THE SHOUT is definitely worth a purchase.

A really good and different style horror film.

They will all be prime candidates for dvd upgrades, depending on price of course. However the Hammer films are definite purchases.

I like it, but I think it's for the nostalgia, i'm pretty sure it was the first Hammer film I ever watched.

Assault - better picture quality than the DVD. Nice and sleazy Brit-flick.
Death Line - the BU has extras but I think its the same transfer.
The Ghoul - brilliant picture quality for a 1930s film. Recommended.
Hands of the Ripper - the Network is inferior to the Synapse release because it has a stretched aspect ratio https://www.dvdcompare.net/compariso...m.php?fid=4971
Twins of Evil - has slightly better picture quality than the Synapse but the Synapse has hands down the better extras
The Shout - picture quality is excellent on the BR and the film is an off-beat gem with Susannah York's boobies too!!!
Tower of Evil - unrestored picture that's a bit ropey but also probably the best its going to be being a low budget UK production in wartime.

Sorry, don't know about the others.

Thanks, Rob. I'll leave Tower of Terror, stick with the dvd. I'd quite like to see that 84 minute doc on the Synapse blu of Twins but fear it's either not for sale anywhere (Amazon nor any of the US sellers have it) or it's fantastically expensive.

I'll stick with the dvd of Ripper too.

The last Synapse Twins of Evil to come up for sale within the UK went for £12.50 so worth keeping an eye out there.

In my dreams once Network's stint with the ITV owned Hammers is over, Indicator get hold of them and do 'em properly.
