Maybe 88 need to be more specific?

I think only with a very large amount of time, money, and specific care to the film, can it achieve it's best. Standard labs I think will never be able to bring out the best in an exploitation film, and as a result that's when I expect a film to never look good, until it escapes a standard lab into a specific labels' hands for specific restoration, like VinSyn and Arrow.

I never expected the Italian collection to be good. That's why I've remained quiet on this issue, because yes Anthro looks fairly poor and digital, and Blade not as bad, but just really lacking in detail, that I guessed all of these would be produced in Italian labs, so they wouldn't look great.
