I have the Dead Of Night DVD but haven't watched it as yet. Believe it's uncut but not 100% certain.

The BCI release which I also have (mainly for Blood Song) is definitely cut.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Bluray arrived:bananasuit:

Also picked up these in Gamestop for a tenner
Event Horizon
The Terror
Buried Alive
Bucket of the blood/The Ghoul/House on Haunted hill

Re: Mausoleum on Dark Vision

I think it's identical. The reverse of the sleeve says in the small print, "Under Distribution Licence From Sovereign Multimedia Ltd.", Sovereign are the only company who have submitted Mausoleum to the BBFC in the DVD age, so I presume they are behind Dead Of Night and Dark Vision's releases.

Very good quality for a VHS transfer (at 1080i), just a shame the full-screen unmatting reveals, for example, the rig for the levitation of the aunt! And as I can't upsample AND change the TV's aspect ratio, I could only watch it zoomed in at 16:9 in 576p, which did not look so good! But still OK.

Really could do with a wash and brush up, this film.

Seems there's a dearth of Dead Of Night releases! Mausoleum turned up in a Dark Vision version and Massacre At Central High just turned up in a 23rd Century version!

I wish Amazon Marketplace dealers were a little clearer about what they are selling!

:lol:

An ideal matting for Mausoleum would possibly be 1.66:1?
Just to obscure the effects and leave as much gore visible as possible.
I hate it when the matting is too tight and actually prefer a lot of movies open matte (like The Evil Dead which wasn't supposed to be matted)
Curious about a review Goji!

Yeah, you're probably right. The crop is a bit too fine at 1.78:1. 1.66:1 might do it!

I fell asleep before the end*! So there'll be a review up later, when i've seen it all. :D



*Nothing to do with the film, I'd had a crazy day!

I have the 23rd Century DVD, mainly for the original (and totally misleading) artwork! Not a bad film though.

As I'm away to move back to Aberdeen, I decided to visit Hogshead and Cult Fiction one last time.

Picked up:

Boogie Nights Platinum Series R1
Magnolia Platinum Series R1
Mario Bava Collection Vol 1 (Only £10)
Don't Open the Door/Don't Look in the Basement R1 DVD
Hell of the Living Dead (BU) R1 DVD:banana:

Just picked up Three Extremes 2 for £4.50 at Head.
