Dario Argento: The Neo-Giallo Collection Official announcement
 

DARIO ARGENTO: THE NEO GIALLO COLLECTION

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...eoGiallo2D.jpg

Inside the mind of Argento...

Sit back, relax and prepare to be thrilled, frightened and horrified by the four latter day Dario Argento classics contained within The Neo-Giallo Collection.

Baroque excess and eyelid piercing horror spill from the screen in Opera, Argento’s gory love song to the classical stage, when a young singer is stalked by a homicidal maniac, hell bent of murdering her associates so he can claim her for himself!

A police woman on the trial of depraved and sadistic rapist is plunged into a nightmare in The Stendhal Syndrome. She’s afflicted with a mental condition that causes her to hallucinate and pass out in the presence of art. When her prey leads her to a museum packed with antiquities, she becomes trapped in a psychedelic nightmare by her psychopathic nemesis.

Argento recaptures the magic of classic Giallo once more in Sleepless, a blood splattered tale of an aging detective and a young amateur sleuth on the trail of a serial killer whose has started to slay again after laying dormant for 17 years. Can the rookie cop and his elderly mentor catch the predator and put an end to his reign of terror?

When a sick-minded murderer uses the internet to display his brutality and goad the Rome police, it’s up to a British Interpol agent and a young policewoman to capture a deranged madman who’s dubbed himself The Card Player. Soon, he’s taunting the police and challenging them to a game of video poker. The stakes? Only the life of his next victim...

I don't have any of these releases, so I may be picking up this box.

Nice. I have them all in various other releases, but I'd be interested to know if Arrow has any plans to release these on Blu-Ray at any point in the foreseeable future. If not, I may have to pick this up.

Is there anything extra in this which isn't in the individual releases of the DVDs? I already have them all in their singular releases so wouldn't need to opt for this but it's a good idea and something I would have probably bought if I'd known it was coming out a few months back, holding out on buying them individually.

Definitely curious as well. I've been eyeing Stendhal Syndrome on Blu already, and the only thing really holding me back is the possibility of Arrow releasing it. I want to pick up Sleepless as well, as the version in the US is pretty awful.

I've been looking to upgrade these, I'm in agreeance with the above post though...I wn't bother getting this if there's blu rays in the forseable future..and by the looks of the looks of things I take it these will be seperate meaning that you can (sadly enough) put them in chronological order for my precious Argento collection.

:clap:

How does the 9 artwork sleeves work? Is it the 4x2 reversible sleeves you get in the original releases plus the new one that combines them as in the original post?

Any clues as to what the packaging will be like? Will it just be the four previous releases in an outer slipcase, or is there something new in the works?

For those of you who like me, already own the four individual titles, you can still buy the box set, with its exclusive artwork, to store them in.

That's a nice idea - I may just do that!
