Totally new. The one for Mosquito Squadron is excellent too but that is from it's original poster.

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.

TBH, it's good that they have a wide range of genres and they have released films like Couch Trip and Once Upon A Crime.

SWAT isn't really all that bizarre considering they've done Miami Vice and the Van Damme Films.

Apparently they've done a deal with Unearthed Films and after taking a look on their website, I can see that there could be issues with the BBFC over some of their titles.

Do wonder if No Escape and Dark Side Of The Moon may be upcoming soon

In response to a question asking if 'Evil Dead Trap' is uncut.

Didn't signal one release Gold not that long ago or did it get canned?

Not sure there's much I'll buy tbh but in full agreement about some of those covers.
Pretty much all the new artwork that r as good or better then the original are always 88 releases. Should read on the artists they use.

no it was postponed by signal 0ne

It's a very eclectic range of films in the announcement, which I've been thinking about.

I'll probably upgrade Count Dracula from DVD to 4K Ultra HD and, even though I don't think it's a great film, I will probably do the same with The Amityville Horror (I have the US four film collection).

It would make sense to rewatch the A Blade in the Dark Blu-ray (The Italian Collection release from 2015) again to see if that's something I want to upgrade to 4K as well.

I'm unsure whether the Screenbound Blu-ray release of Blood on Satan's Claw can be bettered with a 4K picture, but I'm not ruling out upgrading for better AV quality and new extras. Witchfinder General fits into this category as I am happy with the Odeon Entertainment Blu-ray I have.

I've never seen Gold, The Inspector Wears Skirts 2, Street Law, The Beauty of Beauties, So Close, Evil Dead Trap, Evil Dead Trap 2, Loch Ness, or The Mosquito Squadron, so some of those might find their ways into my collection.

As I have the ArrowDrome Tokyo Decadence DVD, it's another one to rewatch before deciding whether I like it enough to upgrade to Blu-ray.

The one I am least likely to buy is S.W.A.T., a film I saw years ago when I won the DVD in a competition and then sold it because I thought it was rubbish, would never watch it again, and would prefer to have some money!

I actually liked Loch Ness so i'll pick that up. Same with S.W.A.T. and So Close.
