C'mon, Lustig, get with the good shit already. I want Maniac, damnit!

yeah :mad: step up the pace!

I'd prefer Cat O' Nine Tails and Deep Red to get the release over Maniac first; but would I purchase all of them? Yes.

Anchor Bay owns the rights to Phenomena and nobody knows who owns the rights to A Better Tomorrow I & II after the Anchor Bay releases have gone OOP.

Didn't the Fortune Star releases come out after the AB ones? (Regarding A Better Tomorrow I and II)

Also thanks for the review Adam. I was thinking about upgrading my AB disc, but I think I'll hold off until I can find the disc cheap.

Straight from Don.

Embodiment of Evil is the one he posted the art for. Dunno if it covers anything else or not.

I hope it's for the whole trilogy.

Embodiment Of Evil has been released in the UK on Blu-Ray already, so I hope it's not just that.

We also have at least two more 42ND STREETs coming (in the planning stages), including one on Blu-ray... and BASKET CASE 3, THOU SHALL NOT KILL EXCEPT, and a bunch more I can't seem to remember at the moment.

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

I don't get why companies like BU and Synapse refuse to make their flagship titles the first released. They both have numerous films that should be making their hi-def debut long before titles like Bad Boy Bubby, the 42nd St. series and Basket Case 3. Don said years ago that Lemora would be their first Blu because they had done a magnificent restoration in 1080p that looked flawless. Where's that at? And Street Trash should have been one of the first out of the gate.

Street Trash was supposed to be one of their first releases.

Don made it sound like Lemora will never happen because of the pretty much catastrophically low sales of the DVD.

I don't think it'd be hard to argue that the 42nd St. series is a flagship title for Synapse, though.

Still waiting for Zombi for BU...why that was not one of the first out of the gate is beyond me.

Flagship? Yes. Necessary to be a flagship Blu-ray? Dubious decision.

Woo! I have the DVD but will probably upgrade if the price is right.

2010 will continue to be an expensive year for Horror/Exploitation fans.

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but does anyone have any interest in a future The Prowler BD release?

I have my review written, but since the release is still more than a month off, I didn't think BU would want it out there yet. I'll ask around and see if it's okay to trot out.

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

Looks great, nice set of extras:

Blue Underground has announced DVD ($19.95) and Blu-ray ($34.95) releases of City of the Living Dead for the 25th May. The only extra material on the DVD will be a Making of City of the Living Dead featurette, the English trailer, the Italian trailer, radio spots, and a still gallery. The Blu-ray release will include all that, along with additional featurettes ("Acting Among the Living Dead – Interview with Star Catriona MacColl", "Entering the Gates of Hell – Interview with Star Giovanni Lombardo Radice", "Memories of the Maestro"), and a poster and still gallery.
