I've just finished a double bill of Witchfinder General and Don't Look Now. There's only one word to describe the films and the HD treatment they have received: stunning.

Considering how bad some of the material in Witchfinder General looks on DVD (the stuff that was cut out to make the theatrical version), it now looks (and sounds) amazing and I really hope The Wicker Man receives the same treatment sooner rather than later.

As far as Don't Look Now goes, the AV upgrade is astounding and it is a masterpiece of psychological horror. I'm going to go through the extra features and get a review up early next week.

If you don't own (or have ordered) these yet, do it ASAP!

Pre-owned? I guess someone didn't think much of it!

That'll happen to me sooner or later! I probably have more than I realise but feel the need to complete my Blue Underground BD set first.

Thanks, that reminds me I need to start buying some Blue Underground BDs, whilst amazon's prices are still quite reasonable and before the dreaded Customs threshold is reduced. :(

it's actually an ex-rental, we had 20 rental blu's in work and we had it as an exclusive about a month ago so it's a pretty good bargain.

What does the Jaws 30th Anniversary contain?

Glad to hear both those films (I've pre-ordered both) are of such excellent quality Nos!

I just bought DARK CITY from cex for £8. Considering its OOP, thats a very good price compared to the £40+ listings on amazon marketplace and the £18 on zavvi. I believe the US version is region locked too so that wasn't an option.
