6-7-02---- Viz To No Longer Publish Koji Suzuki's Ring Thanks to Daniel for this news from Viz: Due to the need to submit upcoming titles to comics and publishing industry sources several months in advance, Viz publicized its plans to publish Ring based on verbal agreements in order to meet solicita...

Updates: Universal Europe recently released both "THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS" and "THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW" on DVD (PAL/R2+4). They are widely available, and pretty cheap. I recommend http://www.blackstar.co.uk Image Entertainment apparently at one point released "Serpe...

some DVDs I fucking want right now!!

THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS
THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW
THE HILLS HAVE EYES
LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT

any news on any of them?!

I went to go buy the import, and then saw that the domestic disc is due out 6/25/2002.
Columbia Tri-Star is including commentaries, and a Making-of featurette. Cross your fingers!!

oh yeah, and my shit is done:

Did anyone else know about this CD, which has a song called "Fulci On The Rocks"?!

I have acquired a VHS copy of "Carnal Noise," an entry into The Eternal Darkness Films Competition by semi-finalist Francisco Aliwalas - who just happens to be my co-worker's brother. I'll be sure to post my thoughts after viewing it. We could be looking at big things from this guy in just...

I'm trashed off my ass right now but I can say with absolute certainty that my Universe Laser & Video HK DVD of this movie is ALL REGION AND NTSC. It even plays on my historically anal retentive panasonic.

precisely why I wouldn't hold out for a decent R1 DVD release of Versus... anything Miramax touches turns to shit.

I'm wondering if Showtime's post-apocalyptic offering is worth checking out. While the choice of actors frightens me (especially after seeing Luke Perry in that Bermuda Triangle TV movie last year), the recent dearth of "after the bomb" fare (good or bad) has me interested. At worst, I thi...

I just found this gem of an article on the fat bastard's site. So glad I just nabbed the Universe DVD off ebay.

From variety.com Miramax Films has signed Japanese horror director Ryuhei Kitamura to a first-look deal. Kitamura fright pics like "Versus" and "Heat After Dark" have drawn keen interest on the festival circuit. Under the deal, which partners Kitamura with Miramax and its genre l...

Dylan - Eriko Hatsune IS quite the hotty. She's even got her own webring:

When I bring up this subject, it goes over like a tumbleweed in a ghost town. Someone else mentions it, and it sparks a big thread. Go figure!

Anyhow, vol.1 of the translated manga is out, courtesy of Viz. A must for fans of the film.

Their requirements are a bit stiff, though. You must own a DVD-ROM drive and a scanner... that knocks me out of the running!

I'm a bit more partial to the Agents of Oblivion CD, but Deadboy is great stuff too.

Rich - Acid Bath rules!!! Although I'm more partial to Agents of Oblivion and Deadboy, anything involving Dax Riggs kicks ass!!!

FYI - Jason X premiers in theaters on April 26th.

It looks like Mariano Baino's "Dark Waters" has been released on US DVD by York Home Video under the title "Dead Waters." I believe Mortado made me a VHS copy of this film ages ago... I barely remember it! Has anyone seen the DVD yet? Also, Image has inexplicably released Fulci's...

Amid rampant SpongeBob episode hoarding, I managed to grab Shaolin Soccer - what appears to be a rip of the Universe VCD (I'm guessing based on the simultaneous English and Chinese subtitles). Pretty cool stuff. Trying to grab Yamakasi next...

The film won't be officially released until April 26th, but if you are curious (and patient) enough, you can download it now off of Morpheus. I don't know about you, but I'd rather spend the $8.25 on booze instead of a ticket to a questionable-at-best movie.

Wow... you're lucky to have found them so early. I didn't even know Cannibal Apocalypse was coming to US DVD! That's great news. Do all Best Buy stores have the same DVD selection, I wonder?

If you ask me, Anchor Bay will have a tough time topping the best DVD release of the film thus far, by Dutch Filmworks. The only thing it's really missing is the audio commentary track with Tom Savini and Chris Stavrakis which can be found on the UK (BMG) DVD release. You could also argue in favor o...

I just tested four different Universe DVD's on my unmodified Panasonic RV20. All regional labeling was totally accurate.

The results are as follows:

UZUMAKI - R3 (NO PLAY)

ANOTHER HEAVEN - R3 (NO PLAY)

VIOLENT COP (the Anthony Wong film) - R0 (PLAYED FINE)

AUDITION - R3 (NO PLAY)

Simon Scuddamore, who played Marty Rantzen in Slaughter High, commited suicide shortly after the film was released. With the knowledge of this, watching the opening when his character is viciously tormented can't help but make you wonder if acting out this torment somehow contributed to Scuddamore's...
