Zombie Flesh Eaters

[Vampix]

This looks like it's shaping up to be a really nice release.

[Steel76]

Yup, this is probably gonna be on my top 3 list of Arrow editions, together with Demons and The Beyond

After watching this for years on VHS and then on the original Anchor Bay dvd I have to say I'm very content with the BU blu but I can see myself picking this up down the road if there are notable differences.

Yeah, just a few differences.

Admittedly, I am not a special features junkie. I appreciate when they're included but they're more or less a one and done attraction for me. The presentation of the film is what matters most to me.

That's all well and good, but I hope they shed more light on the Shark Vs Zombie scene, was it a left over from the original, original adventure screenplay or just so they could have a shark in the trailer to cash in on the JAWS movies? Inquiring minds need to know.

About the limited slipcase release, are there many left, haven't got round to buying on yet??

That's actually quite good to know they still have some left...I ordered one when it was first announced but i've been thinking about ordering another, mainly because I can just see i'll end up with one with the slipcase all bloody dented and bashed up!
