It was from the guy's who run the 'Strange Vice' site. They had loads of great stuff (Synapse BD's, all the Camera Obscura titles, limited VHS editions etc) but sadly I didn't bring enough with me.

I was looking at the BD of Black Magic Rites earlier on Amz Uk - one of the sellers is Wingrove9509 and he dispatches from the UK. Could this be Nigel Wingrove? -if it is, one would be getting it direct from the source. Would save the hassle of importing, if that's the case.

Is the UK-Disc uncut? The BBFC says 553m 43s for the dvd (577m and 22s (ca. 578) in Blu-ray!? Amazon.com listed 578 minutes).

It's definitely a good tip to check second hand Amazon sellers as your first port of call. I got Days of Heaven - perfect nick - Criterion blu for 20 quid delivered and it arrived next day from the UK. Sadly 9/10 times you get ridiculous inflated prices quoted for used discs but every so often you get value, quick delivery and no customs snoops!

Related point - anyone ever used e-bay seller 'blowitouttahere' for import discs? feedbacks good but Moviemars has delivered quicker than them which is a bit worrying.

I really doubt it would have much censorship problems, as there wasn't anywhere as much content that could possibly be censored, and got through fine with a MA in Australia.

I totally agree - the second hand section is a go-to for some imports, for me.

Unfortunately, I've not come across blowitouttahere before. But I've heard libalex is supposed to be good though. On a related note, has anyone ever used OOdals on ebay before?

The first series of Walking Dead was braodcast uncut in the UK but was cut for DVD for some reason. Some of the gore was reduced.

No idea how the second series has fared on DVD/BD. But the difference in running time is probably because the DVDs are PAL at 25fps whilst the Blu will be HD at 24fps.
