Yeah, any ideas where to buy an English subbed version of Suicide Circle/Club? Searched and searched but found nothing.

TLA Releasing is handling the R1 version, and according to their web site, it will be available on July 15. Keeping my fingers crossed.....

Cool. Thanks for the info. Never heard of this company. Hopefully it's reputable info (i.e. they're right) and it'll be a decent release.

Doesn't really look like a film that fits into their (TLA) 'niche'.

Well there is only 1 film that everyone has to see, almost everyone who sees it thinks its one of the greatest action/zombi films ever!

That film is the film of the Year VERSUS....


no film even comes close to this, it is the best film and the 1st film I saw this year, it is just amazing, not too much of a horror film, but it has plenty of blood guts and gore, just picture the scene, japanese Yakuza, armed to the teeth with as many weapons as they can carry, Vs loads of Zombies! you just cannot beat this film at all.

it is currently out in Japan to buy, I have this version, but its very expensive at around $50
but it is coming to america/canada very soon, just check out DVDSOON.COM or AMAZON canada, its about $17, for the proper uncut directors cut, and You will love it as much as so many other film fans.

TLA has done a good job as one of the 2 or 3 primary distributors for gay/lesbian indie-festival-type movies in the past few years... I think they started out as a simple online movie shop, known more for their smart design and good descriptions & selection than for competitive pricing... But they've grown smartly and steadily...

If they're branching out into general foreign releasing they'll probably do a fine job... Their releases so far have been solid, albeit very low budget, without a lot of extras...
