Is their DVD output generally of decent quality? i.e. not a Vipco. Should we be expecting good things from their first BD releases? What makes Murder Obsession not so great a giallo?
Raro are an Italian company and have been releasing DVD's in Italy for years and most of them are superb with great transfers and extras (often in english, too ). http://www.dvdaf.com/search.html?pub...o%2F%2F*rgn_eu

Funnily enough their Italian release of MURDER OBSESSION is one of the worst discs they put out IMO.

Raro's US DVD has been remastered and looks miles ahead of the import (there's even talk of a Blu edition next year).

MURDER OBSESSION at DVD Drive-In.

Likewise, have only seen Iguana and have heard differing opinions regarding Murder Obsession. Still on the fence with that one, although it's still on my Amazon wish list!

There are reports that Mario Bava finished I Vampiri (after Freda walked away) and also directed part of Caltiki though.
Thus supposedly getting his first chance at directing.
Have a read through my Freda and Bava bios for more on the relationship between the pair.
