Zombie: Got it. Watched it. Loved it.
Looked great to me, but when I put it on pause, I could see all the "noise" or whatever. Still picture looked very bad. But while playing, it looked great (to my eyes).

I'll buy it, but is BU merely going to re-release all of their older stuff, and never give us anything new?

The Nesting was new, but I think generally, yeah, it'll be mostly re-releases from here on out. Not too long before BU issued their first Blu-ray disc, I think they said something to that effect.

Meh. I'm almost positive I've got the DVD, and I still haven't watched it. I'm in agreement that I'd like to see them putting out new acquisitions rather than old titles few (?) feel like upgrading.

Re: Blue Underground and Synapse Films to release on Blu-ray
Particularly when the one new title they release in an entire year is the utterly forgettable The Nesting, which was both bloodless and inept, thus making it a particularly perplexing choice. It's one thing if you want to put out technically terrible but gore-filled Fulci films, but what appeal would The Nesting possibly have? The only explanation I can think of is that, for whatever reason, someone at BU has a soft spot for it.

Man, you guys sure are harsh on The Nesting. Yea, it's not a phenomenal movie, but for what it's is, I enjoyed it well enough.
I do agree that it's a bit odd that it was thier ONLY new release. but hey, I'm perfectly fine with getting rereleases on blu since I don't own many of their flicks in the first place.

So, guess what I was shocked to find at my door step today?
Intruder!!
Preordered a few weeks off Synapse website to get the workprint version on dvd-r, and it arrived today in a bubbler mailer. Very suprised since it's still on preorder at the website and listed as a release date of Dec 13th.
The dvd-r of the workprint version is hand numbered on the disc, mine is #12/500
If anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer as many as possible. I'll take pics later tonight.

Did anyone else notice this post from yesterday on the Synapse website?
I guess it took a little while for word to trickle down about this offer considering it was first announced Oct. 26. Anyway, I was a little surprised to see that, but I'm happy it has been a success for them.

Thank you for the (rather unexpected) response to this promotion, and we apologize for this temporary setback with our ordering.

No tracking or shipping notice email either, thus my suprise at recieving it so early.

I placed my order on the 26th too, so it should be on its way here as well. That's cool that they're sending them out so early.

Hopefully I get mine soon. Intruder is not good...it is amazing! Also who cares if BU does all their old releases. After that they will start releasing new stuff.

No surprise that my copy of Intruder hadn't arrived. It usually takes a day or two longer to reach me with these things. Of course, now I will be thinking about the possibility of it arriving up until the moment I get home from work tomorrow.
