The Anchor Bay disc, as pictured, has the correct balance of color and darkness.


Thank you for this, Nika. My case is well and truly rested and my money's still firmly in my pocket. I'm still hugely disappointed, mind

My money's saved too and also very disappointed. It's a title I truly want on Blu-ray but not like this. After Inferno was such a bust and this one as well all my hope for Deep Red has faded too.

My two DVD and BR ABOB copies came yesterday and it certainly seems as though Arrow have come up trumps once again.

The obligatory attractive packaging together with a good smattering of extras. Hopefully another worthy effort.

It'll be a while before i can check out the relevant releases but the main thing is they're now in my possession for future viewing.

I must be easily pleased (believe me, i'm not really), I thought Inferno looked very good and just had a look at BOB. Although the colours are a little muted, it's still a nice transfer IMO, and I'm sure I'll be just as pleased with Profondo Rosso. Hell, I even didn't mind the altered colours in The French Connection and Suspiria.

Yeah, I'll be holding off on Deep Red also, especially as for so long Arrow were saying that there wouldn't be a Blu-ray because the source material wasn't good enough. I'll probably still pick these up eventually, second hand, but it's still first day sales they're losing and really they should be concerned. It'd be interesting to know the sales numbers for all these releases if there's anyone that can find that out.
