Brilliant i love the fulci and argento films you guys have been releasing and now Mario is on the list awesome.

I would like to add that i would love to see some more giallos, weird monster movies and slasher films that you guys can get. Keep up the good work guys i seriously cant wait to add the latest editons to my collection

Fantastic news Almar, and Playzocker, that artwork has always been my favourite for the film, I'd love to see it used for this release.

If this does get released on Blu, anyone know if this is potentially the first Bava blu worldwide? I've had a quick search in the past and never come across any.

Wow! This was a ( pleasant ) surprise! I must admit it's not my favourite Bava, but I'll certainly be up for a BD.

Great film,got a very nice French one panel poster for this one,I'll try and post a photo next week when I get back to Bristol.
The sound has been very problematic on a lot of releases of this title,so fingers crossed.A nice extra would be the Italian version which includes different set ups [no different scenes though] shot in Italian,sounds much better in it's original language as well ! Good luck with this one !

Fantastic news

Any other Bava's in the pipe line, I reckon Black Sunday's gorgeous black & white photography would look absolutely stunning given the blu ray treatment.

[medwaygarage]

Can I suggest a Blu Ray of 'Blood And Black Lace',using the same materials the German dvd used,by far the best quality version worldwide !

[Philleh]

Agreed, Blood and Blacklace deserves a high quality release - and Arrow are the perfect company to deliver one!!

Fantastic news. Put me down for a Blu. You guys are doing us proud.
A Blu for Blood And Black Lace, would be awesone, ditto Black Sabbath, Kill, Baby...Kill! and Black Sunday. Greedy, aren't I?

Kudos to you

Very cool news! Will the Italian version be included? And, I don't mean dub -- Bava shot an Italian version at the same time (see the Raro dvd for more info).

Thanks so much, Arrow & Almar! Wow...will there be more Bava or is this a test at this point to see how his film does?

Wow...just, wow...
