What Have You Bought Recently?

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

Five new arrivals from 88 Films, with a mix of films I haven't seen (Gator, Shock Waves), one I have seen many times (Witchfinder General), and a couple I haven't seen in a very long time (Count Dracula, Evolution).

Received the American region friendly bd set of Dario Argento's Deep Cuts by the Severin label. It wasn't clear to me, exactly what was contained in this set. It came as a (nice) surprise to discover that there are seemingly well over two and a half hours of short films on disc 3.

The three Door Into Darkness episodes that have been scanned in hd show clear improvement. An unfortunate downside for the sd presentation of The Tram is that there is a lot of print damage. So much so that I actually wonder if some might prefer to watch that particular episode on one of the two older dvd releases.

I'm looking forward to watching the two part documentary on disc 1 (I've never had the opportunity to see it with English subtitles). Disc 4's 100 minute television special slice looks like it could potentially be car crash television. But luckily that disc's main feature of around 40 minutes worth of short films looks entertaining.

Glad I bought the set. Will take a while to work through.

Dr. Who: The Celestial Toymaker - DVD - UK$15:00

I'm slowly catching up with the episode I still have to see!

I know people have been critical of the animation style used with this release but, from what little I have seen of it, I think it fits in perfectly with this nature of this kind of surrealistic story

CEX pickup this afternoon. Its been on the shelf for a while but around ?12. Suddenly dropped to ?6 so I grabbed it. Have a feeling its now OOP as it's no longer available on 88s site.20240725_200648.jpg

Some goodies there, Mr. B.

I saw Mute Witness at the cinema and really enjoyed it. Had it on vhs but for whatever reason never bought the dvd.

Warlock i also saw at the cinema. A real fave of mine. The Sacrament is a decent slow burn cult horror. Ti West (not to be confused with Jake West) seems to specialise in slow burn horror.

I can't even remember Phantoms. Only had it on vhs.

Never actually seen Seven Samurai but it's 60's remake is a fave.

I'd have jumped on Warlock. Only seen it once and relatively recently after finding a HD print on YouTube and really enjoyed it. Doesn't seen to be readily available on disc at all.

That dvd, like mine, is from Second Sight. Long out of print unfortunately.

Some cheap DVDs from World of Books on eBay, with the Lady Gaga and Bon Jovi concert DVDs because Demdike rated them highly, the Sharpe box set because I've only seen a couple of them and my brother watched them fairly recently and said they were good, and Monkey Dust because I remember watching it when it was first broadcast and thinking it was brilliant; it's a shame the first series only the first series has been released on DVD.
