Why no Blu Ray release again.

It's my understanding no adequate material was available for an HD master, but I could be wrong.

Even if it was, I imagine the expense of a full high definition remastering process would not have been recouped through sales. After all, this is a fairly niche and little-known title, unlike Cannibal Holocaust and New York Ripper.

I can't be sure but that looks like it has been taken from a new HD transfer.

Maybe limited runs for Blu Ray might be an idea worth contemplating.

My copy arrived about an hour ago, complete with mac, so I'll watch it later today.

Whilst wearing the mac, I presume?

Due to the condensation, that might get a little damp and uncomfortable!

Did anyone from Shameless ever confirm what the issue was with the original release? Also, I wonder how they've managed the numbering, has it continued from the first 'release' or have they started again?

Anyone know why Shameless are so silent on this?

Hi everyone,

Here's a statement from Shameless Screen Entertainment, to help clarify the Formula For A Murder release for you...

Shameless Screen Entertainment assure you that there is nothing wrong with the DVD of FORMULA FOR A MURDER and that there was never any technical defect with the product.

We had to stop the first batch going out to retailers whilst we resolved a matter regarding the packaging of that batch: There had to be an additional check at the request of retailers due to the unusual inclusion of a plastic rainmac.

All issues have been resolved. The film is released in glorious widescreen format mastered from HD materials as never seen before, and this numbered and strictly limited edition features a yellow rain mac with the Shameless logo which is securely packaged with the DVD.

We wish you all a very happy screening !

- Shameless Screen Entertainment

So, stick on this forgotten giallo gem with a glass of J&B! Don't forget to take a photo of yourself in the limited edition Shameless mac and share with us over on this thread.
