The German/French DVD and Blu-ray Thread

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Anything directed by De Ossorro has got to be worth a look.

Yeah, I really like de Ossorio's films. Night of the Sorcerers is also a worthwhile watch.

I'm happy enough with my BCI DVD of The Loreley's Grasp for now, but will maybe read some reviews on this one when it's released to see if it is a notable upgrade over the OOP US DVD.

It's great to see some classic Spanish horror appearing on Blu, though. It makes me hopeful for some more Naschy in HD (although I'd be happy for his as yet unreleased films to hit DVD!)

While I was at Diabolik ordering 'Just Before Dawn', I also ordered the German BD mediabook of 'Tales From the Crypt' without doing any research regarding pq, aq, extras etc - did I do the right thing?

Here's a rating I found on a German language blog of the German Anolis BD mediabook of 'Tales From the Crypt':

Film quality: 9 / 10
Picture quality: 9 / 10
Audio (German): 7 /10
Audio (English): 7 / 10
Bonus materials: 7 / 10

That's a relief - thanks bdc.

Are you aware of the fact that the Blind Dead box is just a cheap cash-in that has nothing to do with 'High Definition' at all and is apart from that heavily cut?

I was not. I hope the Loreleys Grasp gets better treatment!!!

I was wondering if anyone has got Dolls or The Serpent and the Rainbow Blu-rays yet, and had any thoughts on these releases? Or, failing that, any links to reviews.

I have The Serpent and the Rainbow. Not a big upgrade over the DVD. Will make screens and post here if you want.

I'd be grateful of that thanks! Can't seem to find the BD on amazon.de, hmm.

EDIT: Found it now. Agh, 29 euros!!!
