Not a revelatory bargain, but if you're into Asian cult cinema, Discotek's catalog has some great titles. A lot of these DVDs are slightly cheaper than the average price you'd find at online retailers.

I might pick up Uzumaki for $14.99, which is cheaper than the results from DVD Price Search.

Aside from the Takashi Miike films, Uzumaki & Ebola Syndrome, any recommendations?


Zero Woman Red Handcuffs
Jail House 41
Blind Womans Curse

If I had to narrow it down to just one it would either be Zero Woman
or Jail House 41. Can't go wrong with either. Most collectors would
probaly suggest Jail House 41 as the one to get.

I take back this notice. I just tried emailing them about my order & it bounced back saying:

Okay, fortunately, they just emailed be back & confirmed the DVD was mailed out.

*Phew* I was really starting to get anxious!

I just stuck with Uzumaki. I'm very curious to hear the director commentary on this edition.

Thank you for your suggestions, I did look them up. But right now, in addition to having a ridiculous amount of unwatched DVDs, I'm more interested in Lovecraftian supernatural horror than the more camp/exploitation pictures that Discotek seems to distribute. Though Sayonara Jupiter looks interesting.

I am curious about Discotek's upcoming reissue of Dead or Alive. I hope they upgraded the transfer from the Kino edition.

I actually started a thread about this reissue + Discotek's upgrades in general, if you feel like contributing: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/58...upgrading.html

They also released "Sayonara Jupiter", which I think is the absolute worst movie ever made. Highly recommended DVD.

Like, Mystery Science Theater 3000-level bad?

Well, screw that, a lot of titles are cheaper in their Ebay store.
