88 films are releasing Silent Rage with Chuck Norris on November 27 according to blu-ray.com but as we know most of 88films releases have been pushed back about a month or two.

So, we are going to go ahead and reprint these discs with the revised master and implement a replacement programme. We haven't worked out the best way to do this yet bit will obviously let you know once we have the discs in hand in (could still be a few months due to compression, authoring. check disc approval, printing etc).#

If you have bought this from us directly (or do buy it from us until the new versions are in ) we will figure out a way to send these to you automatically so you wont need to contact us.

Please don't contact us yet with proof of purchase etc as we are not
setup to take these details down yet.

Thanks for your patience and honestly we do listen and want to do them best we can, sorry this one has had to take a second go at to get right."
"Hell of the Living Dead Replacement Update

Hi, all of our initial UK discs were sent out at the end of September.
If you have registered your interest for a replacement since then, they will go out in a few weeks time when House on the edge of the Park is also ready.

If you think you should have received one but haven't yet, please contact the lovely Skye at orders@88films.co.uk and she'll be able to help. (Office hours only Mon - Fri 10-5)

International replacements are starting to go out today and will finish early next week. Please allow upto a month for delivery.
Again if you asked to be added after the end of September, they will go out in a few weeks time.

None of the old release is available from our warehouse or from our website now so if you buy from us directly it will be the new version.

If you buy from amazon etc look for the version with the September '23 release date, NOT the February date.

If you are browsing in HMV say, the new ones don't have slipcase, there are other minor differences as well but that's the simplest way to tell. Obviously you could buy the old one and post us the discs back if wanted to but there shouldn't be too many about now.

Just a reminder this replacement programme ends in March '24
Team 88"

I bought this direct from 88 Films and received an envelope with the new 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray discs over a fortnight ago, so I can't fault them for the way they have supported their own customers.

No idea where to put this, so here goes, because 88 Films (after Severin) were the last to release "The Bloody Judge" (1970), which was filmed in Portugal. I just found this wonderful 1969 footage in the RTP archive that may be of interest to future releases, as an extra. It's 6+ minutes, no sound, of filming on location in Leiria and Batalha. I doubt anybody has seen this outside Portugal...

Sale on at the 88Films site

"Sale is now live, most things are discounted, pre-orders are not included, we will be tipping up with stick and we go but this takes unto 10 days now so please be patient *

You can acquire reward points but you can't spend them for the duration of the sale I'm afraid,

Plan is to end it at the end of the month but that it subject to change and we may not run it for that long."


* Presumably this should read: Sale is now live, most things are discounted, pre-orders are not included, we will be TOPPING up with STOCK AS we go but this takes UPTO 10 days now so please be patient.

Some bizarre choices there like Loch Ness, S.W.A.T. and Mosquito Squadron.

Although i'm delighted about Mosquito Squadron.

What are the chances Evil Dead Trap will be uncut? Will all previous cuts be waived?

As for Witchfinder General and Blood on Satan's Claw. I'll be sticking with my Screenbound Blu's which look glorious anyway. Especially as Claw is missing the League of Gentlemen commentary.
