I refuse to buy it because only the theatrical cut is in HD. People are also reporting that the DVD which contains the DC is not present in the Blu-ray set, as advertised, but that's only hearsay at this point and I wouldn't put much credence on it. I'm steering well clear of this release, though. I'll stick with my DVD of the unrated Director's Cut, which is Barker's preferred version. By only inlcuding the theatrical cut in HD it's a bit of a slap in the face for Clive Barker. After all the interference Barker suffered with Nightbreed, when he signed up to do Lord of Illusions he made it absolutely clear that he would be able to assemble a proper cut on home video should alterations be made for its theatrical exhibition. He went to great pains to ensure that this would happen and that he wouldn't get shafted again. Barker also made sure that the DC wasn't some cobbled together affair, and that it would be put together using pristine materials and would be the equal, in quality, of the theatrical cut. If Barker felt it so important to preserve his unaltered vision for home video, why is it we're only getting the theatrical version? Barker has been very plain speaking in that the materials for the DC are in pristine shape and I would think are more than ready for an HD upgrade.

As a result, I won't be buying this release.

And even cheaper at the marketplace - possibly the better option for buyers outside of the UK.

Seeing as the UK FROM BEYOND blu has gotten so cheap now I'd like to pick it up but I'm just wondering if it has the original artwork/title font on the reverse? Not really a fan of that new artwork.

No, it doesn't have the original artwork unfortunately.

How are they with customs, though? As they seem to include shipping, so not sure how it's marked on customs slip.

[oaxaca]

Dunno, may be a customs risk. I got away with it the other week when they had the same offer on. Forgot to check the front of the package to see if they had marked it down. I bet if you told them you wanted to avoid a customs charge in the paypal note then they would be obliging.

Got 2 blurays delivered from Raro last weekend as part of their last offer and the package was marked as $10
