That's for the Blu-Ray. The DVD version is £9.99

MUCH cheaper than Amazon, which has the Blu-Ray for £26.25 and the DVD for £22.82

Distributor: Shameless Screen Entertainment
Certificate: 18
Release date: 31 October 2016
VFD: VFE12807
Running time: 101 min 56 secs
Region: 2
Cat No: SHAM047
Barcode: 5060162232034
Extras: Cathedral of Demons*
Director: Michele Soavi

* It seems that this is an alternate title for the movie, so it could be an alternate opening sequence, or the original language version of the film (i.e not dubbed) or a completely new documentary about it

Not really the specs I was looking for. Having been restored in two different ratios, I'm curious which Shameless are using, or if they're putting both on there. I'd also like to know about the language tracks. It'd be nice to know what that sole extra listed actually is too.

Code Red are releasing a blu-ray soon.

Edit: Bizarre was a bit quicker

Let's hope it's a documentary.

I wish Shameless wasn't so terrible to give us some well needed info about their releases.

A few screenshots wouldn't hurt either.

To me it's a no brainer then.

Pay £75 for a CR release if you're lucky or get the Shameless one? Does it really matter what aspect ratio is used as long as it's not stretched, crushed or pan and scan?

Depends on what we're talking about. If it's 1.85:1 opened up to 1.78:1, that's fine. 1.66:1 to 1.78:1 is very disappointing. 2.39:1 to 2.00:1 is a travesty.

Eek!!

Brilliant reviewer and boffin to boot!

[Steel76]

1.66:1 is the original and intended aspect ratio (same as Demons), so let's hope they use that one.
