The illustrated booklet in the UK Anchor Bay release of Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue is absolutely superb.

The Cinema Club release of Cannibal Apocalypse also has a fascinating insert detailing the film's history and later problems, though the text layout is messy.

Bit lazy with the artwork for TLDATMM......

I prefer the ABUS artwork.....and any of the other 2 below,would have been superb!

Great to see TLDATMM and CA heading our way for a second time. Also good to see the latter's original VHS artwork making an appearance but knowing Optimum's erratic track record for extras will these DVD reissues actually boast any bonus material?

Obviously if so, i'll buy 'em. But if not, i'll be sticking with the previous editions of both films which were well adorned with juicy extras.

Cannibal Apocalypse is just the film. No extras. Keep the Cinema Club release instead.

Cannibal Apocalypse

You already know the technical characteristics of this dvd?
Will also have italian audio?

They dropped the ball completely with Rosemary's Killer though.

Quote:

The trailer was atrocious too. The US one with The Prowler voiceover but replacing the text with Rosemary's Killer whenever the title was said. At least the disc was uncut.

The Prowler was released in Europe as Rosemary´s Killer, with different artwork than the one from American Market. I remember when I saw it back in the 80´s at the movies here in Portugal it had the same movie poster as Optimim´s dvd. The only difference being white instead of read. When I rent it on VHS it had the same cover. It´s like 2 movies on it´s own, one for the American market and another for the European market. I do own the R1 "The Prowler" and I´m very happy with it but for me, for nostalgic reasons "The Prowler" will always be "Rosemary´s Killer".

-----------------------------

Regarding "A Lizard In A Woman´s Skin", can you guys tell me if the movie passed completely uncut on the BBFC? I saw this movie many years ago and remember there were many slaughtered animals.

----------------------------

Has any of you guys bought the "Stephen King" box set from Optimum that has "Maximum Overdrive", "A Cat´s Eye" and "Silver Buller"?

If so, can anyone tell me if "A Cat´s Eye" and "Silver Buller" have the audio commentaries from the Momentum edition?
