So Duckling, I gave the disc a quick spin last night and am pleased to report the image and audio are wonderful. Going from the restoration details I'm certain its the HD Master created for the German Blu, the image is thick, colourful and has grain.
The extras start off a little high brow, especially the Koven talking head piece. The Visual Essay by Ellinger is engaging and interesting. She also makes some good points about the apparent misogyny in Fulci's films and points out the director was playing to and exceeding the genres expectations. The women in Fulci's gialli are never dull and merely there for decoration. The interview sections are pretty good and Florinda Bolkan watching her chain whipping scene is something. There are also lots of clips from Lizard, Seven Notes and One on Top of Another during the documentaries. I wonder if Arrow have a few other Fulci gialli up their sleeves?
