Interesting! I thought I'd check it out 'cause I don't remember any songs from Inferno outside of the score. IMDb says she's uncredited on Mater Tenebrarum, so I guess she's just a member of the chorus. Unfortunately no disco goodness.

Was going to buy this bc of the glowing review but those caps look a bit teal for my liking I hear Arrow looks more natural but might wait for a 4k release since we have seen with teal Blus that the teal is not on the 4k.

Let us know when that UHD is announced. Ta.

I can see the complaints based on the caps, but I didn't notice any teal when I watched it on my calibrated set.

AlexIlDottore · 12-10-2018, 09:34 PM

No problems here.

JohnCarpenterFan · 12-10-2018, 09:41 PM

As with 90% of cases on here, the "teal" complaints are overblown nonsense. Who says the Arrow or any of the other releases are accurate?

DVD masters are DVD masters (horrible track record when it comes to accuracy) and Arrow were clearly afraid to dial in the colors and contrast like they were with several other of their remasters, films were graded photochemically and they were high contrast elements. The Arrow looks like a negative scan, converted to a positive with very little in the way of contrast/color, quite the opposite of how a print would look being a high contrast element and all.

Teal? The new BU blows the over-sharpened Arrow big time. Exelent release by BU!

scandi1 · 12-12-2018, 01:16 AM

By the way, hope Lustig do a 4k remaster of all the Fulci's BU holds the rights to. New York ripper is coming😎.

Other than NYR, does Blue Underground still have the rights to any of these:
Conquest
Contraband
Four of the Apocalypse
House By the Cemetery

I didn't find the Arrow release over-sharpened, I doubt a James White supervised restoration from the OCN would have that kind of tinkering. It was brighter and had issues with contrast / blown out whites, which again I realized on comparison with the new BU blu (indisputably the best of the lot).

RockyIII · 12-12-2018, 10:03 AM

LOL@people making their choices based on caps. This is a gorgeous transfer, and I don't even like the genre!

It also didn't look over sharpended to me but I never liked the contrast and brighter look of it. I managed to get it for cheap though after I already bought the first BU release.

Meanwhile I'm getting impatient in receiving my splinter copy...

Do you have a link where I can hear a sample of that song? Thanks!

Matt89 · 12-12-2018, 02:13 PM

Yeah this 4K remaster actually blows away the Arrow (which in itself isn’t a bad transfer).

Now that Lustig mentioned New York Ripper is coming, I hope they remaster House by the Cemetery as well.

Brian81 · 12-12-2018, 02:23 PM

All of those LVR titles need to be redone.

Based on appearance, that would include titles like 'Killer Nun', 'Salon Kitty', 'Baba Yaga', '10th Victim', 'A Bullet for the General', ...hell, most of them.

I eventually stopped buying them altogether and just left things as-is with the DVDs. It felt like a giant waste throwing money at bad presentations over and over.

BU also needs to do updated versions of 'Eugenie', '99 Women', and 'Girl From Rio'.

Add The Beyond to that.

Ask Grindhouse Releasing. And Cannibal Holocaust while they're at it. Both discs need a remaster.

We also need a 4K remaster of Living Dead at Manchester Morgue.

That one was so bad I did not even update from the Anchor Bay DVD...
