Saw them on the shelf at JB's yesterday, but they were only the SD versions.

What's with all these 1080i releases here of late? Anyway, 2 days ago JB's only had the SD-DVD versions on the shelf and no BD's. Hopefully, they have the BD's now, but the 1080i business is a little off-putting.

All bar 3 from the OP are available on Blu from Big W the recent batch of releases from this page are not yet on big Ws site as Blu only dvd. I hope that's not a sign that they are only going to have the dvd version from now on.

What the hell is up with BigW's prices? They used to be really cheap, browsing their site yesterday I was surprised how expensive a lot of their DVDs and blue were. JB's prices are way better.

Ill check later as i have a multiregion player

Just a quick bump. Re-titled the thread for easier spotting. Please be sure to add the region coding of each title to their Database listing if you buy a title

The titles confirmed so far (Dead & Buried, Lifeforce, Masters of the Universe) appear to show that these releases might all be Region Free?

vbmagus1980 · 02-10-2014, 12:41 PM

Bought both Dracula and Frankenstein BD's yesterday for $14 @ JB Hifi. Both are 1080i, DTS-HD 2.0 and Region B. Haven't watched them yet but just briefly skimmed through them. Dracula has better PQ than FFF, but FFF is the best I've ever seen so far on any type of media.

I also have the 3 Fulci movies (beyond, cotld and cemetery) if anyone wants any info on them. Will be picking up The Burning, Dead & Buried and Lifeforce soon........and maybe Maniac....

OK I've just been through all my Cimea Cult titles, and I can comfirm the following to be Region Free:

The Beyond
The Burning
City of the Living Dead
Dead & Buried
The House by the Cemetary
The Killing
Lifeforce
Lisa & The Devil
Maniac
Masters of the Universe
Paths of Glory
Vampyres &
Vanishing Point

How do these compare to the US releases in terms of PQ?

Boschy · 02-12-2014, 01:25 AM

I bought these titles recently...

FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN. Shabby 1080i transfer with obvious noise reduction and print specks/dirt.

BLOOD FOR DRACULA. Slightly better looking than FFF. Still 1080i and rather grainy. Both have print specks etc.

I would hold off on both until they get new transfers overseas or other releases are no better. Still, JB had them for $14 each last week.

FEAR CITY. We seem to have the Shout! Factory transfer. Has two versions of the film (defaults to US unrated version), but the unrated version with footage inserted from an analogue (?) source is still missing some bloodshed. Otherwise the theatrical version looks nice enough. Not really worth buying unless you're a completist.
