Off hand I can't think of anything. But in the event that something does, the MYA dvd isn't bad at all other than being a bit pricey.

Oh, it is - a primo slice of nihilistic, grindhouse cinema, shot on the mean streets of pre-gentrified NYC.

Re: Blue Underground and Synapse Films to release on Blu-ray

I'm wondering why The 10th Victim hasn't dropped down to $15.99 like most (all?) of the other recent BU pre-orders. Other than a brief period when it was $20.99, it's been stuck at $26.99 forever, with release barely over a month from now.

Re: Blue Underground and Synapse Films to release on Blu-ray

More good news!

While attending the Fantasia festival in Montreal, Fango sat down with Don May Jr. of Synapse Films, who informed us of a few new horrific acquisitions for forthcoming Blu-ray/DVD release—including an addition to the company’s Hammer line.

May confirmed that Synapse has picked up COUNTESS DRACULA (pictured), the 1971 erotic vampire opus directed by Peter Sasdy and starring the late Ingrid Pitt. “We just got the HD master from MGM,” May tells Fango, adding that the COUNTESS release will follow TWINS OF EVIL, coming this November or December, and HANDS OF THE RIPPER, out mid-next year.

In addition, May reveals to us that Synapse has acquired AT MIDNIGHT I’LL TAKE YOUR SOUL and THIS NIGHT I’LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE, the first two films by José Mojica Marins featuring his Zé do Caixao/Coffin Joe character. Having previously issued the Coffin Joe revival movie EMBODIMENT OF EVIL, the company will bring us new releases of those earlier features with extras ported over from the previous Portuguese DVD boxed set

Glad to hear some news about Twins of Evil, I've been waiting forever for this, it seems. Countess Dracula will be cool too, whenever they get around to releasing it. Probably be a long while now.

Yeah I've had that in my cart for a while, waiting for it to get under $20, I'd love to lock in an order for $15.99.

$5? Just throw it on the goddamn BD. I can't imagine omitting something that major would slip past Don.

Deep discount has it for $16.32, a far more reasonable price.

I sent amazon the link, maybe they will match it.

Hopefully that drops to under $20 by release, I'll pre-order and see what happens.

I doubt that was a choice Don made, maybe Bill said not to, from the way it sounds.
