Just bought this on Amazon.de. Should hopefully be able to share my thoughts on PQ within the next month. Havent seen this in a good 10 years.

Screenshots:





Audio quality is solid and everything is clearly understandable (I'm no expert though).
Acoustic noise is present but not distracting/annoying (at least not for me ).

Just got mine in the mail today. Havent popped it in yet, but looking at those screenshots you posted it is FAR better quality than the last time I saw it. Looking forward to watching.

Bumping the thread because Dr. Svet has posted a review: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Der-A...217870/#Review

Had never even heard of it, but the premise and review have piqued my interest. Having already seen the British film I Bought A Vampire Motorcycle (which I found to be underwhelming), it seems as though this earlier Ferat Vampire was an obvious inspiration to the later motorcycle film. Looking forward to checking this out as it seems to be the superior movie experience.

I have this set which contain the exactly same release. Interesting take on the subject of corporate conspiracies, getting unintentially spiced even more considering the situation of world today and how we endlessly search for alternate energy sources. This ain't Christine in any way but rather like Cronenberg's take on the same theme minus the splatter factor, leaning way more on atmosphere of pressuring paranoia than horror. Recommended.

I bought the same (rather expensive) set, as the single release of Ferat Vampire seems to be unavailable right now - possibly sold out.

Two remarks about this set ; 1. it's supposed to be a limited edition of 399 copies only, so if this is true, availability may not last very much longer, and 2. one of the films (Panna a netvor / Beauty and the Beast) has NO English subtitles.

I was wondering about that one. A shame to find out it still doesn't have subtitles for Beauty and the Beast.

According to the original Beauty and the Beast thread, the label had claimed that the licenser withdrew permission to add English subtitles on that release in the last minute, and therefore they couldn't change the already printed covers. This set was released a year later, and it also advertises English subtitles for each film. That's just disingenuous.
