I own the old Shameless DVD so I will be happy to upgrade it to BLU. This is another batshlt crazy giallo. a must own.

Great news. Shameless gets the short end of the stick sometimes - well deserved in cases like 4 Flies on Grey Velvet - but I like the fact that they release titles within a month (give or take a few days) of announcing them. It's good for impatient folks like me. Hoping this is a new transfer and looks gorgeous.

One of my favorite giallo films! Edwige in HD is always a must

Weird. Strange. Such a high profile absent on blu ray giallo goes to Shameless???

Hopefully this means that another studio can piggyback off of this and do a better job than Shameless is capable of.

They already had DVD rights so presumably just also upgraded to have blu rights.

Has anyone else had an email from Amazon saying the release date is now 31st July?

Yes, but Shameless store still says 10th, so maybe a period of exclusivity there?

Has anyone received their copy from Shameless?

I have my fingers crossed for receiving it today, I guess no update from Shameless means it wasn't delayed again.

Spiderwalk · 07-19-2017, 12:31 PM

I've just received my copy, and I have to say it looks very nice indeed! I would guess that it's probably from a recent restoration. The blacks are inky, and the colours are really vibrant. Flicking through the disc there wasn't any appreciable print damage, and the image looked really stable. I won't know if the whole film is okay until I watch it later on, but first impressions are really good.

It's definitely a lot better than All the Colours of the Dark.

robertzombie · 07-19-2017, 01:55 PM

HMV site says 31 July for release?

*But I'm glad first impressions are good! This is my favourite gialli and after the poor reports of Shameless' All The Colours of the Dark I was beginning to get worried.

Aha! Looking forward to reading more details

Got mine in the post today. I got number 71.

indravayu · 07-19-2017, 06:06 PM

Should be getting mine soon. It takes a while for UK discs to get to Los Angeles, but I got All the Colors of the Dark way earlier than most folks.

Spiderwalk · 07-19-2017, 11:16 PM

I watched my copy this evening, and I really enjoyed the presentation of the film.

I chose the English audio track which was nice and clear with only a slight echo during the party scene. The title card with the Freud quote was obviously added separately, it was a little bit too pristine and modern looking (minor gripe).

The only other thing that I could say was troublesome, was that a few shots had a kind of ghosting effect, it was particularly noticeable on street signs, but it only occurred in maybe three or four scenes. The transfer is virtually immaculate with hardly any speckles, and I didn't notice any compression artifacts at all.

This is a very nice release overall, much better than I was anticipating.
