Oh hell yeah... Check out the cast, the story and as I recall it's not got grim animal scenes either, it plays like a soft core Euro flick at times so it certainly fits into the Euro-sleaze category of the 1970s and of course Laura and the girls get their kit off in abundance.

Cheers matey, sounds like its worth paying less than a tenner for then. Hopefully HMV will have it tomorrow.

It also features one of the worst optical effects ever when a character is split in two! It has to be seen to be believed!

Not worth the agreement it's written on mate.

I was a member for years and the speedy delivery kept getting slower and slower.
Not woth a **** tbh.

I've just finished watching The Last Cannibals, I'd forgotten what a silly film it was. The transfer is quite dark, I've just had a quick flick the old Shriek Show disc and their transfer varies between been too light and dark in places. The Blu is a definite upgrade in terms of picture and sound. The SS disc looks like second generation VHS tape in terms of clarity and definition.
The picture darkness could be for various reasons, there is a huge amount of day for night photography which does look dark on the blu whereas on the SS disc it just looks like broad daylight. It could be that the blu has had some colour timing correction carried out to make the night times scenes more night like. The main thing to remember though is that this is s Joe D'Amato film so the budget was low, the film stock was cheap and he wasn't always a fan of lighting scenes properly.

Overall it's an improvement over past releases.

Children of the Corn has arrived! I've never seen it so I don't really know what expect.

I texted the guys a couple of hours after I saw on Facebook that they had received the first batch, to see if they had any left and I'd order it, byt they were all gone. Said they hoped to get more in tomorrow (Friday).
