FINALLY! This one seems to have taken way too long to get to blu - got to see this in Chicago at an old movie theater with a q and a afterwards with Stuart, one of my favorite movie-going experiences! Price is steep, but the extras are getting some love... can't wait!

I blind-bought this on DVD back in the day. Watched it once, thought it sucked, pretty much forgot about it. I'll give it another shot, though.

[heebiejeebie]

I'm preordering this as a blind buy. I'm pretty sure this is the only one of Gordon's Lovecraft films that I haven't seen.

[t_rav]

About time!!!

Definite pre-order!!

[1234567?]

Oh damn, nice, it's beautiful .

It's really great Dagon is being released but something tells me it's going to look bad like the majority of Vestron's output.

[P-Rock]

Let's hope it's not the censored version.

None of their releases look bad. All are clear upgrades over the DVD counterparts. They just don't look nearly as good as they could/should as evidenced by the releases of some films in other countries.

Hell yes!
