Did anyone who had problems sort it out in the end or could anyone else help me with this as I don't no if it's a problem with another faulty disk or if there is a problem playing that title on some machines. All other Blu rays work including a couple from 88 films. Any help would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately I had the same problem with my Sony BDP S360, even with the latest firmware update. It wouldn't play THE BOGEY MAN and a few other 88 discs. Like you, I was going to theoretically be stuck with a shed load of discs I couldn't play, so I've ended up buying a new player - and not a Sony, either.

Thank Mojo I have received an email from 88 films pretty much saying the problem is with that model and the fact that Sony have stopped doing updates for it. Might be time for me to upgrade to a multiregion Blu Ray now.

Nice! Glad to see this one finally hit Blu after Shriek Show's version never happened.

Great news, even if the film is a bit shit!

Is this the one with the recycled jeep footage from Zombi?

I can never remember. They all blend into one when you haven't watched them for a couple of years.

All except Killing Birds Zombie 4. That's just bad...and not in a good way.
