Why Kevin Francis is withholding The Ghoul and The Legend Of The Werewolf is a mystery.

I'm always drawn to Satan's Blade in the "so bad its good" department. Is it just me? I think I need help.

Must be the Hysteria continues commentary. They're fantastic. Anyone listen to their podcast?

Anyone know if the HG Lewis and Buttergeit sets are going ahead tomorrow?

Only Amazon seem to have it for order,no Zavvi,no Hmv,not even Arrow....:confused:

Just ordered The Zero Boys.

It's not a film i was really aware of but i've enjoyed all the Nico Mastorakis films i've seen previously and it seems like it plays around in action, survival, slasher territory so that made it appeal.

Think might order the Lewis set seems good value for £30 does it'd have all the extras the first release had?

Seems so:

Bought the HG Lewis set and Sartana.:nod:

I've put a few bits in my basket then taken them back out again. I know its petty but when the delivery charge gets added it just doesn't feel worth it anymore.

I know exactly what you mean.

It excludes the documentary 'The Godfather of Gore' which has it's own disc, and the exclusive 1.33:1 versions of 5 films. It's definitely fantastic value at £30.00

I was debating picking up the Buttgereit set but in the end I decided against it. Probably snag it for £25 sometime down the line. Ended up with HG Lewis Feast / Dekalog / Climax / The Andromeda Strain.

HMV have the 2 for £15 promotion running on Arrow. Picked up Nightbreed and Friedkins To Live and Die in LA.

I see Arrow have ‘Videoman’ streaming on their VOD service. I don’t have access to it, but it a great movie. I’d recommend it [emoji106] [emoji106]

New announcements announcement is a photo of a rock, I swear to god if they release anything by that talentless wrestler, I’m having an Arrow Video bbq this weekend :lol:

After Vin Diesel it wouldn't surprise me. They'll be releasing Marvel stuff next.

Maybe it's the actual movie The Rock???

I’d actually buy that because I’ve never upgraded my DVD.

Michael Bay haters will have a full on blu rage meltdown if it is :lol:

Some people think it's Southland Tales.

I might be wrong but was The Rock Criterion?

I think it was :nod:

The Arrow Thread
 

Or this?

Attachment 228770

Yeah, I saw that, just checking the weather forecast for this weekend, can’t have a bbq in the rain :lol:

Balancing rocks are a noted feature of the Chihuahuan Desert


The Chihuahuan Desert is a part of the West Texas Desert


What film starts with a youngster giving a lift to a man in the West Texas Desert?

they've had postcards for southland tales for about a year now so it must be that or the hitcher.

That and Armageddon!

Criterion must've needed funds boosted back then!:lol:

****!
BEAT ME TO IT!:lol:

More than likely. It's been that long i'd forgotten Arrow were releasing it.

You been in Fopp this week S?

It's on Filmfour next Wednesday morning at 1.40am.

There's a Zavvi exclusive 4K UHD Steelbox version of 'Oldboy' coming

Thought it was a He Got Game steelbook.....:pound:

Anyone bought the Buttergeit set/or know if it contains seperate amarays?

Doesn’t seem to be images anywhere....

I bet it’s the same as the Bava set and like a book, same goes for the HG Lewis one :nod:

I have it. Lots of debits. The slipcase is not the usual heavy duty efforts. It's flimsier but not as bad as major studio efforst e.g. Alien Anthology. It contains only two amarays containing two discs in each. Nekromaantik/Der Todesking in one, Nekromantik 2/Schramm in the other. Only the new artwork is available on the amaray sleeves.

Few complaints of miss-selling on blurage.

NEW UK TITLE: Oldboy (4K UHD Blu-ray)

Release date: January 25th

Often cited as one of the best films of the 2000s and possibly the definitive example of extreme Asian cinema, Oldboy – directed with immense flair by Park Chan-wook - is a brutal, lyrical modern classic of the revenge genre

"Often cited as one of the best films of the 2000s and possibly the definitive example of extreme Asian cinema, Oldboy is a brutal, lyrical modern classic of the revenge genre.

Based on the Japanese manga of the same name, the film tells the horrific tale of Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik), a businessman who is inexplicably kidnapped and imprisoned in a grim hotel room-like cell for 15 years, without knowing his captor or the reason for his incarceration. Eventually released, he learns of his wife’s murder and embarks on a quest for revenge whilst also striking up a romance with a young, attractive sushi chef, Mi-do (Kang Hye-jung). He eventually finds his tormentor, but their final encounter will yield yet more unimaginable horrors...

Directed with immense flair by Park Chan-wook (JSA, The Handmaiden) as the second instalment of his Vengeance Trilogy, Oldboy blazed a trail at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival where it was lauded by the President of the Jury, director Quentin Tarantino. The film went on to become a huge international smash, blowing audiences’ minds with its concoction of filmmaking virtuosity, ingenious plotting, violence and pathos. Now, this masterpiece has been restored in 4K and is presented here with the feature-length documentary Old Days, and a massive array of extras."

NEW UK TITLE: [REC] (Blu-ray)

Release date: January 4

Fusing the zombie genre with the “found footage” format to throw the audience right into the midst of the action, [REC] is a terrifying, relentless rollercoaster ride which builds to one of the horror genre’s all time bone-chilling climaxes.

"28 Days Later meets The Blair Witch Project as a mysterious virus turns the inhabitants of an apartment building into a horde of frenzied, bloodthirsty ghouls in [REC] - the original 2007 “found footage” phenomenon that spawned a hit franchise and US remake.

A television film crew, documenting the night shift of a Barcelona fire brigade, get much more than they bargained for when they attend an apparently routine call-out. Upon arrival at an inner city apartment, the firefighters are viciously attacked by the elderly female occupant, who appears to be in the throes of some sort of viral infection. Before long, the virus has taken hold of the entire building, which is cordoned off by the authorities. Trapped inside, the television crew - using their cameras to capture the events as they unfold - and the other remaining survivors find themselves pitched into a nightmare of unimaginable proportions.

Fusing the zombie genre with the “found footage” format to throw the audience right into the midst of the action, [REC] is a terrifying, relentless rollercoaster ride which builds to one of the horror genre’s all time bone-chilling climaxes"
