But yes, these films need a release, especially in the UK, their country of origin.

I was waiting for you to point that out, Dem. Glad you didn't disappoint me!

Why isn't Trog on the list....

What you really mean is 'Thank **** at least one person reads my posts'. :tongue1:

Now I'm pretty sure that most if not all on that list would be considered a 'flop' as far as box office at the time (no home video deals or rental tape dosh back then) so I wonder if they were written off as a dead loss for tax, it does seem odd that even the most dire tosh from all over the world makes it onto dvd/BD but we Brits are bereft of quite a bit of 70s U.K. cult cinema, or maybe the rights holders just want silly money (like the Italians back in the 80/90s*)

*Back in the day I remember reading that an Italian distributor wanted over £150k for U.K. rights to a 70s 'nasty' Nazi flick that was on the DPP list.:pound:

Better than no-one at all, Dem...

That's debatable. :lol:

Got to be honest, i think your reviews are absolutely required reading. :nod: :cool:

There are so many British films from the 70's in the genre we so love that have been neglected on dvd, never mind blu-ray.

The Corpse
Fragment of Fear*
Tam Lin*
Trog*
Endless Night
The Night Digger*
What Became of Jack and Jill
Seagull Island
Dominique
Absolution
Voices
The Brute

That's just a few off the top of my head.

*These are available as on demand dvd-r's from various reputable studios but haven't had legitimate dvd releases.

I remember watching Fragment of Fear late one night on the BBC, years ago. It kind of reminded me a little of Blow Up with its plotline and the fact it starred David Hemmings in the lead role. Good film.

Like Dem says, the article is only in reference to films from the '70s. I completely agree with you about The Appointment though it's long overdue a release.
