I have a real problem with Bey Logan commentaries - they contain so much information, I have to listen to them a couple of times to take everything in!!!!

I'm more than happy with the US disc of Invasion U.S.A. with it's director's commentary and almost 50 minutes of interviews. Another one I'll be giving a miss here.

Apparently it's uncensored and uncut

From FaceBook:

"FRIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT #3

God bless the late, and dearly missed, Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massaccesi). Not only did the censor-baiting Svengali of sleaze give us such video nasty masterpieces as ABSURD (1981) and ANTHROPOPHAGOUS (1980), as well as the sexploitation classic ELEVEN DAYS, ELEVEN NIGHTS (1987), he also unleashed one of Euro-horror's grisliest gore-fests in 1979's frequently-censored BEYOND THE DARKNESS! Focusing on a PSYCHO-style story of a young loner, under the authority of a besotted but blood-thirsty matriarch, who enjoys bouts of human taxidermy, bodily mutilation and cannibalism - this crimson-ridden splatter caper might just be D'Amato's crowning achievement. Starring the legendary Cinzea Monreale (THE BEYOND) as a beautiful blonde who is lured into the killer's premises, BEYOND THE DARKNESS also features a sublime score from prog-rockers Goblin (TENEBRAE) and a sick, but nonetheless satisfying, sense of humour. Also known as BURIED ALIVE, this D'Amato classic is finally making its UK HD premiere - uncut and uncensored!"

I'll wait for the Severin's release. I'll have great extras, as well as a good transfer. But if 88 Films decide to include Buio omega in the same Indiegogo campeign with Absurd, that will be completely different story.

That will be a day one purchase. I've always been rather partial to that Goblin score.

That's what I like most about them. Guillermo del Toro's commentaries are similar.

I see the American Ninja blu's are being re-released with the new 88 template...

Just kidding! But you see how silly some stuff might look.
