Black Sunday - Specs Thread - Page 4

My biggest surprise was how many people had issues with the kino release of Black sunday, what exactly were people expecting from the film? Every release of this film has age related issues, and the kino release looked better than I have ever seen it, be it the bbc1 jonathon ross screening, the image dvd or the anchor bay release.

I was happy with the kino release, even when I did my usual test sticking it on my mates fancy-pants 40" state of the art 3dtv, and i'm even more happy with my arrow release. I doubt very much we'll be seeing a better release of this any time soon (unless the italians are sitting on the negatives and not telling anyone.)

I'm aware of the reputation of Dvd Beaver's caps, but I've never personally had an issue yet. I use them as a reference, as I do with other review sites. I like to get a few reviews to get an idea of what they all have to say. Blu-ray.com's are usually pretty good (even if some of the reviewers can be completely ignorant and wrong). However, Dvd Beaver is one of the few that add different editions to past comparisons (which is what I'm looking for). Mondo Digital often does something similar, if less extensive.

Looks like Arrow's edition trumps Kino's:

Black Sunday

It's a fantastic release. I've still to watch the AIP version, but I'll get to that this weekend.

Black Sunday isn't kids stuff. And you'll be missing out on a classic

I had a quick flick through the DVD last night, the presentation looks superb. I watched the Trailer Reel fully, Blood and Black Lace has to surely get a release from Arrow at some point. The only trailer that really freaked me out was Doctor Goldfoot, I really hope we never see a release of it it looks terrible.

Return To Zero - don't be put off by the 15 certificate alot of films are getting 15's these days because their not graphic enough to warrent 18's, you can thank Saw and Hostel for that. I remember reading that Texas Chainsaw Massacre nearly got a 15 the other year until it was pointed out the film was banned for decades!
