Goke Bodysnatcher from Hell??
 

Just noticed that Goke Bodysnatcher from Hell, a Japanese horror film that's one of my all-time personal guilty pleasures, is slated for release in England.
Anyone have any more information on this release or on the company that's putting it out?

From what I can tell it is being released by Arts Magic/ Eastern Cult Cinema. I have a few of there releases (Rasen and Uzumaki). Good releases, not amazing though. Should be a decent release.

They will be using one of these covers:

They had people vote on which was the best it seems.

...and... according to this site the movie will have no subtitles...?... (Note: the "Certification 12" does not bode well, i.e. the film is likely to have been cut...)

. . . :o . . .

I would find it very odd for them to put no english subtitles on a japanese language film being released in the UK. I am sure it is a misprint.

Yes, I'm sure the "no subs" information is incorrect. However, that's not particularly good news about Arts Magic being the company releasing the DVD. I have several titles by them and have found the quality of all of them passable at best. Their DVD of the classic yakuza film The Wolves looked absolutely miserable compared to my old laser disc of the film. I wound up selling the DVD and keeping the LD.

Arts Magic's dvds are usually pretty poor, non-anamorphic, imbedded subs, etc. But their recently releases have all been pretty good. Anamorphic and removeable subs.
