Mine arrived on Saturday.

Not sure why I did now. I could have done with keeping the money, to be honest...

Looks pretty though!

Good choices. I have the Children of the Corn disc and, though it's not the greatest horror movie ever made, it looks and sounds superb.

Only the ending lets it down....anyone seen that 'remake' that's floating about?

if you mean the scify remake then its dreadful! avoid at all costs.

I just ordered The Thing 82 bluray. I heard that its a awesome disc and the UK disc has ported over the DVD extras unlike the US disc.

I didn't know there was one. It's easy to avoid something you don't know exists!

I also recently watched the BFI BD of Deep End. It's an excellent film.

Even better ( imo ) is Private Road ( another early 70s drama from BFI ) which is one of my favourite non - horror films of all time. Love it. The picture quality is stunning, too.

It also features a short film called The Final Chapter, which I'm sure all fans of Susan Penhaligon will love

Damn right enterthehero, unlike certain 'action heroes' whose films go direct to dvd, I find Van Damme's movies infinitely more watchable & enjoyable.

I really enjoyed Second in Command and I thought that The Shepherd was a pretty good film as well.

Those were the last two I watched (along with The Quest) & I agree, they were both cracking films.

Looking forward to checking out Eagle Path & Assassination Games when they're both released in October.

It'll be interesting to see whether that opinion stands up to another viewing.

Pervert isn't a Russ Meyer film Nos.

I think of his 'newer' films Wake Of Death is my favourite, even though it is very downbeat and brutal.
