That approach is going to significantly limit how many, if any, I will buy. I always wanted to see the Four Sided Triangle...if there weren't a gazillion other box sets - also LE - that are on my want list, I wouldn't hesitate. however, since there are...

Four Sided Triangle is included as an extra on the Lionsgate blu ray of Curse of Frankenstein, so you can pick it up that way if you don't want to get the LE.

Maybe Hammer, given its standing, can in one way or another get deals on those films. I personally would not rule anything in or out.

Well yes, but that's an old SD transfer (as well as being the worst option to pick up Curse of Frankenstein on Blu).

Why would ITV do a deal for a handful of films with Hammer when they won't with other UK independent labels as the owners of some of them have gone on record saying in the past.

It seems unlikely at this moment. But one can hope that Hammer can use their power and money to get them back from ITV but at present I would say it's nearly impossible. Strange that ITV are do happy to licence out to Australia but then so does Studiocanal with their crown jewels - Carry on films, On The Buses etc

I had read somewhere erroneously that Hammer only had the rights to their pre-Curse of Frankenstein titles and some of the 1970s output. The admin from one of the Hammer fan groups on FB was kind enough to correct me, but it is really nice that have a list to see what some of the possible forthcoming titles may be.

Hammerlover · 02-12-2025, 01:23 PM

R.I.P. Nike Arrighi (1947-2025). She appeared in THE DEVIL RIDES OUT.

oddbox83 · 02-12-2025, 02:37 PM

Man in Black and Room to Let would be a fantastic double feature and both are begging for a remaster.

Or add Dr Morelle and make it a Valentine Dyall box set.

You are more than welcome. Just thought it would be a good idea so everyone knew who owned what as Hammer's filmography is a bit of a mess in terms of rights

Hopefully Hammer will get there. The more the merrier

Also a gypsy girl in Countess Dracula.

Hammer is not just another UK independent label. IMO the chances of a deal being done is more likely than not. If I am wrong you have my full permission to gloat and tell me "I told you so".

I really like the new art work for Four Sided Triangle and I'm hoping a poster is available tomorrow.

120 page booklet and pointless BD included......so much for cheaper UHD prices from Gore....

Pointless to you, but for those that are yet to upgrade (a lot of users), naturally the inclusion of a Blu-Ray is most welcome, and I'm sure it won't be that to heavily inflate the price.

And you keep complaining about the price, when as far as I know, the price for the new release isn't even known at the moment (until tomorrow), and it will surely be cheaper than Captain Kronos.

I honestly don't get your complaints, when US labels like Vinegar Syndrome or Severin frequently charge $40 for a single disc release, with a slipcover, and Shout's Hammer releases, like for example The Vampire Lovers, cost $34,98 alone, for a single BD.

Compared to those US releases, Captain Kronos had a very reasonable price tag, considering it's 5 discs (not even factoring the physical extras, and the very solid, quality packaging).

As someone in Europe, I bought the Limited Edition of Captain Kronos for less than what any of the releases I mentioned above would cost me, when I add shipping from the US (and I'm not even factoring customs charges).
And Hammer even sent me a 20% discount code for the next order, which is bound to save me some money on their next title.

I understand not wanting the physical extras, so I'm sure if you wait a bit, you will surely be able to get a regular release without them, for a bit cheaper, either from Hammer, or a US label.
But again, as far as pricing go, compared to what other "boutique" labels are offering for similar prices, the first Hammer release was very reasonably priced.

we will see if this bears out, but I saw the Four Sided Triangle temporarily listed with a price of $45. That page has since been taken down. We will find out tomorrow!

Just for reference, since you saw the price in USD, can you please let me know what's the price you see (in USD) on Captain Kronos?

thanks

$64 (assuming I am seeing USD)

A potentially $20 USD difference between the two releases.

As I said, that $45 price was erroneously listed prematurely. we won't know the real price until tomorrow.

Thanks.

The cheaper price, plus the 20% off discount code I have, will make this one easier on the wallet.

filmlover22 · 02-13-2025, 07:53 PM

did everyone get the 20% who ordered Kronos? That would be an interested business model: Buy an expensive LE and get 20% of your next order...
