That's a hell of a lot. No wonder you're holding back.

If you're waiting for our verdicts?

Well you'll get one film from me next weekend, two in October as part of the Horror marathon and one in December.

As for Justin?

I'm not known for volunteering opinions I am an introvert though it's not my fault... I was going to watch one of them this evening though.

The review from DVD Compare

"This superb set is easily one of the sets of the year as far as I'm concerned. These four films (hopefully with more to come!) are appearing on BD for the first time in the UK (and are worldwide premieres as well) and are strongly recommended to fans of horror, fans of Universal and Hammer horror films ... they can more than hold their own against those more well known items. Image and sound are excellent, the extras superb and provide plenty of contextual added value. The only caveat is that Frank Coleman's excellent commentary on the 2009 Casa Negra Brainiac DVD hasn't been ported over. Of the films conventionally the weakest and silliest (but also the most fun) is The Brainiac. It's the one with the highest profile in English-speaking territories; the others are all great, more conventional examples of gothic horror cinema.

Transform yourself into your creature of choice and fly, run, swim or teleport to the nearest website and get this set ordered and on it's way to you soonest! Highly recommended!"

The Film: B-
Video: A
Audio: B+
Extras: A+
Overall: A

I watched The Witch’s Mirror last night and I really enjoyed it. I’m not joking when I say it’s Black Sunday meets Eyes Without A Face and a sprinkle of The Hands of Orlac haha

Arrived today.

Ordered from Amazon. Stephen King's Cat's Eye £8. I'm really hoping StudioCanal put out Silver Bullet and Maximum Overdrive at some point.

I hope that they do, two classic horrors that needed to be upgraded from my DVD pile.

They've done a nice upgrade with Cat's Eyes.
