I know Vampyres is very good but what about the other two - Whirlpool and The Coming of Sin.

I don't want to be paying £25 for one film if the other two are crap.

Unfortunately I haven't seen the other two either. I once seen a brief clip of a horse going to mount someone in a documentary called Eurotica many years ago which was taken from the Coming of Sin but that's about it.
On a side note there is a very good film made by Larraz under the video title Scream and Die which deserves a B.D release.

There are loads of great extras for each film on here, too, as well as an 80 page booklet. Recommended from me ( if that’s any use! )
I’d love a volume 2.

I was just going to say the same, Mojo - Whirlpool was my favourite of the films in the set - Coming of Sin is definitely weaker but it's still memorable. For £25 you can't go wrong, Demdike.

Vampres alone is worth £25.

The VIOLATION OF THE BITCH artwork is worth the £25!

My TRUE ROMANCE 4K BOXSET arrived today!

That artwork is mad, but the film is nothing like that. From what I remember, it's people riding around on horses in slo mo topless. Very arty for the most part with not alot going on. Whirlpool is definitely the sleaziest one in the set though!

The film IS **** all like that TFC!

A genius 'stroke' of advertising......apparently the film was released in Italy in a hardcore version.....

Has anyone else had any problems with the Arrow blu ray of The Wind? I picked it up from HMV the other day but its only made it into my player tonight. It displays the copyright stuff and then the usual Arrow intro then for some reason goes to a blank screen with just music playing. It appears to be the menu screen but its completely black and not a single button works.
