An interesting post regarding the transfer of 88's Spasmo (and Italian genre films and related restoration in general) over at Blu-ray.com: Quote:

Shit.... half the problem nowadays is people believing that films made in the '70's and '80's should look as good as the latest blockbuster out of Hollywood. Most of these old films just brought out on Blu Ray never looked this good on their original cinema runs! An example is Enter the Dragon. I saw it back in the '70's at a drive - in, numerous cinemas, then VHS, DVD and now Blu Ray. I have read of people complaining it is still not perfect but in my experiences of watching it many, many times, it is far, far better than it could have ever hoped to look 40 years ago. Jeez, people need to get a grip, a bit of film grain or compression and there is squealing that it doesn't reach their high standards of what they consider a Blu Ray to be. Really? Guess they are into the wrong hobby then! And this bashing of 88 because they drop the price trying to attract more sales really needs to stop too. You don't agree with how much they charge, fine, don't buy the bloody thing, hang around for a few months and pick it up then. We should be on our fricken knees thanking them for putting out the stuff we want to see, not bitching that we might save a couple of quid. And breathe...... ![]() |

Very interesting post. As I stated in an earlier post, I’m sure these releases are going to be the best we get in the near future, unless some millionaire decides to invest into some new equipment in Italy or 88 Films can talk the rights holders into allowing the film out of the country for scanning in London. I can only hope (and the screen grabs are looking good) that Zombi Holocaust is a good transfer and does good business for 88 Films. It might encourage the other right holders to lend the film to the 88 guys if it makes them a bit more money in the long run. |

When does "Anthropophagus" in HD ship from 88 Films? I ordered the disc early March, guess I'm just getting a little impatient. It's also my first time ordering from 88 Films directly.

OK people, this will be my last rant on my problem with 88 Films. They told me they would cancel my order and refund me but they haven't done it yet. Emailed them a couple of times again and as usual no replies, since they were too busy with posting some info on some cocktail to Twitter. Enough is enough, I'm going to open a PayPal dispute. Only I don't know what option to choose. PayPal offers me these two options: Item dispute: I did not receive an item I purchased or the item I received is significantly not as described. Unauthorized transaction: I did not authorize a recent transaction. Could any experienced PayPal user help me out please? |

If they haven't responded and reimbursed you in a week, the first option (did not receive an item) would seem to be the most applicable.

Agreed. It might take a few days for the funds to be refunded. If they are not there by Monday, I would look into raising it with PayPal.
