Sadly no! But I will now you've recommended it.

To be honest theres soo many films I've read in this forum that I haven't seen. For 2 reasons - most of the time they aren't available in the UK or hard 2 get. 2nd reason is i'monly 18! So of course I never lived through the GOLDEN age of horror I'm probs the youngest member here! See, not all teenagers have crap taste and just watch 'Transformers'. I LUV horror, and have done for AGGGES! Got a huge horror DVD collection too! As you c I luv this site as I can see films I may never of heard of before.

Check out reap's VIPCO Thread for some good horror films you can pick up in their Black sleeve 'Screem Time' editions for under a fiver, though the quality's no were near that of Shameless.

You cant go wrong with the Shameless range , great films, fantastic quality.
Check out NY Ripper, fantastic.

Whatever you do, DON'T buy the UK version of Cannibal Ferox, its cut to pieces.

I just watched "The Zombie Dead" (AKA 'Burial Ground' AKA ' The Nights Of Terror') and I really don't know what to make of it. It is definetly so crap its brilliant! That 30-year old midget playing a 10year old seriously suffering from the oedipus complex! Everytime I see him, or even think about him, I burst out laughing!!!!!

Brilliant!
The uncut US discs of ISOYG are region 0 I think anyway but I know the Image version of CA licenced from Canal+ is region 1 only.I also think the US AB release of Maniac is region 0 & I assume the Blue underground re-issue is too (I think BU re-issued it)

Another cut was to the scene where Sally cuts her stomach open with a knife and a blow torch severing somebody's hand.

Just going by memory here as I no longer have the cut UK Video.

Not a bad film but certainly no classic.
I've only ever seen the cut Medusa video but I recall Barry Norman giving the film a surprisingly decent review (for him) years back on its theatrical release.I watched Straightheads on its dvd release & it was watchable but i thought Black Sheep was not funny in the least and rather boring.

Yeah, I've got some Vipco DVDs but as you said SHAMELESS is FAR SUPERIOR! As for NYR - that was the 1st Shameless film I bought - And I luv it! Great!


I'll avoid CF then - thanks for the advice m8

I've the Grindhouse version ( R0 ) too, and it plays in my PS3, so your X360 should handle it ok iluvdvds.
I've also the Studio Media Madness Dutch ( R2 ) PAL version , which will play on a UK player, or Console no problem .

If it will work on a machine/game console made by Sony it should work on anything as I gather their DVD players are hard to hack.All my machines had remote hacks with the exception of my Acoustic Solutions (!) dvd recorder which was all region straight from the box.This site is an excellent guide to hackable dvd machines:-

La Antena - it's out in August and it's one of the best films I've seen in a long time. Fans of experimental, expressionist and Silent-era films will be in awe when they sit this in their player!
