Motel Hell is good fun in a kind of Evil Dead way (though not as good), well worth picking up in the sale IMO

I've not seen the other two though, so I can't comment on them

Indeed, the Black Sunday release comes with another whole film, I Vampiri!

As for Turkey Shoot, if you're impatient and can't wait for the US blu ray. The Aus blu ray of the remake has the original remastered in HD from the negatives, no idea of the quality though.

theyve remade Turkey Shoot???

It's quite dire from what I've heard. It recieved a very small cinema release here and then a home video release to no fanfare. It's supposedly like a futuristic battle Royale type thing, where prisoners are in a game show type combat situation and they fight big competitors

It sounds rubbish, but if the remake means the original will get a HD upgrade then I'll be happy. Turkey Shoot ('82) is brilliant!

Hope this is just a mistake putting the BBFC logos on the original artwork instead of the new one.

Well this release has always had that poster as it's main artwork from the announcment onwards, so Arrow probably didn't want to out the same art on the back again, and opted for an alternate artwork.

Not a fan though, seems like a silly move.

Yeah, I hope it's a one-off or a mistake. Annoying that it'll be the only one on my shelf with the logo on the spine, since I never use the new artwork (took the slips off the other ones like Withnail).
