Näyttäisi siltä, että Arrow on suunnittelemassa joulukuussa julkaistavaksi mojovaa Ju-On boksia: The Curse / The Curse 2 / The Grudge* / The Grudge 2 / White Ghost / Black Ghost / Limited Edition / Blu-ray + 4K Ultra HD* Sitä onkin arvuutellut, milloin Arrow jatkaa vuosituhannen vaihteen J-horror-leffojen julkaisemista. Mielipuolisen suolainen hintahan tälle lätkäistään, mutta ei voi mitään... ..toivotaan, että Liz Truss on tehnyt politiikallaan punnasta puoliarvottoman valuutan tuossa vaiheessa... OHO, Burkitsville oli jo ehtinyt ennen minua!
Gillo Pontecorvon Burn! aka. Queimada löytyy Saksasta edullisesti ja hyvällä kuvalla. Enkkusubit löytyvät, vaikka Amazonin sivuilla ei ole siitä tietoa. Voihan Imprintin julkaisu olla jopa parempi, mutta tilaaminen saattaa olla hankalaa. Niin ja leffa on pirun hyvä. Ja edit: Brando itse piti Queimadaa parhaimpana työnään näyttelijänä.
Olisi pitänyt tarkentaa, että itseasiassa vain Ju-On: The Grudge myös 4K lättynä (ja leffa skannattu 4K resolla eli kuvanlaatu varmaakin älyttömän hyvä). Muuten kyseessä on Blu-ray-boksi.
Ok, mutta meikäläinen on hulluna J-horroriin, joten siinä mielessä oli nöyryyttävä fiilis huomata jääneensä tämän kanssa kakkoseksi.
Tetsuosta Gozuun on katsottu ja nuorena hyväksi havaittu. Mutta ihminen kasvaa ja nykyisin on liian hapokasta.
Kino Lorber are preparing a Blu-ray release of Jack Cardiff 's Girl on a Motorcycle (1968), starring Marianne Faithfull, Alain Delon, Roger Mutton, and Catherine Jourdan. The release is expected to arrive on the market early next year. "A wildly sexy time capsule from the swinging sixties, The Girl on a Motorcycle stars Alain Delon (The Sicilian Clan) and Marianne Faithfull (Intimacy)—two actors at the height of their impressive cool—as lovers with a taste for the open road. Faithfull stars as Rebecca, a bored housewife who bolts from her home in the French countryside to visit her lover, Daniel (Delon), in Germany. Wearing nothing but a form-fitting black leather suit (the film was re-released in the U.S. as Naked Under Leather), the lusty Rebecca races across the country, and in flashback remembers the start of their affair. She recalls the initial, furtive glances in her father's bookstore, her elaborate sexual fantasies and their long-awaited consummation. Most important of all is the motorcycle itself, a gift from Daniel that seems to give her more pleasure than any man could deliver." "Helmed by legendary cinematographer and top-notch director Jack Cardiff (Dark of the Sun) in pulsating psychedelic hues, The Girl on a Motorcycle has emerged from obscurity to become more than a cult favorite; it is a touchstone film of 1960s Euro youth culture."

Vinegar Syndrome ...TCM2:sta myyty jo 4000 kpl 12h sisällä! Tätä menoa jää moni taas nuolemaan näppejään.
Vinegar Syndrome From arthouse to Canuxploitation, Canadian International Pictures (CIP) is devoted to resurrecting vital, distinctive, and overlooked triumphs of Canadian cinema. This label is focused on the country’s original cinematic boom years – spanning the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s – occasionally venturing past that period (and the country’s borders) to highlight the films of Canada’s most inspired actors and filmmakers. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing CIP's brand new line of home video releases! "A return to the most dangerous house in the world." "After purchasing a property in Amityville, New York, Debbie (stage veteran Dawna Wightman) and her husband (Hangfire’s David Stein) invite three of their closest friends to help renovate. Immediately uneasy in her new surroundings, Debbie begins experiencing shockingly vivid nightmares. Vague unease turns to outright terror when the home’s inhabitants discover its brutal past, and a mysterious visitor turns up dead. As the line between nightmare and reality disappears, their focus shifts from renovation to escape, but it’s not clear who can be trusted – or who will make it out alive." One of the most overlooked entries in any major horror franchise, The Amityville Curse deviates from series formula, to surprising, amusing, and unsettling effect. Handsomely shot by Rodney Gibbons (My Bloody Valentine) and based on a novel by famed parapsychologist Hans Holzer – who also wrote the source material for Amityville II: The Possession – this inspired oddity is full of memorable horror flourishes and moments of jaw-dropping weirdness. With a lively ensemble that includes Kim Coates (Innocent Blood), Cassandra Gava (Conan the Barbarian), Helen Hughes (The Incubus), and Jan Rubes (Witness), The Amityville Curse is essential Canuxploitation viewing. directed by: Tom Berry starring: Dawna Wightman, Kim Coates, Cassandra Gava, Helen Hughes, Anthony Dean Rubes, Jan Rubes, David Stein 1990 / 91 min / 1.85:1 / English DTS-HD MA 2.0 Additional info: • Region A Blu-ray • Scanned in 2K from the original 35mm camera negative • Audio commentary featuring Paul Corupe of Canuxploitation.com and film historian Jason Pichonsky • Amityville Memories (2022, 16 min.) - An interview with director Tom Berry • Acting in Amityville (2022, 12 min.) - An interview with actress Dawna Wightman • Shooting Amityville (2022, 12 min.) - An interview with cinematographer Rodney Gibbons • Rodney Remembers (2022, 11 min.) - Gibbons reflects on his body of work • Booklet featuring a new Motion Picture Purgatory comic strip by Rick Trembles and an interview with ghost hunter/author Alexandra Holzer • Reversible cover artwork • English SDH subtitles This special limited edition embossed and spot gloss slipcover (designed by Gary Pullin) is limited to 2,000 units and is only available here at VinegarSyndrome.com!
