And they may even be from a DVD (I think that like Quatermass and the Pit the Optimum releases are combos)

Feb 20 12 6:07 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Just discovered its possible to get a region-free blu-ray release of The Vampire Lovers; an Australian disc apparently: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vampire-Lovers-Amantes-Vampiro-Blu-Ray/dp/B006NT8A9A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329778867&sr=8-1 Australia released, Blu-Ray/Region A/B/C DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital Stereo ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Commentary, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s) According to one customer reviewer (reviewing an old VHS release), the film was a huge success in Australia, playing at different venues for almost five years prior to its television sale. Saw a copy for sale on Ebay but the asking price was £25 plus. Anyone else got any info about this disc?

Feb 21 12 6:49 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	A favourable (but conditional) review of the Dracula: Prince of Darkness Blu-ray over at AV Forum: http://www.avforums.com/movies/Dracula-Prince-of-Darkness-review_10865/blu-ray.html I have to say that when it comes to 'noise-reduction' and 'grain' I'm a novice but it all sounds a bit techno-film-purist to my ears. I appreciate that some people have a problem with this filtering issue but, personally, I know what I like. If this disc offers a vibrant Hammer palette in saturated Technicolour as described ('opulently bright and garish' no less) and the image is appreciably sharper than my current disc then I'll be a very happy customer.

Feb 21 12 9:17 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've seen several cases of split screen 'before and after' restoration comparisons. They never convince me. How do you know that they doctored the 'before' image to make it look worse? I'm not saying that is the case here but I can't resist suspecting it every time I see it.

Feb 23 12 7:57 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	UURRRGG! I was just proof reading a long and thought out post and it somehow dissapeared! Hate that! Anyway the long and short of it was that if they continue to use this DNR stuff to get rid of grain I'll just buy it and sell the Blu copy as I would need to buy a region free Blu-ray player just to view it (/them) anyway, and thats more than my budget allows right now. I already have a region free DVD player and the restoration is much better than my window-boxed AB release so I'll keep the DVD and be happy enough. I would however, like to see nice un-DNR'd copies in the future- then I'll get that Darned region free blu player. ;>) Jim Jim and Judy's Horror Models WWW.jimandjudyshorrormodels.com The Music WWW.earthmanout.com
