The review in So Deadly, So Perverse doesn't rate it very highly. Still I will no doubt be purchasing the slipcover edition.

Have the Indiegogo pledgers received their copies of Anthro yet? I got the email last week saying they'd be shipped but so far I haven't received anything...

Mine came today, but they said last week there were so many to ship they're doing them in batches, I imagine more went out today.

"We are not closing the vault now!!

Unleashed in the UK for the first time since the VHS days, 88 Vault is proud to announce the British BluRay debut of the terrifying nature-run-amok classic DOGS (1976). Why is man's best friend attacking its natural partner? And might there be a sinister reason behind the stray pack of canines marauding around San Diego, eager to lock their jaws on anyone stupid enough to offer them a bone? Starring the esteemed Scottish thespian David McCallum (THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.) as a scientist with a maddening mystery to crack, and DALLAS superstar Linda Gray, DOGS is a gory story that is ready to gnash its way into your horror-addicted heart!

As part of the 88 Vault collection, DOGS will soon be barking its way onto British shelves. Don't say you weren't warned!!"

"It all begins here!!!!

In 1967 the legendary director Chang Cheh (THE BRAVE ARCHER/ BOXER FROM SHANTUNG) established the contemporary wuxia sword-play film. The movie in question, THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN, not only led to several sequels and spin-offs but remains, alongside Bruce Lee's pivotal THE BIG BOSS (1971) and Jackie Chan's DRUNKEN MASTER (1978), possibly the most influential martial arts movie ever imagined! Starring the legendary Jimmy Wang (MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE) as a seriously wronged one-limbed loner on a path of vengeance - first time viewers of this eternally iconic motion picture will doubtlessly be taken aback by its blindingly beautiful colour palette and some shocking vicious (and gory) fight sequences. Having not aged one day, it is an eternal sin that THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN still misses out on snotty, sniffy critic lists of the 'best foreign films' ever produced.

See THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN, in glorious HD, and witness the beginning of chopsocky cinema. And 88 Asia is proud to bring this endlessly entertaining classic to UK BluRay!"
