Me neither, I've got a college gig to work at on ZFE day so I won't get to check it out until the day after, providing they arrive on release day that is

And another one:

Michael Brooke says:
I don't know what they're doing with 'Black Sunday', though I'm guessing they're using existing HD masters. PoochJD's scepticism above, while misplaced in this particular instance, would be justified in most cases - because the kind of treatment that 'Zombie Flesh Eaters' got is indeed pretty rare for an independent UK label.

The BFI and Criterion often work directly from celluloid, but they're far better resourced, and have the market (Criterion) or the archival remit (BFI) to justify the expense - most other UK independents have to fall back on what's already available off the shelf. That's why Masters of Cinema, despite being Blu-ray evangelists, were forced to release their recent 'Park Row' on DVD only, because an HD master doesn't exist and the likely sales didn't come anywhere close to justifying paying for one themselves.

Incidentally, if DVD Beaver's charts and my PS3 can be relied upon to supply matching data, the new Arrow disc has a very noticeably higher bitrate than the Blue Underground disc - hovering around 32-36 MB/sec compared with the BU average of around 28. Having spent much more time and money than usual on the transfer and encode, Arrow are clearly determined to show it off.

Many thanks Limey. Michael Brooke is one of the great industry guys - he regularly posts over at the Criterion forum and I consider him a solid trustworthy source for information...

Thank you, Wes. I strongly agree - I have always found Michael's posts to be a mine of information in the past. That they should appear on the review of an Arrow hater is an irony that is lost on no one....

There was a CD available with the music from Zombie 2/Cat In The Brain but maybe hard to get hold of now.
One of the dvds of the film I have, a Dutch release, has the soundtrack on the disc as well.

You a lucky boy,Dave boy. Look after that dutch DVD so with the zombie 2 music.
