Bought them both today. Have to say that I haven't been disappointed with any of these AGFA release, probably because I buy them knowing exactly what i'm going to get. Case in point, I watched Barry J. Gillis' Things on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, so know exactly what to expect with Wicked World. |
Oh, WW is a world away from Things ... visually :laugh: I await your review keenly ..... |

Ok, I did give it a quick spin, and yes, it is visually superior (but that's not saying a lot [emoji23]) |
Hence the emphasis ;) I have a few of Gillis' things now. They are all their own genre imho. :nod::rolleyes: |
2 Attachment(s) NEW TO THE BLACK LABEL 101 Films presents Ghostwatch (1992), a BBC production that terrified Britain on 31st October 1992, released on Blu-ray for the first time. Despite being part of BBC Drama's Screen One series, the presence of trusted presenters, along with the quality of the production, convinced thousands of people that the events depicted on screen were genuine, and taking place live. Title 028 on the 101 Films Black Label, this 30th anniversary edition includes a new documentary on the making of Ghostwatch, a new commentary, limited edition packaging featuring newly commissioned artwork, a booklet with new writing on the film and more. An inspiration to a generation of filmmakers, and years ahead of the profusion of found footage movies that would follow, Ghostwatch is regarded as a classic of the genre and remains as relevant, as terrifying, and as inspirational today. Sarah Greene and Craig Charles report from a reputedly haunted London home for the outside broadcast, while Michael Parkinson and Mike Smith stay in the warmth and "safety" of a BBC studio. The Early family are allegedly being harassed by the ghost 'Pipes', so named as his banging and crashing were initially attributed to bad plumbing. After a deliberately slow start the tension gradually builds, culminating in a terrifying crescendo. Although entirely fictional, the masterly combination of great scripting, intuitive direction and perfect casting made the supernatural pastiche appear frighteningly real. SPECIAL FEATURES • ‘Do You Believe In Ghosts?’, a brand new 30th anniversary documentary on the Ghostwatch phenomenon • Commentary with film historians Shellie McMurdo and Stella Gaynor • Commentary with writer Stephen Volk, producer Ruth Baumgarten and director Lesley Manning • Shooting Reality by Lesley Manning • Limited Edition Booklet: Includes ‘Extra Sensory Perception Management’ by Sarah Appleton, ‘Ghostwatch – As it Happened’ by Tim Murray and short story ‘31/10’ by Ghostwatch writer Stephen Volk • Reproduced script, annotated by director Lesley Manning • Set of six art cards • Newly commissioned artwork |
Perhaps shamefully, I've never seen Ghost Watch, so that looks like a stellar release to rectify that and provide me with some new viewing for Halloween. |
I know it probably doesn't make a difference but it's released on the same day as Top Gun: Maverick |

Though he would achieve wider success in the 1980s with hit comedies such as Porky’s (1981) and A Christmas Story (1983), Clark’s run of three horror movies a decade earlier — low budget horror-comedy ‘Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things’ (1972), chilling Vietnam War critique 'Deathdream' (AKA Dead of Night) (1974) and genre-defining slasher masterpiece 'Black Christmas' (1974) — ensure his legacy as a master of the horror genre.

Will anyone survive?

Initially, Barb encourages the mysterious caller but stops when he responds threateningly. Soon, Barb’s friend Claire (Lynne Griffin) goes missing from the sorority house and a local adolescent girl is murdered, leading the girls to suspect a serial killer is on the loose. The police finally begin to get concerned when a teenage girl is found dead in the park - they set up a wiretap to the sorority house, but no one realizes just how near the killer really is!

What horrendous artwork. Shouldn't have put Black Christmas in this set seeing as most of us will already own the 101 release. |

Anyway, I'll hold out for a standalone Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things release. |
Quote:
Same, I’ve already got 2 copies and I don’t need 3 of them haha! |
I might get depending on how long the documentary on bob Clark documentary is and if it also covers his non horror work |
it's the same one that's on the Children shouldn't play with dead things release and it's from VCI and it's 72 minutes a shame that they could not get the special features from the third disc from the children shouldn't film and it's also a shame the did not get the special features from the us release of deathdream and as for black christmas there is more on the us release than there is on the uk version |

True. Not sure why they didn't use it this time. |
101 have a sale on AGFA titles anyone recommend anything I have never seen one of them. https://101-films-store.com/collections/sale |
Quote:
The transfer is quite ropey as it's taken from the only known surviving print but perhaps appropriate given subject matter. I recommend it. For a tenner it's worth a blind buy and you can always get some of your money back on ebay if you don't like it. I've also seen Dr. Humpp which is terrible but has stacks of sixties saggy tits in it :lol: Come to think of it I might get that one just to see if I was hallucinating the first time I saw it ;) |
What i've read about them really puts me off. Unfinished films, awful looking prints, porn minus any porn Seems pointless to me. All the films they could have got from Vinegar Syndrome they get these. :rolleyes: |
Of the few I've seen, they are all .... unique .... cough. If you want to pretend to be RLM in your own house, Wicked World. BEWARE, it is not an easy watch (not graphic, just off kilter ahem). Looking at the selection, I wish I had some spare £ myself ahem, as that Run Coyote Run did make me cry with the laughter (not a comedy). :behindsofa: |
Yeah doing my research I'm not convinced honestly. |
I want to say they all look crap but to be honest I've not been interested enough to actually investigate properly. Because they all look crap....bit of a paradox. Sent from my SM-G780G using Tapatalk |
Bit disappointed they didn't have Bat Pussy :lol: |
Just seen 101 are releasing stand alone discs of Deathdream and Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things at the end of May. |
The Evil Force aka Meatcleaver Massacre coming soon from 101 Films. https://www.bbfc.co.uk/release/the-e...jpwwc0zmtq1njk |

Isn’t that the one Chris Lee was duped into? Great poster which I first saw in Hammer House of Horror but I understand the movie is crap :nono::nono: |
Quote:
Yes, Chris Lee is in one scene. I watched this recently. It’s available to stream for free (with ads) on Plex. I quite liked it, but the one thing I remember is that there wasn’t a single meat-cleaver killing! Haha [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
