I went the skull route as well. The absurdity of the whole enterprise did amuse me at points, and I was never irritated while watching it, just groaning inwardly and shifting a bit in my seat. I wish there had been more of Sam Raimi, as he was genuinely hilarious, whereas the "actor" playing the lead seemed like someone from community theater. With a group it could be loads of fun though, and the transfer is another major winner from Synapse.

Has anyone else who ordered from Amazon received multiple damaged copies? Or is my luck just that bad? Both of the discs were scratched in my first copy (yes, even the blu-ray) and both discs were also scratched when I got my replacement. The discs weren't loose so I'm assuming it's a manufacturing problem. I should be receiving a THIRD copy today. I hope it's okay.

Ah, ok. Glad it's not just me then. The past few Synapse titles I've received have gotten the Frankenstein treatment.

For some reason, BU are reissuing Maniac and Zombie as one-disc releases on 9/25. Aren't we due for a July announcement about now?

Re: Blue Underground and Synapse Films to release on Blu-ray
was maniac a 2disc before?
EDIT: I panicked and ordered the two disc blu from amazon in case its going OOP. There were only 12 left in stock and I had $15 in gift certificates, so I couldn't help but pull the trigger.

Yup, looks like the delays were worth it - I would have liked a commentary, but a full-length doc with the likes of Dante and Lucas should be terrific fun. Now, if they'd get cracking on the other Hammer titles...

I'm always wary of any Italian transfer, DNR-wise, but it looks like this one is fine in that department.

What's up with BU? Lately they seem to be entirely focused on churning out redundant DVD 3-packs and re-releasing stripped-down Blu-rays, with nothing HD on the immediate horizon.
