Suspiria (Dario Argento) [REGION B] - October 3, 2012

[lateralspin]

JB has shipped my online orders, so I will have to wait for mine in the mail.

Suspiria

[victortubeman]

Picked this up today(jb) audio has 5.1 and Dolby truehd and no subtitles listed on back.

Later I'll check audio on disc.

So Umbrellas Twitter reply to me was baloney lol. Not DTS-HD MA, but TrueHD.

[Bad Sandwich]

A heaping plate of internet cookies for whomever can first compare/contrast this with the existing BD offerings. We wait with bated breath.

It maybe marked incorrectly ?I'll play it later and double check.

[HotRats]

Very interested. If cash doesn't allow for a blind buy I'll hold off till whiggles gets his hands on one as he's bound to

I ordered from JB AUS, but it still says 'Pre Order' on the listing, even though its the release date today.

Working on a custom cover for this.

I believe it's included in the 2 for 30 sale already.

[LordCrumb]

Yeah mate, that's how I ordered it too (with Repo Man). Hopefully it wont take too long to Ship.. still 'In Progress' on my Order History.

If it contains TrueHD, I will place my bets now that it is a port of the Japanese BD transfer.

[Dubstar]

what's the region coding?

Is that a good thing or a bad thing Brett?

The Japanese BD is A, but the actual transfer would have to be ripped and reauthored with english menu options. So the region coding would not have any effect.

I place my hunch on it because, it can only be the UK transfer or the Japanese one as Umbrella has not got the resources to do a transfer themselves. And the Japanese BD features TrueHD. I would love to be wrong, but I doubt it.

Will be very interesting to hear about it.

Well the Japanese transfer can be seen here,

Whether its good or bad thats up to you. It looks to be an older transfer.
It app does not have the contrast boosting, but it does not have the same detail going by the screenshots. If you don't have the film on BD it will still do the job until a definitive release happens, without the blown out contrast.

[LordCrumb]

Hmm yeah it looks quite smooth.. also see it has 1080i on that page. While I am not totally against 1080i (Once Were Warriors looks great), I would prefer to see 1080p instead.

Might have to get the Uk version at some stage.

[Brett C]

Like I said, I am just guessing that its from the same source as the Japanese BD. But all the info thats been presented so far, its looking that way.

While I am a purist and noticed the changes featured in the transfer on the UK disc. It looks so much better than any way I had seen it in the past, I let it slide. The Anchor Bay DVD is unwatchable to me after seeing the UK BD.
The lossless sound helps as well.

Can't wait to actually hear peoples thoughts on the australian blu-ray

[MichaelCPE]

Does playing the disc show 1080i or 1080p?
(I don't trust what it says on the package.)

[fuzzymctiger]

The only thing i want to know, is are the reds red or pink?
