The 88 Films Thread

[JAMIOUSE]

Blood Sucking Freaks I've seen before when the Horror Channel showed it, I wasn't massively impressed. Lets hope that with 88's recent announcement more slashers are on their way, because lets face it between the late seventies and early eighties lots were made!

It's not great, but I quite like it.

I knew about The Slayer, but Funeral Home is news to me. Can't wait.

Bill from Code Red let slip that 88 were trying to lisence Vinegar Syndromes new 4K of Madman for the UK, as well as Sweet Sixteen off someone.

This line is going to be good

Has Last Horror film been put back?

No one online seems to have it and I spent a roasting hot Glasgow holiday yesterday traipsing around the city centre to no avail!

I thought it wasn't out until lthe 28th?

So 88 are planning The Slayer, Funeral Home, Sweet Sixteen and Madman as future releases? My my three of those I'm especially interested in Madman I've been going to buy for years but have never got around to it. I like the idea of studios helping each other or offering their remastered masters for licensing to other companies, theres no reason why companies couldn't combine their efforts and funds to make HD masters. Especially if their covering different terrotries like Vinger and 88 do.

Imagine if Synapse allowed Arrow to use their 'amazing' master of Demons?

I think it's very disappointing 88 Films only release things like Last Horror Film and Bloodsucking Freaks on blu only.

You really would think they'd at least do dual formats like every other company.

I had BSF preordered then they cancelled it. Very poor show in my opinion.

I know what you mean, who in their right mind would want to see Joe do his stripper fantasy from LHF in HD.
