I have never seen God of Gamblers, but it sounded good so I used some points and got a healthy discount on an order with it, The Whip and the Body, and Ark of the Sun God.

From FB:

"Hi everyone, sorry for for the lack of "official" reaction to the complaints about our Hell of the Living Dead BD/UHD release.

We have taken them seriously although it has taken time to work out the best way to address them, but we have been busily getting them addressed and yesterday we viewed a new Dolby Vision HDR regraded version with the English audio synch tidied up and its definitely much better now.

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.

n.b. We are also planning to do the same with House on the Edge of the Park but that one is quite a bit more involved to get the framing perfect as we'll need to start from scratch basically and it will take a while.)"

Sounds like an expensive oversight.

I didn't buy the 4k disc of Hell of.., as I'd never seen it before and so I bought a used bluray in CEX last month for £6, I loved it, but it doesn't seem the kind of film that would need to look any better, and there is so much stock footage used. I did buy the Cannibal Holocaust one though which looked brilliant. Listened to the Kim Newman and Barry Forshaw commentary track which was amusing lol.

Yeah I was tempted to buy the 4K but like you said not sure it needs to be a good looking film and I have the 88 blu ray already

I bought both direct from 88 Films, but haven't watched them yet. I'll probably hold off until I receive replacement discs with the rectified AV issues.
