I still have my VHS of this movie, i might pick this BR up.

If you don't mind me asking, which website did you pick up the Ghost In The Shell Blu Rays from?

I picked these up from the Amazon 4 for £10 sale they had. I'm taking a gamble on all of these titles as i haven't seen any of them.

Just The First Power for me. Thought I would get Raw Force with it but it seems to be out of stock everywhere at the moment.

What Have You Bought Recently?
 

I actually wish they had used the US vhs art on the reverse (used as the BD's disc art). Scorpion used it on their mock-up on Facebook before it was released, when Walter recommended it to Kino. But hey, they did use the original poster, so I can't complain too much. :)

Tread carefully with 'Combat Shock'

It is a VERY disturbing film!

My reviews from elsewhere on the forum:

"Believe everything you have heard about this film

I like to push myself when it comes to 'extreme' movies, but this is very hard watching

Cannibal Holocaust, Nekromatic and Flower of Flesh and Blood are a walk inthe park

Combat Shock - Downbeat and depressing, certainly. I am near getting out the razor blades!!!!

Certainly NOT a typical Tromaville release

It is NOT easy viewing

APPROACH WITH CAUTION"

and

"I will have to do it at least once more - I haven't done the commentary yet

However, a second viewing is NOT thru choice, but rather necessity of seeing all of the disc"

The Funhouse is excellent! Not sure about the others as I've not seen them.

Combat Shock is probably the most downbeat and depressing film I've ever seen. There are others which are also downbeat and depressing, but the sheer amount of the running time which falls under that loose category is greater than in any other film I can think of at the moment.

There certainly aren't many chinks of light in Combat Shock. It's a film I'm glad I own, but I don't think I'll ever take it off the shelf again.
