I hope so. I had it on pre-order for 5 months before eventually cancelling it!

Anyone got any idea's if this is going to be region locked or not, i picked up their FLESH EATER blu & that was region free?

I've never seen Zombi Holocaust. I assume that it is a film well worth watching judging by your post and bizarre_eye's reply. What should I expect?

I've never seen it either Nos, but from what I've read it seems to be a rip-off of Fulci's ZFE, even down to using some of the same cast/locations. According to most reviews the directing is less competently done than for ZFE but still its means to be a bit of a classic underground zombie film, originally released as DR BUTCHER M.D. in some parts. Oh and its no where near as extrem, in terms of violence, as CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, which I initially got it mixed up with!! Still, I've just pre-ordered it from axel and can't wait, its the next best thing I can get to ZFE at this moment in time in HD.

I'm praying its not region locked!! Shriek Show have refused to send copies out for review apparently leading some people to worry its going to be a straight port from DVD but I can't see that being the case myself

Thanks for the info -- I think I'll take a punt on it and hope for the best. I'm not too worried about region coding as I have a cheap Blu-ray player which I've set to Region A.

Bloody excellent! Haven't picked up the DVD of THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH and have never seen it so I'll wait for this blu ray methinks, so long as its region free! As for THE SKULL, it stars Peter Cushing, so its a no-brainer Haven't seen it in ages but remember it had something to do with the Marquis de Sade... Is this the first Cushing film to be released in HD!?
