liked is because it had an awesome lenticular cover :blush: I'm a real sucker for nice packaging. Let's hope the film doesn't disappoint too much.

Just last year Mya Communication released the full uncut restored version of this "lost film". Didn't know if you knew or not. Here's a link to it from an american site, not sure where else you can get it :confused:

F13 2009 is an absolute shite pile of a movie but it does look good in Blu ray. The PQ is about the only decent thing about the movie...Jason is pretty cool though.

F13 2 I liked a lot. The PQ is pretty decent for most of the movie especially the darker scenes(which I suppose is about 80% of the time). Its never going to win Blu ray of the year but as a fan of the movie I was well impressed.

42ndStreetFreak 9th February 2010 10:27 AM


****ing LOVING that!!! Nice one.
Lok at that age rating too! LOL!



"Antichrist"

"Wanted Dead or Alive" (upgrade from blurry full frame/stereo DVD release)

NOTE: Got "WDOA" from Poundland.....Despite the back cover "WDOA" is the 'Anchor Bay' DTS version and is, as per the cover, anamorphic.
It is NOT the cheaper 'Bay View' version with only stereo and a non-anamorphic print.

Yeah, I've got the nearly-uncut Mya version, I ordered the Retrofilm one out of a combination of curiosity, anorakism and greed! :lol: Many thanks though.


In other news...WAKE IN FRIGHT ARRIVED THIS MORNING!!! :bananasuit:

LineSix 9th February 2010 12:05 PM

A copy and paste from the X-Rated Kult thread:

One more for the collection, I picked up a limited to 99 version of Walerian Borowczyk's Unmoralische Novizinnen hinter Klostermauern, Behind Convent Walls being the English title. I bought it purely based on the fact that I had never seen the edition before, seems like a rare one. It's got English language, thats a plus, lol.

Pigasus 9th February 2010 12:35 PM

Just received The Last Templar, starring Mira Sorvino as an "intrepid archaeologist" (it says here).

Philleh 9th February 2010 03:39 PM

I've recently picked up:

Zombie (Anchor Bay)
Demonia (Shreik Show)
House of Clocks (Shriek Show)
Revolutionary Road
Choke

Pete 9th February 2010 03:44 PM

I remember finding the Shriek Show dvd of Demonia in gamestation for £2.99 about five years ago. I was so happy! The happiness soon turned to dissapointment though, because it was crap!

Philleh 9th February 2010 04:36 PM

Haha, it cost £3.17 so I can live with it :) I know it's not good at all, but it's one for Fulci for the collection :thumb:

Pete 9th February 2010 04:48 PM

Aye, no matter how bad some of his later films are its still nice to have them all.

My Demonia myseriously dissapeared. One day I decided to watch it again and when I opened the dvd case it was gone! I have no Idea what happened to it:confused:

I wonder if one of the builders (who were instaling the new radiators a few weeks before) nicked it?

Philleh 9th February 2010 05:03 PM

Closet Fulci fan huh? surely he'd snag the case too? ha.

Sucks either way, not tempted to purchase it again huh?

Pete 9th February 2010 05:09 PM

I might buy it again but there are other films I want first.

Philleh 9th February 2010 05:46 PM

Could be some time then! I'm looking to finish off my Fulci Shriek Show collection at the moment.

Pete 9th February 2010 05:52 PM

How many do you need?

Philleh 9th February 2010 05:55 PM

Touch of Death
Murder Rock
Sweet House of Horrors
Re-release of Lizard in a Woman's Skin

I have them in other releases, but would like the SS one completed. :)

Pete 9th February 2010 05:57 PM

I had the re-release of Lizard in a Womans Skin and the pq wasn't very good considering it had been 'remastered'.

Philleh 9th February 2010 06:02 PM

I have the original release they put out, so what's the difference with the re-release? :confused:

Pete 9th February 2010 06:06 PM

I the re-release is longer.


For some reason SS dropped almost all the extras from the old edition for the re-release.

Philleh 9th February 2010 06:13 PM

Odd, guess I'll keep hold of her then! Ha.
