I take it they're siginificantly better than Arrow's BD releases? I have both House and City on Arrow's DVD and they look good enough for me - I'm not that into Blu yet and don't quite understand the technical aspects, I just know what looks good to me, but after how lovely Arrow's ZFE looks I'm dying to get New York Ripper and the other big Fulcis on Blu from BU. I saw their ZFE playing in the States a couple of months back and thought it looked great too, definitely gives the film a different 'tone' (I actually kinda liked the EC comics vibe of the scarlet blood).
The Prowler didn't blow me away in terms of the BD presentation but I don't think it ever could. The Arrow release of The Funhouse (one of my fave films) didn't blow me away either - some US slashers from the period just don't seem to be meant for the BD spit'n'polish. I'd be curious to see how the Scream Factory Funhouse looks though!
