Is it as expensive as buying UK Second Sight releases with their horrendous artworks?

Definitely, if you've spent £30 you got yourself a good deal Second Sight is OK if you don't get the boxed versions, which is more comparable to the Shout Factory stuff as they don't do box/book combos.

Just for information:

Lot7GV's is currently £20.13 delivered from WOWHD. Adding the tax will make it just over £25. A hefty sum for one film...

I did think that it would be much cheaper to get SF releases direct from their site during a sale through a forwarding company... but... SF send their orders piecemeal, which means you have to pay a consolidation fee at the forwarding company... ouch!

Well the Shout disc of Seven Golden Vampires is £24.44 delivered from Amazon US.

I expect Rob4 to get this, seeing as the sheer wealth of extras he wanted on the S1 disc are only costing him £11.

I don't know about that Dem? I have a massive 'to buy' list so I'll have to think about it. It's likely to be in print for several years so a cheaper import option might become available and it's not my favourite Hammer by any means!

I remember seeing the poster at my local fleapit and thinking that it looked just about the most exciting thing I had ever seen but of course I was too young to get in. Then the first House of Hammer magazine I bought was Issue 4 with a comic strip adaptation of the film which further fuelled my imagination and raised my expectations. However, when I finally got to see it I was entertained but disappointed - it appeared cheap and a bit of a rush job compared to previous Hammer films.

Maybe a new scan will change my mind...?

Well for me it's a completists release only. I don't rate the film very highly at all. Although i have to say a lot of people love it.

Had it been around the £20 mark i'd wouldn't be bothering.

Does anyone here have the Signal One release of The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires? What is the image quality like? I don't suppose it is from a 2K scan?

I thought it was very good. Pretty much the same quality as every other Hammer and light years better than any Amicus print.
