I had never seen Dead Pit before and really enjoyed it. The zombies had a very unique look and way of moving that I really liked. One complaint about the lead, although she’s smoking hot with a smokin hot bod, she had perpetual constipation face. The transfer was pretty solid, I agree with the poster above that a little more clean up could’ve been done, but there were some impressive detail throughout.

Hopefully it is fine. DF was supposed to ship out my replacement yesterday.

What's with the intrigue? It's like slow water torture. Would it be far too unreasonable to post it up on the webstore with an "Add to Cart" button under it, and just let it.....sell? I wonder if DF might be costing themselves quite a few sales opportunities on these titles by not running a somewhat normal and more accessible pre-order.

I imagine that's just strange wording, he probably just meant when you'll be able to order, it will surely be on the site.

Another odd 4k upgrade imo.

It's kinda disappointing the Dead Pit UHD doesn't have SDH or any kind of captions. I hate when stuff like that is overlooked but that's just a personal peeve. We live in a world where every Dead Pit release never received subtitles of any kind as far as I know and it makes me sad.

What's even sadder Valerie is that Banana Man didn't make it to see the 4K release of DEAD PIT.

Magdalena pristine 1 of 3 glow in the dark slip selling for $120 on DF store. I must have one of the 3 cause mine seems to be in perfect shape. I’ve also kept it in a clear plastic protector since I got it.

Also curious what the Dark Force logo’d item is pictured in some of the new bundles. Looks to be a tee. Would cop if these were available eventually.

As soon as you remove it from the plastic protector it's going to crumble like a vampire in sunlight.

Ya I really hate when movies don't have subtitles at all, kinda a bummer.

Mine looked like that when I unboxed it. Keep it in the protector!

It's become second nature for me to have subtitles on. It's more so a natural personal preference in my case and feels really awkward when viewing a film without them.

I think it has to do that I have been accustomed in a way watching so many foreign films over the years.

DaveyJoe · 03-10-2023, 07:31 PM

I have hearing damage from working in a helicopter so I hope Dark Force puts subtitles on their future releases.

Ruined · 03-10-2023, 08:17 PM

If you are thinking about it, Dead Pit 4K definitely worth pulling the trigger on, big improvement from the Blu-ray. Scream 4K is an upgrade too, just less so, plus you don't get as much in the package.

I agree. Dead Pit 4K really is a nice upgrade from the blu. My first copy was scratched to sh!t, so it stopped 3 times. The Demon took care of me and sent another copy. That one has a scratch on it too, but it did play all the way through the film without stopping, so that was good. I didn't check the features, but the main movie was my concern. Odd choice in Black Gestapo 4K, but I think the film is great and will probably break down and buy it anyway, cuz I'm a sucker for 4K...

. But.. will never pick up Scream 4K. That movie sucks so badly I can't even begin..

RadicalThrasher · 03-11-2023, 10:52 PM

Demon Dave.....just wanted to send out a big thanks for unleashing upon the the world the insane, awesome madness that is Kill Crazy. Never in my life did I imagine this would make jump the blu ray.

[Show spoiler]

Anybody on the fence that likes wtf movies or badass action movies.....or a combination of the 2 owes it to themselves to pick this up. Hopefully more Heavener (this is arguably his best flick) or other lost action flicks in the pipeline. If I remember correctly Bill said something along the lines of a Heavener box set!!! Fingers crossed.

DaylightsEnd · 03-12-2023, 12:46 PM

I’ve never seen Kill Crazy. Trailer looks like a big bundle of fun, enough to roll the dice on. Think I’ll blind-buy the DF blu on this one.

Surge92 · 03-12-2023, 02:03 PM

Did I miss the weekend store reopening with the Dead Pit 4K? I just read about it a little while ago, but when I went to the site, it's down as usual.
