It obviously has to be rendered from DVD onto a harddrive and then onto the actual Blu Ray, by which time it might just be an inevitable factor that the quality drops a bit in the process. I don't mind positive criticism - but considering how few of us are now doing DVD extra features I take pride in the fact ours "flow", have opening credits and a decent length. How often do you see stuff that is either raw footage or chucked out quick-like with an 8 minute running time? In just one year we've built up quite a good CV and I like to think it is because DVD companies see that when they use us they get something that has real work and effort put it into it. Believe me, Naomi often puts in all-nighters doing this stuff (including last night on The Beyond which is due in on Weds and has a shed load of stuff on it because we want to see an edition that at least holds up to the excellent Grindhouse release) and that is because of a real love for these films.

Just went through the extras. Love the Daria Nicolodi interview (especially her take on La Terza Madre, which was spot on). The Argento interviews are informative but ultimately stay very much on the surface and it's been 30 years since he's made it, I guess I expected a bit more from him. Is it me or do you also get the vibe that Argento wasn't that involved with directing this movie but more so with the pre- and post-production? The American actress said at the Q&A she never even saw him on set and the reports of him handing out notes to the film crew from his hospital room... I wonder, did Bava or someone else ghost direct a lot of this movie? It might explain the lack of inventive camera moves and angles as opposed to Suspiria. The quality of direction from scene to scene is very uneven IMO. Anyway, loved the Q&A (although that Bava expert didn't know when to quit) and enjoyed the Naomi animation (except for the lettertype font floating by, that did look cheap guys). Anyway, appreciate the effort that went into this and definitely worth the upgrade! |

I love what High Rising are doing for the UK home entertainment scene. It's been a long time since we had a company with this much enthusiasm for the product; hell, the last company up and left to America! Granted, not everyone will enjoy everything they do - that's the nature of the beast, but there's no denying the love that goes into everything they do. I for one can't wait for the next release! Keep up the awesome work guys, for Arrow and for any other label with the smarts of hiring ya! |

I'll second that. And Arrow to keep coming up with the fantastic titles.

I can't wait for The Beyond Any sneak peaks or info greatly appreciated Calum! At least Arrow let us FF the animation if you really don't like it, unlike a lot of other companies that would lock out that option!

That's fair enough, I wasn't putting the release down though as I think it's great and I do dig the extras but the intros just don't do it for me.

Ouch! Dissing Tim Lucas, eh? Chances are we would not have so many Jess Franco and Mario Bava movies at our disposal without. And, heck, probably even more titles and artists than I can imagine. Yeah, he can go on sometimes but at least he knows what he's talking about (whereas others just pontificate to sound intelligent -- Tim really IS intelligent).

I think it's best to keep feedback on arrow releases to ourselves then unless it's praise. |
