The Nameless- Los Sin Nombre DVD

Hey has anyone seen this DVD?? I know that it is available at DVDgo.com(trying to order from them from the USA is nearly impossible) but is there anywhere else that carries it??? What can anyone tell me about it. I saw some information about it on a horror site and it made me want to see it. I thought the premise about it was really cool. Anyone that can shed some light on it, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I have the DVD and it's an absolutely incredible movie! Tense and atmospheric in a way the X-Files wished it could be. I won't say anything because it could give away the story but it's a must-have film. It's a dark fantasy horror more in the psychological horror vein. Director Jaume Balaguero's first American film "Darkness" is due out soon and also looks incredible.

As for DVDGo, I've had no problem. I live in New Jersey and I received Faust and El Arte de Morir from them today via Airborne Express in 2 separate shipments. For your first order you need to fax them a copy of your credit card (front and back) and your driver's license but that's only for fraud prevention. I've placed a total of 5 orders from them so far with no problems.

I was afraid to give DVDgo my info so I ordered it through www.diabolikdvd.com. This site uses Paypal. I had the movie within 4 days. It was more expensive than DVDgo but at least I didn't have to give them my credit info.

It's an incredible DVD! It's anamorphic widescreen and uncut unlike the US R1 release which will be cut. It also has the Spanish trailer and TV spots, interviews (dubbed over in Spanish) and the English running commentary by Brian Yuzna. I just got a surround system so I'm pretty blown away by the 5.1.

If you want the film uncut then this is the version to get.

I've ordered from him before and it's definitely great service. I use DVDGo for Spanish DVDs but Diabolik for about anything else.

Do you know how this compares to the Brazillian version that is being sold on ebay?

Not completely. but from looking at the auctions I can tell you that "uncut" Brazilian version is definitely cut. Here are the differences that I can see:

LENGTH
Spanish DVD: 101 min.
Brazilian DVD: 97 min.

AUDIO
Spanish DVD: DTS: Spanish . Dolby Digital 5.1: English, Spanish, Catalan
Brazilian DVD: English and Portuguese - Dolby Digital 5.1 & 2.0

VIDEO
Spansih DVD: PAL Anamorphic Widescreen
Brazilian DVD: NTSC and probably fullscreen since no auction lists the aspect ratio

EXTRAS
Spanish DVD: Interactive Menus, Scene Access, Filmographies, Film Credits, Director Commentary, Story Boards, TV Sports, Trailer, Video-clips, Interviews, Making Of
Brazilian DVD: Interactive Menus, Scene Access, Filmographies, Film Credits, Trailer, Making Of

Looks to me like a clear winner for the Spanish DVD. I watched part of it last night and it looks and sounds great. The only drawback is, being a Spanish DVD, the interviews are dubbed over in Spanish but I'd recommend this version.

Woooo, mega-bump!

Was there ever an NTSC version of this released on DVD other than the edited Brazilian disc?

There is an NTSC Hong Kong version that I picked up through dddhouse. Pretty decent quality at a cheap price.. Says region 3, but may be all-region. Lists 100 min.

It certainly is! I've only watched a VHS copy, so I've been on the lookout recently for a non-PAL DVD version. Off to dddhouse...
