I love Blair Witch Project, I thought it was real lightning in a bottle stuff, and a brilliant piece of intense psychological Horror. I mean it was a scary movie. The film ushered in a lot of bad found footage movies but the Blair Witch can't be held up for that. Anyway, Man Bites Dog predated it...

I could have made a better film running round my woods with my friends and recording it

Ha, ha....dude, very harsh !

Can't deny the impact of the film, even though found footage is pretty tiresome these days. The marketing campaign was genius as well.

I probably mentioned this before re: found footage but the idea of the students still filming when everything around them was falling asunder is absurd - but Bram Stoker's characters do the same thing in Dracula - amid all the vampire shenanigans and despite of the horror of the situation, Stoker's characters still find time to jot it all down in their diaries (which is how the book is presented). So, my conclusion would be to just go with it...

Totally forgot to post these,they arrived on Friday. :)

I'm 99.9% sure Universal's initial release has the superior transfer. It's also the only version that comes with Terror in the Aisles.

I think there's been some debate about the transfers of both. I heard there were complaints about the Universal release. Ah well.

That would be due to the infamous missing Moustapha Akkad credit (I think Uni even offered replacement discs at one point).

Think i will go for universal release then it's a bit cheaper and never seen terror in the aisles

I should say, Scream's release does have better audio options... but there's only so much you can do with an ancient stereo mix from the early 80s, so I doubt there's much of a discernible difference.

Stuff i've ordered in the past week or so:
To Kill A Mockingbird (digibook), Sudden Death, Mother, Enter The Dragon (40th anniversary), Class of Nuke 'em High, Plague of Zombies, Western collection (The Searchers, Pale Rider, Rio Bravo, Wild Bunch, How the West was Won), Street Fighter Trilogy (DVD) & Big Trouble steelbook, Long Goodbye pre-ordered and paid for!

Gonna be a good month, so much good stuff coming out in October too!

Agree on all counts, Dracula 3d is an abomination.

I think Scream Factory's looks a little more 'cleaned' for want of a better term but both releases are great. For Halloween night viewing I would say Terror in the aisles is the best extra!:popcorn:

I quite liked the Card Player, so I guess I'll have to check out Mother Of Tears :)

As for Blair Witch, I first saw that a couple of years back after hiring the DVD having only heard the name, and that it was scary.

Found it very slow, but like all good horror movies the last half hour certainly pays off, I found it very creepy.

Must admit, I was blown away by Blair Witch when I saw it at the cinema, on its release. Still enjoy watching it now, but it was much more effective on the big screen.
It's well worth looking up the short story 'Sticks', by the late, great Karl Edward Wagner - some definite 'inspiration' for the film. The real inspiration for the short story is also worth reading, very strange and creepy.

My Re-Animator MediaBook was shipped by them this morning, so I look forward to that arriving.

Completely forgot that CONVOY was released on blu-ray here in the UK on monday, so I had to order it. Uncut and featuring the original poster artwork, it would've been rude not to.

more Deliveries today to add to my shameless collection

Don't forget the Shout Halloween 2 is region locked.

Going for the universal version with terror in the aisles documentary which is region free, but getting shout Halloween 3 as well

Universal's release is the superior in my eyes.

Terror In The Aisles in HD and looks very nice, and the film itself I believe has the superior transfer. Small damage, like scratches and flecks are littered here and there throughout the whole film, but the Shout edition has just stuck it through a filter to remove those, and has a weird noise on it.

As for Halloween 3, it's one of my favorite blu ray, fantastic film, best its ever looked, and the Horror's Hallowed Ground has a pant wettingly hilarious cameo by Mark Patton.

Just to derail the thread back to the Blair Witch Project again for a second, try watching it with headphones on, totally different experience!

Anyway, as you were :focus:

Well years since I seen it, so might give it a shot but I can't see it making the characters any less annoying and wanting to keep punching them in the face

Well, all the character hate each other and I think that hating them yourself worked for the film.

My limited edition Evil Dead 2 wooden box arrived today, and it's a really nice package. Pictures will follow, but the most important thing is probably the AV quality on the BD.

Sadly, this store doesn't need any business off us Europeans... I'm only slightly bitter, ahem...
