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

I've wanted to see Curse of the Blue Lights since I was a kid.

Is Code Red on top of things now? I seem to recall them having extreme issues with pressing copies and keeping release dates.

Thanks for the heads up! For anyone curious:

Twins of Evil ($10.68)
http://www.deepdiscount.com/bluray/C...-TWINS-OF-EVIL

Red Scorpion ($10.85)
http://www.deepdiscount.com/bluray/L...-SCORPION-1989

Vampire Circus ($10.50)
http://www.deepdiscount.com/bluray/V...S-654930312292

These are just a couple, but as NoirFan mentioned, all are around the $10 mark!

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

Intruder - $10.69
Dorm that Dripped Blood - $10.49
Frankenhooker - 8.75
Maniac Cop - $8.76

And the best deal: 42nd. St Forever for $8.89!

I paid basically double for all of those.

Me neither! Thinking about getting a couple of the titles I'm missing.

This week is getting expensive and it's not even Black Friday yet.

It's obvious many retailers are shifting their Black Friday items to earlier in the week, hoping to capture consumers' dollars before they are tapped out.

Oh, definitely! In the example of Best Buy, they haven't had that many (good) deals in a really long time.

I'm going to try and figure out what I'm buying with my friends when we go out for Black Friday and hopefully be able to sneak in some Synapse titles I want.

Trying to not go more nuts than I already have this week, so I just grabbed Twins of Evil.

Use the code FB5 for an additional $5 off of $25 - with that discount added, they're almost giving the Synapse titles away.

Exact technical specs and supplemental features to be included with this upcoming release are yet to be revealed. The release is expected to be available on the market later this year.


No word on Demons 2 yet, but I wonder if Anchor Bay is now just letting their rights lapse on the remainder of the Argento library.

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

I sure hope so.

I don't know if Synapse is doing their own transfer for Demons or using the same master as the Arrow BD, but either way, it oughtta be gorgeous. I love the UK disc, but Arrow is pretty lousy at authoring, and I'm sure the Synapse disc will be so much better encoded that it'll be worth the international double dip. The new extras won't hurt either.

Multiple fingers crossed for a Synapse release of those Argentos, especially if Don had full control over the transfers.

Nice! I was going to get Arrow's Demons BD, but I'll gladly continue waiting for Synapse's.

I'll believe it when I see them in stores. Independent distributors tend to promise a lot and deliver little, particularly for Blu-ray releases.

FWIW, I'd say Synapse is unassailable. They're not Media Blasters.

Yup. Synapse pretty much delivers with whatever the say they're doing.

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

Synapse does a great job with their titles. I'm now a little happy that I never ended up purchasing the Arrow release of Demons. Depending on the transfer, I can see myself buying the Synapse release of Phenomena even though I own the Arrow version.

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

Well in terms of Argento on Blu-ray in North America:

Blue Underground
  • The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
  • The Cat o' Nine Tails
  • Deep Red
  • Inferno
  • Two Evil Eyes
  • The Stendhal Syndrome
Synapse
  • Tenebre
  • Phenomena
  • Demons (writer and producer-only)
  • Demons 2 (writer and producer-only)
Unaccounted
  • Four Flies on Grey Velvet (available region free in the UK)
  • Suspiria
  • Opera
  • Trauma
  • The Phantom of the Opera
  • Sleepless
  • The Card Player
  • Do You Like Hitchcock?
  • The Mother of Tears
  • Giallo

Blue Underground, last I checked, still has the rights to Opera. The Weinsteins need to give us an HD release of Suspiria and The Mother of Tears. I could assume the remaining Anchor Bay titles (Trauma, The Card Player, and Do You Like Hitchcock?) would also be in the hands of Synapse based upon today's news. Who only knows if Lionsgate still controls the rights to Sleepless. I could give a flying fuck if Phantom and Giallo ever see a Blu-ray release.

Well I guess we can all be happy to that Synapse is doing Tenebre, after seeing Arrow's transfer...
