Very generic artwork. Trying to cash in on Jonathon Sothcott's productions no doubt.

I don't know what is exact happenings that can land you with an 18.

At least with James Ferman there was consistency - the film either got an 18 or banned.

It may be pushed up to an 18 due to trailers, this has been known to happen.

I really like Dead Heat, really entertaining and Vincent Price is always good even if its only a small part.

I've seen it quite a few times and i'd think it would be a 15 these days.

thought this was a Lakeshore title with Arrow?

cut for an R rating (R rated version passed uncut by BBFC) and has never been restored (cuts have been a dvd extra)... perhaps this is why Arrow passed?

I'll try and keep an open mind but, for the moment, colour me unenthusiastic.

I'm more curious about why it's in the 88 Fims MGM collection. You can tell by the placement of the 88 Logo. Strange. Of course, it does say temporary artwork, so it's probably just something they quickly put together.

Give me strength. What kind of cor blimey guvnor nonsense is this ffs?! Or is there a twist and it's in fact the story of low lives from the Midlands carrying out a heist in Essex? Purely judging by the cover it looks like another "Rise of the Football Factory on Green Street" effort.

Essex Heist isn't even on the IMDb. Even Pantyhose Hero has a page there.

Anyhoo, speaking of British crime flicks, has anybody else here read the script for Guy Ritchie's Aladdin?

Update re indiegogo campaign...

We've been getting a few enquiries about when a couple of the perks will be shipping out so i just though i'd send this update.

88 Asia 1-4 Perk
400 Slipcases are currently being printed and we have 400 blu-rays on their way to our office to be packed into the slipcases. This should happen at the end of next week with any luck. These will be posted out 1st class.

Slipcase Pre-order
Short Night of Glass Dolls is being pressed now as are the slipcases. Seven Deaths in the Cats Eye is nearly ready bar another extra feature we are adding for you and the BBFC which is in progress now. These two should ship in early November.

Hope you all enjoy and once again thanks for your support with this project!

I have the Image R1 Blu which I'll be ditching shortly......yeah I reckon it'll get a 15 cert.

Look at Re-Animator 2.
Always an 18 in the bad old days.

Obviously the bbfc have realized that there ain't much chance of actually re-animating corpses....
