I really can't be bothered with those stories anymore,it's a jungle in dvd land.
Check out Mya/Johnny Legend for example...

X-Rated is a genuine company btw and according to what I've read the first (or one of the first) to release hardboxes.
I like their older stuff,not so thrilled about the recent slew of very limited repacks (leftover dvd stock).
But I guess if you're a box collector it's great.

I know, but I have a soft spot for these awful 80's Italian horrors!

I still buy MYA/Eyecatcher just because there is nothing better out there.

I'm not really a fan of the hard case German releases, it annoys we that they are limited to "only 30", are bloody expensive, and yes, I know I'm a native English speaker and I have absolutely no leverage to say this and it is biased of me especially since these dvds are GERMAN, but the titles are 90% in German which makes it really hard to decipher what the actual film is and i hate seeing it on my bookcase like that.

P.s. What's Johnny Legend?

[bdc]

The owner of Legend House.
And rumored to be the man behind midnight Choir who released several grey market dvd's (that seem to be out of circulation now).
For example:

Jeff Films also seem to specialize in grey market releases btw.

But we're getting off-topic here...

Yeah I have the Jeff Films release of 7 Murders for Scotland Yard, and it's as grey as that velvet that Argento's flies are on.

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

... or Phenomena, Suspiria, and Door Into Darkness.

[Fabiano]

ok demons 1 and two are not giallos

but suspiria , phenomena , and door in to darkness are giallos

giallos need not be a killer with black gloves....since there are other criteria
