Re: Blue Underground and Synapse Films to release on Blu-ray
I wonder what the odds are of seeing Exterminator 2 and Maniac Cop 2. Neither ever got proper DVD release in the US. I had to import the first Exterminator, as well as Maniac Cop 2. At least I can upgrade one of those to BD sometime. They should've just done double features.

Yea... don't see it staying that price. I'm in no hurry to jump on that title until it hits the typical BU $15-16

Unrated. Sorry, I use an Amazon import script to prefill a lot of those fields, and they incorrectly listed it as R. It's unrated.

From Blu-ray.com--
Cover art (may be NSFW):
Synapse Films will release Intruder on Blu-ray this December. Director Scott Spiegel's 1989 horror-thriller centers on a homicidal maniac hunting the overnight staff at a supermarket.
Spiegel (From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money), who famously introduced Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) to his future producing partner Lawrence Bender (Inglourious Basterds), stocks his film with a cast of cult favorites like Bruce Campbell (Army of Darkness), Renée Estevez (Heathers), Burr Steers (writer/director of Igby Goes Down), Ted Raimi (Drag Me to Hell), and Spider-Man director Sam Raimi.
Synapse's Blu-ray presents the eighty-eight-minute Director's Cut of Intruder - recently given a 2K digital restoration - in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio with a 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio sound track. The Blu-ray/DVD combo pack also contains a number of bonus supplements, including:
Commentary with writer/director Scott Spiegel and producer Lawrence Bender
Slashed Prices: The Making of Intruder featurette
Extended murder sequences from the original workprint
Outtakes from Spiegel's lost short film, Night Crew
Cast audition footage
Stills gallery
Theatrical trailer
Intruder is expected to street on December 13th.

Wow - seriously impressive.
On a related side note, it annoys the FUCK out of me that when DVDBeaver does comparisons, they always list the aspect ratio for the DVDs, but they just put "1080p" where it should be listed for Blu-rays.

House by the Cemetery is now $14.99. Not one I'm personally interested in, but that bodes well for Night Train Murders. I hope BU releases more than just upgrades on Blu-ray next year.

Well, my Maniac Cop BD arrived. Both the DVD and BD I have were released by Synapse, but it says 85 minutes on the BD and 87 on the DVD. What's up with that?

Appropriately enough, Amazon recommended the Tom Hanks film Nothing in Common because I purchased Night Train Murders.
