Katalin Varga should look gorgeous in HD.

I have them all except the most recent on dvd but none on Blu.

I'm tempted by the set but would like it nearer 50 if possible so it's a tenner a film and the extra stuff is free.

It was shot on 16mm on a tiny (self-financed) budget, so I?d be pleasantly surprised if it looked gorgeous.

All that lovely scenery should look beautiful. I never had any issues with the dvd image so it should look even better on Blu, surely?

I really enjoyed both them films, in fabric was like a throwback to 70-80s giallo, and give suspiria a run for its money in the bright colourful stakes.

Released for the first time in the UK on Blu-Ray! When tenacious thief, Doc McCoy, is thrown in prison after a robbery gone wrong, slick businessman Jack Benyon steps in to bail Doc out, in return for help with his next big 'hit' in Arizona. With the well-worn promise that this will be his last job, Doc successfully nabs the cash then flees for the Mexican border with his sharp-shooting wife. But Benyon and Doc's double-crossing partner is soon to follow, guns a-blazing, across the desert. A Hollywood crime saga packed with suspense, a deliciously nasty narrative and all-out action, this high-octane remake of the 1972 Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw hit stars Academy Award Nominee Alec Baldwin (The Departed, It's Complicated), Academy Award Winner Kim Basinger (L.A. Confidential, Batman), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill: Vol.1), Academy Award Nominee James Woods (John Carpenter's Vampires), David Morse (The Green Mile, The Hurt Locker) and Academy Award Nominee Jennifer Tilly (Bride of Chucky).
