Is it really that far away? Oh, the agony of waiting begins again but it is fortunate that there are so many titles from Shameless and Arrow to fill the void and numb the pain a bit!

Amazing film, great news!

It's one of my favourite gialli too and a film that I considered one of the five titles that are 'essential viewing' when I wrote my What Is a Giallo? article.

Excellent news!

I have the old ABUS dvd but I'll be buying the Shameless release without a doubt!

Can we expect BBFC trouble with this title?

Especially the "Orange Juice" scene?

Fingers crossed

EEK!...there may also be a second "Lizardgate"

[Nemesis]

This is terrific news - I was thinking about importing the BU disc, but now I'll wait. Great choice, Shameless

As well as the Italian track, a blu of this would be even better

Very nice announcement. Easily the best Fulci effort I've seen. I was blown away when I watched this years ago so it'll be lovely to revisit the film. I'm sure it'll do very well.

Same here although the Anchor Bay one will do me for the next five months!

I can't imagine the BBFC will object to the title -- its not likely early 1980s when anything with 'cannibal' or 'torture' was immediately banned all subject to scrutiny by Thatcher's government.

As for the more contentious scene, I don't think there'll be too much trouble getting through Soho Square as times have moved on and it really shouldn't be against any of their policies and guidelines. I hope I'm right as it would be terrible to have this in a cut form, given how popular it is likely to be.

A persoanal fave of mine, so I'm really looking forward to this opportunity for an upgrade from the BU disc.
