Won't be buying it again.

This is kinda what i mean ,
companies keep churning out the same film over and over again tcm, evil dead,
driller killer how many different companies and releases have there been ?
i would much prefer a company to release a film that only been released once or hard to find or never been transfered from vhs yet, something along those lines instead of keep releasing the same films again and again .

For a minute there I thought 88 might have gone back and done some colour correction. That said I'm happy enough with the version out.

BEYOND THE DARKNESS is the main film they need to go back and do colour correction for.
Now that does need a new edition.

A complete re-scan of Blade in the Dark would be nice too, it has horrible scanner noise which really affects the viewing experience.

Agreed. And I thought it was quite soft and dull looking as well.

And while they're at it, EMANUELLE AND THE LAST CANNIBALS, too.
The night scenes were awful.

You'd think they'd get people's names correct in press releases.

Look forward to the release though.

It can come from the moon and it still would be a rubbish film imo.
