The AIP cut doesn't exist in HD, to my knowledge. The only criticism I've heard of the Australian disc has been technical in nature.

(1) The movie was never meant to be seen open matte. VAMPIRE LOVERS is not a 1.33:1 movie. (2) There is still plenty of nudity on display. No one should walk away feeling nudity-deprived.

Mar 22 12 2:02 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Oh my does PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES look good! Interesting news on Hammer's restoration blog. In addition to looking for missing bits, I'm think for FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL an inquiry with Japanese distributors might bring some answers, They're including the four reels of DRACULA that were recently discovered unrestored as an extra and a 2.55:1(!) reel of RASPUTIN for comparative purposes on that release. I'm not waiting for Warners to get around to releasing some bare bones disc whenever they feel like it. I'll just order these.

Apr 1 12 8:02 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm diggin on the grain I'm seeing in the grabs, thanks bgart! Looks superb and NOT overdone to wash out detail. I'll be getting them just for the DVD's as I cant play multiregion blu's yet! A nice step up from the so-so releases we've been dealing with.

Apr 1 12 2:05 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	It's nice for a change that we Brits are getting the releases first. For productions that are British' it always narked me, how releases were more available Stateside rather than here. However hope you' our American cousins' don't have too long to wait. keep the faith.

Apr 2 12 4:04 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Have adapted my dvd player to Region 1! :-D Still nice not to be lagging behind with these releases and served first, Though I sincerely hope my Stateside cousins aren't left waiting too long.

As a stateside cousin - I'm concerned these will get "the slow boat to China" treatment as far as REGION A releases. I hate to spend $250 on a multi-region when I'm interested in only a small handfull of titles..... "I saw what I saw when I saw it!"

Apr 2 12 1:29 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm very happy that I now have an all region blu-ray player - I can now watch on blu-ray - THE INNOCENTS, QUATERMASS AND THE PIT, DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS - and all the hammer films coming soon. also planning on getting THE SCARLET BLADE and the newly remastered THE DEVILS. I've collected quite a few region B standard dvds over the years - they look much better on the new blu-ray player.....

Just hold on in there' don't shell out for another player. Isn't it annoying when you have to do that. Wasn't gloating' just stating that it's nice to think we're not having to wait for a change. Only just got a Region 2 "Kiss of the Vampire" today. Still not as nicely presented as "Universal's" The Hammer Horror Series' release, Still awaiting other Region 2 releases of some of the titles within. I have read you won't have to wait too long. Hoping that's the case for you.
