An eye for horror is a great documentary - saw it on Channel 4 years ago. Nice one. Will be buying this because I lost my VHS years ago and haven't seen the movie in ages.

I also hope I'm not alone in saying that extras are a big appeal for people double-dipping with these movies (or first time purchasers). The feedback on City of the Living Dead would seem to indicate that.

Now. Here's the full INFERNO listing:

THIS AMAZING 30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION CONTAINS:

- Reversible sleeve with original and newly commissioned art work

- Double-sided fold out Poster

- Collector’s Booklet featuring brand new writing on Inferno by Alan Jones, author of Profondo Argento

- High Definition Presentation of the film (1080p)

- Optional 7.1 DTS-HD/2.0 Stereo Audio

SPECIAL FEATURES:

- Introduction to Inferno by star Daria Nicolodi

- Dario's Inferno (16 mins interview with Dario Argento)

- Acting in Hot Water: An Interview with Daria Nicolodi (18 mins interview)

- The Other Mother: Making the Black Cat (16 mins) In 1989 director Luigi Cozzi (a long time friend and collaborator of Dario Argento) decided to make the unofficial follow-up to Inferno and 'complete' the Three Mothers legacy. This feature looks at the torrid history of The Black Cat, with plenty of clips too!

- Dario Argento: An Eye for Horror (57 mins) Mark Kermode narrates this documentary on Argento’s career including interviews with George A. Romero and John Carpenter

- The Complete Dario Argento Trailer Gallery [18 films]

- Easter Egg (5 mins of Dario Argento in English, with random memories of Inferno)
Nice looking release and am glad to see you've included a Mark Kermode piece, who incidently is my favourite film critic especially with the 5 Live film reviews.

Any word on the resolution of the extras? SD, 1080P, 1080i?

I'm keeping my ABUS DVD for it's intact status but the impressive and superior bonus material backing up Arrow's edition have been the deciding factor for me to pre-order their Inferno release.

In principle, i would never normally buy a truncated DVD or BR when a complete version exists elsewhere. But the sheer number and wealth of extras have compensated for the censor interference imo and i suspect this may also be the case should Deep Red still suffer snips.

I am very excited for this release! City Of The Living Dead on blu-ray was a beautiful release, and Inferno looks to be just as good. I already own all these films on dvd, but am happy to double dip for blu-ray releases with new extras and put together in a such beautiful package, as Arrow has been doing. Keep up the good work guys! I will continue to support all your blu-ray releases of these Italian horror classics.

I am also really curious to see the bit on Luigi Cozzi film "The Black Cat". I've always wanted to hear more about the story behind that film. And of course, listening to Dario and Daria talk is always a pleasure.

I'm convinced that some years ago one of Sky's movie channels screened this version of TBC several times in one of those 'Let's put any old rubbish on' early morning slots. Never got the chance to catch it.

Beautiful extras, even though I already own An Eye For Horror on a separate disc.

I'm also curios to see whether they will be featured in HD!

Our extras were shot in HD and may well make it to BD on HD too!

Do you know if they'll be 1080i/50hz or 1080P?
It will make a difference to some US customers. There was some disappointment with the COTLD extras that may influence people to not pick up this release if the extra goodies are not playable. Although there's no Blue Underground release to tempt people to stay local this time.
