Thanks! Yeah, that's the article that pointed me in the direction of the Aussie disc. I agree that matching the UK disc seems to suggest accuracy, but after the whole Dog Soldiers debacle, I'm not sure what to think about Neil Marshall's involvement with home video releases of his movies. And I agree that the Lionsgate disc has some issues, but with the Aussie disc, I sometimes felt like I was watching an Argento movie. The reds were very red, and the greens were very green. I'm not sure that I'll have a go-to disc with this one. I might just go back and forth.
