HELL NIGHT arrived today. Another excellent package from 101 :clap: |

Not really a fan of the new art on the case. Should've used that on the slip instead. |
Getting jealous now. My Hell Night is arriving by 31st according to Amazon. It really is one of the best 80s slashers. The carpet scene is just incredible. Aside from this, I dont know anything about these recent announcements. Are they any good? |

Suburbia reminds me of one of Arrows recent releases, Over The Edge. What I thought of Over The Edge was that it was a slow build up and the finale (Where all hell breaks loose) didn't live up to the expectations. So does Suburbia have more action throughout the film (or is it mostly talking) |

Love the extras on Hell Night, but I cant say I'm happy with the print. It's the same grainy print as my Noche Infernal spanish blu ray with blue lines down the screen, hazy look, spots, scratches etc. It honestly looks like it hasn't been cleaned up one bit. Overall, I wouldnt recommend anyone bother with the 101 films Hell Night if you are thinking about upgrading a preexisting copy of the movie. The extras are great, and it's an amazing film if you've not seen it, but it still looks like garbage and isnt an upgrade of any version out there in the international market. Also, I know I'm going to get pelters for this, but the 101 mini book on the movie is in that same mini font/all over the place style as Spookies. Overall 10/10 if youve never seen it, or 6/10 if you already have it. Does anyone know why Hell Night looks so absolutely terrible in every release? It's not exactly obscure. My guess is that one company remastered it (badly) and everyone else is sub-licencing the print. |
Hell Night is now out of stock on Amazon. Wouldn't surprise me if supplies of the limited edition were running low everywhere now. |

101 have announced a 'Best of the summer sale' weekend sale. https://101-films-store.com/collecti...eid=2d567ca266 I might as well ask. Are Runaway and Space Hunter any good? I do seem to recall a few bought Runaway but nobody has actually said if they liked it. |
I seem to remember (from a television screening, many years ago) that 'Runaway' is a very entertaining science fiction film |
I haven't got round to watching Runaway since i bought it recently but I also saw it on TV a few times growing up and enjoyed it. I rewatched Spacehunter a few years ago and really enjoyed it again, I think it's underrated. |

Thought i'd get Spacehunter and save Runaway for the next sale. |
'The Last Broadcast' (1998) - Ltd edition Blu-Ray pre-order available from 101 Films direct - £16:99 Release date: December 6 "101 Films presents trailblazing mystery The Last Broadcast (1998). Released on Blu-ray for the first time, Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler’s chilling feature debut is a landmark in the history of the found footage genre. This Limited Edition Blu-ray release includes a new 30 minute interview with the directors, newly-commissioned slipcase artwork from legendary comics artist Stephen R. Bissette, and a booklet with expert writing on the film and the found footage genre from the directors of feature documentary The Found Footage Phenomenon (2021). In 1995 a four-man team from the cable-access program Fact or Fiction braved the desolate New Jersey Pine Barrens determined to deliver a live broadcast of legendary monster, the Jersey Devil. Only one came out alive. The lone survivor was sentenced to life in prison, but filmmaker David Leigh is convinced that he's innocent. Could the Jersey Devil still haunt the barrens?" Special Features and specs:
Note - The cover art is 'clean', with title on an external sticker |
One to pass on for me. When i saw the email i thought why? It's a found footage thing, not exactly demanding of a blu-ray release at eighteen quid. The dvd usually can be found for a quid (Or less) |

Decent movie just a shame the ending was totally messed up |

I actually do enjoy The Last Broadcast, so I'll probably buy it. Just a shame that the artwork looks utter shit :lol: |
I actually enjoyed it, was impressed with what they were able to achieve at the time for that budget. But yeah, not exactly something that's going to look better on blu ray. |
1 Attachment(s) I'll no doubt buy it again. I've not seen it since the days of magnetic tape..... |

AGFA exists to preserve the legacy of genre movies, and from January some of the weirdest and wildest films ever committed to celluloid will be released on Blu-ray and digital on this side of the Atlantic for the first time" One of the first releases in the range will be the sleazy and terrifying 'EFFECTS' (1980) - pre-order available from 101 Films direct - £15:00 Release date: January 10 "Part of the American Genre Film Archive range. The initial run comes with Limited Edition 'O-ring' packaging. Cobbled together with loose change by George Romero's friends, EFFECTS is a mesmerizing D.I.Y. frightmare that no one talks about, but everyone should. A group of coked-up filmmakers -- including Tom "DAWN OF THE DEAD" Savini, Joe "DAY OF THE DEAD" Pilato, and John "TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE" Harrison -- gather in Pittsburgh to make a slasher. As filming begins and "accidents" happen, it's clear that something isn't right. EFFECTS is a meta-enhanced takedown on the philosophy of horror that doubles as a sleazy and terrifying movie on its own." Special features:

From the outrageous fight scenes to Harmon’s incredible outfits, LADY STREET FIGHTER is a joyous blast of no-holds-barred chaos from one of the most important lady filmmakers in genre history. Don’t miss the special appearance by Trace Carradine, the most elusive Carradine brother of all!" Special features:

I have Effects but not watched it. I was going to get The Zodiac Killer in the next sale but will have to hold off now. I'm also a bit surprised as I expect most of these will need submitting to the BBFC for their usual extortionate fee. As Justin says they are very niche so I can't see them selling many. |
If they put the The Sword and The Claw I will buy it. |

Vinegar Syndrome are titles that are ordered via specialist websites whereas these can be got from places like HMV, Amazon...etc. Saw the trailers, Effects interests me but not sure about Lady Street Fighter but I'm hoping that they change the cover art. They are not exactly the best in my opinion. |
