Code Red

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

Re: Nailgun Massacre, whilst it's not exactly a good film, I do find it quite entertaining in it's own right. I own the Synapse DVD, which for me personally is fine (due to the film's trademark DTV look I really can't it looking remarkably better on Blu) so I have no interest in upgrading really. I think if I didn't own it/hadn't seen it before I may have been more tempted.

Looking forward to seeing what Bill has in store for us next (post Nightmare). I've heard rumours of quite a few titles but it's always better waiting for more 'official' announcements to avoid potential disappointment.

I've edited the original text a bit btw, big thanks to Luis over at Latarnia for keeping this updated.
Actually The Redeemer has a fittingly weird catalog number.

Bill is seriously messing with my OCD.....Goddamnit, we haven't even got #1 yet, (Nightmare??)

Go on Biz....tease us with a few things you've heard.....

Well, there's the rumour that The Electric Chair will be spine no. 1... I'm convinced that this a little joke on Bill's part though. I think Spine 1 will be Nightmare.

Aside from that, there have been mentions of Messiah of Evil, and Unhinged (although it is unclear whether Unhinged will get a Blu release or just a DVD). He also mentioned perhaps releasing the upcoming Equalizer 2000 on Blu as well as DVD.

Bill also apparently has Screams of a Winter Night so we may end up seeing this on Blu too in the future perhaps.

A recent post by Bill also mentioned adding 7 new DVD releases to his store along with the Nightmare Blu, whenever that becomes available.

People seem to really like Mary:

"Just finished watching Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary. Wow. I wasn't expecting it to even be noteworthy. But it was phenomenal. Very atmospheric and creepy. And the story was superb, love the giallo-esque approach to the copycat "killer". And the twist ending completely took me off guard. It was very classy and not at all what I was expecting. Seriously, I freakin loved it!

If you were on the fence and not sure about picking this one up, get it! It was amazing. Its not a cliche 70s Vampire movie. It takes the mythology in a different direction. She almost like a tortured soul that despises being a vampire and hates doing what she does but knows that she can only fight off her hunger for so long before she has to do something about it. Its a very nicely done flick. I enjoyed it the most out of the ones I've seen so far. (Only 2 left, The Redeemer and Savage Streets!)"

"Mary Mary Bloody Mary has been criminally overlooked; it was my most anticipated title from this batch - I can't stress enough how much people should check it out. Mary Mary Bloody Mary is a great horror film; the type that if people knew more about it they'd have been begging someone, anyone, to release it. I'm confused how some movies get elevated to cult status, but other good ones get overlooked."

"I was also really impressed by Mary, which I hadn't seen or had even been aware of previously. One of those moody, downbeat, and dreamily eerie films that the 70's specialized in. What made it most effective for me was that Mary remains surprisingly sympathetic throughout, despite her bloodlust. Certainly the 'best' film that Code Red has released on Blu-ray so far."

"Mary Mary, Bloody Mary should have been a horror classic by now. I'm shocked after reading up on just how under-the-radar it has flown. (Well, even I didn't know what it was until Code Red's blu-ray, and I'm not the only one ) It's practically flawless imo. Hopefully it gains some sort of following now that its in print."

Just got my copy of Nail Gun Massacre on BD - and today i also got double disc of Holla if i kill you and Peter Rottentail... going to be an interesting evening.

Got my copy of Savage Streets from Bill today. He says on Facebook that's he'll be posting some bad news for international customers, due to customs/law/government (his words). I'm thinking he'll be stopping international sales permanently, maybe due to costs.
