A barmy, baffling and beguiling cinematic oddity shot on 35mm film in an alternate dimension

When this is a selling point, I'll think, I'll give it a miss.

He's an old trailer,
Looks a bit naff.



So i'd probably enjoy it.
Looks a bit Star time but worse.
Why haven't arrow released Liquid Sky by now?

There are literally stacks of movies released in US that have yet to make it over here that fit the Arrow bill. And even when there is no US release continental countries are often picking up choice titles ahead of Arrow. All I can think is that there are either rights issues or they are asking too much for the license.

What's a little concerning is that with Arrow entering the UHD market they might start milking their previous titles again instead of bringing to market the more obscure titles that have not had their chance on BR or in some instances never had a DVD release.

I wish Vinegar Syndrome would set up a UK arm...

Might!

A joke surely, of course they will. Like i said on another thread. Why release something obscure when you can release Dawn of the Dead for the millionth time (with added postage stamp size hardback book ) and charge seventy quid for it.

Blue Underground are guilty of this too, they just re-released their last 4 releases as 4k UHDs now, so people bought those up as they had new transfers done and brand new 4k encoding, and Blue Underground very tactfully neglected to mention that they were working on the UHDs so I bet a lot of people have bought those twice within 6 months...

Blue Underground have become a huge disappointment to me. I never even look at their stuff nowadays.

During the 00's they were the best label about. Released loads of films from nasties to classic and not so classic cult films. Then they just stopped with all new releases and have been churning the same stuff ever since.

It's as if they got their hands on a large cache of films to begin with and decided not to buy any after that.
