never seen blood and black lace, gotta admit i was more excited by the unexpected news odeon are releasing horror hospital.

As i've never seen Strange Case before, i'll definitely be buying that one. Been wanting to see that for years.

Will also be picking up Blood And Black Lace as well.

I would love, love, love if Arrow could get the rights to Black Caesar and Hell Up In Harlem. Between Kino, Olive, Arrow and maybe even Shout I thought those two would have been released by now being MGM titles.

Horror Hospital, that's great news!

[Buboven]

Still hoping they release The House That Screamed at some point, though I know that hope is slim

I am happy when any new Bava film is coming tbh. The special features on BABL look terrific aswell.

I have watched it before (on the internet, so not the best pq), but a long while back, when I was nowhere near a fan of Bava's work as I am now so thought it was good but not great. I also watched The Girl Knew Too Much at that time aswell but couldn't even get through it. After recently watching TGWKTM on Arrow's Blu though my opinion of the film completely changed (its now my fav Giallo) so I expect it to be the same B&BL.

I think that Bava's films, considering his visual mastery, really shine on the clarity and detail Blu provides and really allow you to appreciate how good a director he is.

I'm not all that keen on B&BL but think I'll pick up the Blu-ray for the special features like the short film 'Yellow' which I've wanted to see for ages and the appreciation by the directors of Amer. I will then probably sell it on to CeX after watching everything on it Will be nice to see the film finally presented with the vivid colours as intended anyway, I might even enjoy it a little more, who knows!

Well that to me is much better set of announcements, so glad we're getting Blood & Black Lace! ��

[Boo Radley]

Looks like I'm the only one massively under-whelmed..
I saw B&BL years ago and just never got what people saw in it. A boring 1960's giallo with not much going for it... but it appears I'm in the minority here!!
As for the others.... looks like I'll be saving some money come April.
