Nice ones BE!
Is the BU blu of Hardware better than the Optimum blu BE?

Thanks b.

Most reviews and screenshots I've seen indicate that the pq is slightly better on the Severin release. Both releases also have different extras, and as I have the SE Optimum DVD already, the better pq and different extras (in particular the Severin exclusive: No Flesh Shall Be Spared doc) made me decide to pick up the Severin version in HD.

Here is an interesting comparison from blu-ray.com:

Optimum UK
Severin US

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Also preordered that MANIAC on Blu.
Looking forward to that one!

A type of urban EDEN LAKE by the sound of it.

The director's other film,From London to Brighton was rather harrowing,so I ain't expecting happy stuff!
I believe he also made The Cottage....

The Optimum DVD is very decent b, and I'm sure the Blu will be even better.

Interesting info from mondo-digital, too. It's strange how the Optimum version doesn't include a 5.1 track; not that I'll be taking advantage of that particular track until I get a new surround sound system, anyway!

Cherry Tree Lane is more like a British version of Funny Games and is pretty tough viewing (I've just finished watching it) and if it's quite neatly into the 'home invasion' genre but I don't think it is interesting that something like Funny Games or Them.

Only a few minutes in but 'future events such as these will affect you in the future' has got to be one of the greatest lines in any film
