I would have liked a book though if this is supposed to be an LE?

Psychological I suppose. Individual releases I'd tell you yes, £11.43 a film isn't bad at all. But my old fart brain sees a boxset as a multi-buy deal. I should be getting each film for less.

Problem is for me that Die Screaming Marianne is shite.

Still £13.30 isn't excessive for six films.

Agreed, but I'm pretty sure I'd watch Susan George's go-go dance from time to time

When they arrive to spend the weekend in a large country villa, the guests are expecting a chance to unwind and make merry. Unfortunately, their host has neglected to mention that there are zombies in the basement. They're feeling peckish too...

Boasting icky effects from Gino De Rossi (who arranged atrocities for Zombie Flesh Eaters), Burial Ground is a head-bashing, gut-muching, maggot infested classic from the gory glory days. 88 Films are proud to present this emetic extravaganza in a brand new – and completely uncut – 4K transfer.

Something's happening at the once quiet coastal town of Solana Beach. Boats are being destroyed and people are going missing. Veteran newsman Ned Turner (John Huston, celebrated director of Escape to Victory and Annie) thinks it's connected with the construction of an undersea tunnel. Something has been disturbed, something that's out for blood but no-one realises just how dangerous it is: there are worse things in the sea than sharks...

With a cast of Hollywood legends like Henry Fonda (Once Upon A Time in the West), Shelley Winters (Night of the Hunter), Claude Akins (Rio Bravo) and Bo Hopkins (The Wild Bunch), Tentacles is a classic seventies monster movie, blending ecological ruminations with sudden shocks. 88 Films are proud to present this magnificent maritime monstrosity in this beautiful new blu-ray edition.

From Andrew Davis, the director of The Fugitive, The Package and Under Siege, comes this riveting, turbo-charged crime thriller starring action legend Chuck Norris (Good Guys Wear Black, Invasion U.S.A.) in what most critics and fans consider to be his best film. Exploding with heart-stopping chases and lethal martial arts confrontations, it's a daring and suspenseful adventure that pits an honest cop against two vicious crime lords and his own department.

Eddie Cusack (Norris) is a Chicago detective who plays by his own rules - a dangerous habit, especially when he breaks the "code of silence" to blow the lid off a deadly police cover-up. Now an outcast, he receives little help from his embittered fellow officers when he's hurled into a blistering battle against rival drug kingpins. But Cusack is a one-man army, waging war on the criminals with his razor-sharp wits, lightning-fast karate moves and a remote-controlled, rocket-equipped tank!

On first glance those little white yachts just look like teeth to me.

It better have reversible art and not just the same art without logos.

It's the worst thing GH has put his name to.

I thought it was teeth too
