I would like to know if all the newer DVDs/Blu Rays still contain the old TV print and not the newer one?
Here is the review on youtube and 2mins.25secs into the review the atrocious redubbing used in the film.

War Pigs (2015)

Luke Goss and Dolph Lundgren star in this cliched WW2 adventure. The film barely boasts an original scene in it's 90 minutes, aping everything from The Dirty Dozen (1967) to The Devils' Brigade (1968) and yet it works mainly because Goss etal are so damn likable.

Yes it's cheap, (although there is some hardware on show including tanks and halftracks) but it's also brilliantly cheerful and i enjoyed it.

The Initiation. Not seen it before, but i called it within 10 minutes. I think what the film-makers thought were oblique references and foreshadowing were a tad more obvious than they thought. I then had to sit through a further 80 minutes until i was proved right as we get to see some annoying teens get their just deserts after breaking into a shopping mall as part of their high-school initiation. A couple of more sympathetic characters get offed too, so it has some bite. Pretty average stuff, but worth a watch.

Wolf Devil Woman

...not a song by The Cult but a great hammy and camp slice of martial arts/horror madness from the 80s.

The plot follows a woman raised by wolves as she is introduced to society and fights demons and zombies. There are too many stand out scenes to discuss but I especially liked the one when Wolf Devil Woman bites out her own arteries in her arm to use her blood to put out the flames engulfing the male lead character after he has been set on fire!

The Turn of the Screw (2009)

If there's two things the BBC do well it's period drama closely followed by period ghost stories. Putting the two elements together has proved highly successful in the past particularly the much celebrated Ghost Stories For Christmas (1968-2013).

Of course that series was mainly adaptations of MR James classic supernatural stories, whilst The Turn of the Screw is from the similarly named but unrelated Henry James, a gorgeous novella from 1898.

This adaptation starring Downton Abbey regulars Michelle Dockery, Dan Stevens and Sue Johnston retains the spirit of the original story and is a quietly effective little ghost story which builds suspense as it reaches a gripping climax. Dockery is excellent as Ann, (in fact all the cast are uniformly excellent) the new governess at a quiet country mansion where she is required to look after a couple of decidedly creepy kids. Her performance ranges from wide eyed and naive to scarred and downbeat as the mystery unfolds.

The film plays out like a cross between the psychological The Innocents (1961) and Michael Winners sleazier The Nightcomers (1971). The film is fraught with Gothic atmosphere and tension and keeps the subtle approach to horror that is generally lacking in modern ghost stories, via music and shadows seen from the corner of your eye.

Whilst not as good as Clayton's 61 masterpiece, The Turn of the Screw is still worthy of your attention and maintains the high standards of BBC ghost stories.
