Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
Holy shit, they're doing Caltiki, the Immortal Monster? I can finally end my futile search for the NoShame release? Now if only they'd find a way to license Tim Lucas' impossible-to-find Kill Baby Kill Dark Skies Commentary. I asked someone who knows about such things recently and was told that it's not even in the dark corners of torrentland.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
Arrow posted on Facebook this morning that the House I-IV box set that comes out next month is already sold out in pre-orders on the Arrow UK site. It's a Region B UK Exclusive.
They said you can still pre-order it from Amazon UK, but stock is running out. As previously posted, if you're not region free, the U.S. is only getting a I-II box set. |
Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
I didn't realize it was limited, just ordered it from Amazon UK, £32.24 shipped which should be about $40 so $10 a film isn't too bad, especially considering the House Two Stories set on Amazon is currently $42.99.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
Has it been confirmed yet if parts 1 and 2 from the UK set will be region free or locked?

Some people were talking about it on the Arrow Facebook page. |
Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on the House set.
Came out to roughly $35 and change before shipping. I also got the new Fright Night BD that has the new 2 hour documentary. Both are being released March 27th from Amazon UK. I ended up spending like $56 and change after shipping for both. |

I like the cover art for Bird, but I got off my Argento kick fifteen years ago.

All over Bird.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
Arrow's new CRYSTAL PLUMAGE disc appears to correct Vittorio Storaro's bizarre aspect ratio business on their earlier release, and several of the supplements are new:

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
Well, I was quite surprised and disappointed to have my 1st defective Arrow Blu-Ray recently. The title in question was "Cemetery Without Crosses", and it was totally defective for the last 20 or so minutes of the film, kept freezing and skipping every few seconds. Luckily I was able to finish the film by putting in the DVD copy, and this might also be the 1st time I actually used the DVD copy of an Arrow BD. I returned it to Amazon for a refund and decided not to reorder another copy since the film was not really my cup of tea anyway.
This is the 1st I've ever heard or seen of a defective Arrow BD. Are they more common than I think? |
Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
Not the the greatest of scores, but sounds pretty good to me...

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
I got my UK House Collection yesterday and even though 3 and 4 are marked as Region B, I was able to play both in my PS3. I didn't even realize there was gonna be a book with it, it's really nice. On a side note, I am happy to call this my 1000th Blu-ray! Glad the milestone got to be on a release I was really looking forward to.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
That's disappointing to hear. It wasn't much of an issue for me with Hellraiser III, but something is going on with Arrow's quality control since this is the 3rd example of this happening in a short time (Creepshow 2 being the 2nd incident).

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
Even with the framing issues, I caved in this past Sunday and picked up the House set :(

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
My House UK set just arrived from Amazon UK a few days ago.
Great looking set and it has an amazing amount of content. I guess licensing issues were the reason why III and IV weren't included in the U.S. release. Those 2 also have a vast amount of content. |
Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
Just received my copy of the "Donnie Darko" Limited Edition...I can't wait till this evening. I'm all in for "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage." Sold my Blue Underground edition years ago when I liquidated my original collection. I once again own pretty much everything I foolishly sold off. These limited editions are being beautifully executed by the folks at Arrow. I wish Warner Bros. would produce a few more of these for a select number of titles. They previously did a handful of these shelf-friendly box sets that I cherish as well--far better than those over-blown sets with worthless ephemera. I'm not so upset that some studios have moved to licensing. These boutique distributors value these films far more than the studios that own them.

Re: The Official Arrow Blu-ray Thread
So I got a chance to go through a little of the House UK set.
Parts 1 and 2 are region free. The packaging indicates that on the inside. However, it also looks like 3 and 4 are region free, despite the packaging saying otherwise. I played part 3 last night on my region free BD player without having to press the Region B playback button on my remote, which I would have to do normally. Haven't checked 4 yet, but I'm guessing it's the same thing. There is a really cool book in the packaging with lots of great notes about each movie. Sean Cunningham said in the House 3 section that he pre-sold it internationally as "House 3" and it was branded internationally as such even though it was released as "The Horror Show" in the U.S. United Artists thought for marketing purposes it would play better with a different name as opposed to keeping it branded as the 3rd House movie. |
