Arrow Video - The Beyond - The Archive Discussion

[mbv]

i'd buy it to on Blu ray. As said before, not enough horror classics available so all are welcome

Hear hear.

All the usual bullshit gets the BR treatment before the classics do.

I'm over the moon that Arrow chose my favourite movie of all time City Of The Living Dead as their first BR disc, but you can count me in for a BR of The Beyond too.

Knew we could count on your vote Moj....

And yours, reaps

OK, so I'm not in the business of producing DVDs, but I cannot see a Blu-Ray of The Beyond not being a success. There are all ready at least a handful of quality DVD releases around the world which I suspect most fans of the film all ready own (well, at least one of them).

But a Blu-Ray...by the time the master has been done and the artwork sorted and so on and so on, Blu-Ray sales will be even higher and the price of players even lower. People might even buy a player just for The Beyond (I bought mine because of Suspiria, even though I had DVDs of the film).

To my view, it makes sense to release The Beyond On Blu-Ray. I reckon it would sell better than the BD of Inferno.

As I said before, I have no interest in buying another DVD of The Beyond, no matter how amazing the extras are (they're only extras after all), but a Blu-Ray, even with no extras, I would pre-order.

I think that's a very good point gojirosan.

My dvd player was pretty much coming to the end of its life , but the thing that actually made me decide on getting a blu ray player was Arrow's release of City Of The Living Dead. It just goes to show how one ( or more? ) particular film can convert us lot to buying a blu ray player and all the subsequent discs. So basically, it's all your fault, Almar...

Even more so if it was possible to release it Region-free-(I don't know the legalities).

But yeah,as much as I love Inferno,I reckon The Beyond would outsell it at least threefold.

BLU Although I would ,if I had to settle for a nice extras packed DVD. But if a Blu ray version could be released region free, then I predict big worldwide sales,as most people with the DVd of this would get the Blu version I am sure. As lets face it most of us are suckers for multiple releases of our fave titles.

Also if people get a hold of The Beyond BR with 4 covers, 2 discs, poster, booklet and loads of extras there's a good chance they will seek out the other Arrow BR releases in equally fantastic packages.
One thing us horror fans love is completing a collection!!
