Bloodstained Shadow is windowboxed too. It's now obvious Raro Video and 88 Films use the same lab in Italy. Raro's most releases are windowboxed too.

Yep, windowboxed on my tv when I have the aspect ratio set at "just scan". That being said, I think the transfer on this looks pretty good

I actually own the Raro nightmare city (courtesy of Zoverstocks REEEAAL cheap) and didn't think the transfer was all that bad (though I WILL be upgrading to the Arrow release)

For what its worth, I've heard its a dear do actually getting anywhere near the negatives for a lot of Italian titles and quite often a scan is all that's affordable.

That said, given the option ahead of time I'd have probably happily crowd-funded an Anthropophagus restoration, I kicked in £20 on zombie Holocaust with pleasure.

Perhaps its time we had a thread dedicated to crowd funding? One or two things I've backed could have used some added support.

Yes, the screenshots 88 Films posted looked very good.

Sorry for my continuous rant on 88 Films but this company is a joke, well their customer service is. They never replied to any of my emails or messages I want to cancel my pre-order of Anthropophagus now but they won't respond. Tell me please if I open a paypal dispute what should I tell paypal?

Sorry to hear about your troubles trying to reach 88films, Antro

I'm glad I stayed away from pre-ordering the disc from 88films, and I probably won't buy directly from their store, after hearing about the problems people have, trying to cancel their orders.

I rather wait for 6 months and buy it way cheaper at another store.
Especially since their shipping to Sweden is pretty high as well.

Btw, I notices that Burial Ground is not listed on their website anymore.
Amazon still have it listed, with a release date in november.

Got worried there for a while, that it silently got canceled

I'll never order anything directly from them again, never! I don't think they have cancelled Burial Ground. If they do something like that I can imagine what will happen. A lot of people have paid for Zombi Holocaust and Burial Ground many months ago.

Don't forget it's Bank Holiday Monday today so they may not be back at work until tomorrow.

On the other hand, I accidentally pre-ordered two titles at once around the time they started the latest pre-order dispatch date warning (because I'm a dummy).

One item was due to be released much sooner than the other, so I emailed 88 about possibly dispatching them separately - figuring I was shit out of luck.

They got back to me in about five minutes, telling me it wouldn't be a problem... So at least that went well.

(I do think the Anthro screenshot looks like reheated arse biscuits though)
