:loveeyes:
Lawdy!

There are rumours that Arrow might have this for the UK.

I heard this. Comes with a free Stained plastic window slipcover. RRP £79.99.

as much as that idea tickles me this movie is just not good enough for a LE release.

I hear ya', however in my eyes it's actually better than anything in the House or Phantasm series. :lol:

Not sure if this has been announced yet, but according to Tim Lucas on Facebook, Kino are releasing The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on blu.
I was going to ask in another thread what the best BD release of this and the other two "Dollars" films were :nod:

"I just finished looking at a preview of Kino's THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY with my commentary synced to it. As I was working on this project, I had to refer many times to the most recent release of the original UA theatrical cut, which was on an MGM Home Entertainment DVD from 1998, so it's burned into my brain how that almost 20-year-old transfer looked. When people see how this 50th Anniversary 4K transfer looks, they are going to fall to their knees. The yellow bias of the previous Blu-ray is completely gone. The restored image quality looks absolutely stunning, and you can feel the depth of the epic compositions in ways I don't think even two-perf Techniscope was fully able to convey. I'm so proud to be a part of this."

Rawhead rex is a terrible piece of s***.


I'll probably still buy it though! :lol:

At least his 'boggle eyes' will look good in 4k

I've never seen it, I know Clive Barker hated what they did with his screenplay, which prompted him to write the Hellbound Heart and make Hellraiser

Its a completely incompetent adaptation of the source material.

However its sort of fun if you like bad films. Rawhead has these weird plastic eyes that seem to bounce around independently. Its real guilty pleasure territory.

Chap on a dead forum I frequented was quite keen to have a 'decent' print of Rex, so that's three copies sold :lol:.
4K though.
Terrible it is ...
But as adaptations go tisn't any worse than Dagon imho ;)

Its far worse than Dagon. Having re-read the story recently I still maintain that's a pretty solid film for an adaptation of lovecraft.

Dagon has fans for sure.
I'm just not one of them.
;)

Four!

I've a soft spot for this piece of nonsense!:happy:

Coming this August from Code Red by way of Kino – a much-requested HD upgrade for Tom McLoughlin’s grave-house spooktacular, ONE DARK NIGHT (1982)! High school senior Julie desperately wants to join the cool clique known as The Sisters – so much so she agrees to spend a night alone in the local mausoleum. Once inside, the group’s other bitchy members decide to ratchet the hazing up a few notches with some costumed scares – but the joke’s on them when they find a “psychic vampire” was just interred there the same day, and he’s hungry! A creepy little horror flick that’s full of great atmosphere and interesting ideas, it’s well remembered by those who caught it unsuspecting in the ‘80s and its reputation has only grown since. Given a decent special edition by Shriek Show in the DVD days, Code Red now bump things up to Blu with a full-blown special edition, not only porting over the old extras, but giving us a second commentary and TONS of brand new interviews. Full specs are below -- street date is August 1st.

Special Features:
* New HD master from various film elements, with extensive color correction exclusive to this release
* Audio commentary with co-writer/director Tom McLoughlin and co-writer Michael Hawes
* New audio commentary with McLoughlin and producer Michael Schroeder
* Alternate Director’s Cut (in standard definition - 1.33:1)

i'm not familiar with this 70s film just released by Kino, but the 'sniper targets hookers' storyline sounds like good old fashioned, politically incorrect, sleazy entertainment...

Emanuelle and the Deadly Black Cobra - 09/01/18
