I've never seen it myself but from the description it doesn't sound like my kind of thing. Maybe an eventual rental, but I doubt it.

Another announcement

I really wish they'd stick to one style of cover for their standard releases. It's a little annoying. Blue cases, clear cases, now Criterion style cases. At the very least, take that blu-ray logo off the front of the cover. Everyone will know what it is, especially as it'll be sitting in the blu-ray section.

Email telling me Creepshow 2 has been despatched But that could just mean the label's been printed. Fingers crossed!

Disappointing no horror or giallo

Have 88 sold the business to 101 films? Using the same cases, labeling the spines with the year & genre....

My e-mail had a link which says it's gone from the warehouse and is now with Royal Mail so, with first class delivery, I'll hopefully have it tomorrow.

Here's the text:

Over a year ago (after a successful start to the ITALIAN and SLASHER ranges) we asked you guys and gals what new collection of remastered flicks you wanted to see.

Overwhelmed by the response for an far eastern collection of horror and martial arts we started planning our Bollywood and Sex Comedy Collections. Unfortunately these fell through at the last minute, so instead......

88 Films is proud to announce the launch of our latest collection - 88 Asia!

Before RING, before DARK WATER, before SHUTTER there was HEX

Asian horror cinema was already hitting strikes by the time the1980s dawned and nowhere was more ahead of the curve than the then-British colony of Hong Kong. The city of neon lights and vibrant street life was no stranger to scary movies and HEX was perhaps the island's crowning achievement. Released in 1980, and emerging from the legendary Shaw Bros Studios, whose knack for colourful landscapes and misty atmosphere remains legendary, HEX tells a weird and wonderful story of witchcraft and wanton revenge!

Directed by the late, great Kuei Chih-Hung, whose output also includes the frequently censored "nasty" THE KILLER SNAKES (1974), this formidable Eastern frightener has an abused woman caught in a strange mystery of manslaughter and macabre happenings. To say anything else would be to spoil one of the Orient's most influential terror titles, but rest assured that HEX has a few spooky surprises up its sleeve.

Now gaining its worldwide HD debut from 88 Films, HEX may just be the greatest ghost story you have never seen!
