Yeah. I have that and the sequel fish men and their queen. The Mya release got some stick for being the italian PG cut with minimal violence but I enjoyed it.

Indeed. The original 'Fishmen' was a PG adventure film. Corman added more of the red stuff to cater more for the horror/exploitation market and re-titled it as 'Screamers'.

I'd forgotten it was available. I'd always hoped for it to be released and held off buying Fishmen.

So these two came in today


Ordered them both from BIOH when there was a sale, they both arroved undamaged (not a dent in Videodrome) as this is my first Criterion buy it calls for a small celebration! the biggest joke of 'em all is: I don't have a region free player (yet) But absolutely no regrets whatsoever!

The only question remains: Should I unpack them, or wait for the glorious day when there is a region free blu ray player in the house and then unpack them like crazy?

I'd unwrap them and read the booklets.

Well seeing that it is a Criterion release, it is definitely the uncut version. (Highly recommend this one, region A though) The sale is now over at BIOH but I paid around £14 (shipping included) if you head over to the B&N sale you might get the same price

Picked both of these up for £5, neither have particularly great PQ but fancied a watch.
Haven't seen Trick since it originally came out on VHS,remember liking it at the time. Intruder i've never got round to watching but have been meaning to for a long time.
