This was released in the U.K. last week and I just got my copy in the mail today. Watching it now and I'm thrilled with the PQ. I'd give it a 8.5/10. I'm sure this will get a U.S. release eventually, but I couldn't wait as it's one of my all-time favorite films.

Damn, only 8.5/10? Definite wait. Thanks for the heads up.

Well, some of the night time scenes such as in the children's dorm are a little dark and murky. But the rest is amazing. And 8.5 out of 10 is still a great PQ rating.

features?

Video prologue/commentary from Del Toro behind the scenes featurette/ storyboard to screen sequences/of ghost's and fauns: del toro's spanish civil war/special effects sequence breakdown/trailer

region free?

No, sorry. Should have mentioned that. I have an all regional player.

Can you please confirm if this is 1080i/50? I read somewhere that it wasnt 1080p.

It is 1080p. (Thread should be changed to RB, not R2)

Here's a review for the set of films:
Digital Fix
But sadly, the picture quality for Devil's Backbone is not so good, and there are subtitle typos....
