Is the Umbrella BD region free? Are you happy with the transfer on a bd-50?
Thanks in advance!

I think it's region B. The transfer looked fine to me, but I really don't have any frame of reference.

I got my set from HMV this morning, haven't had a chance to watch the film yet but the package itself is excellent.

I hope the transfer / encode is good.

its meant to be the same print as the Australian Umbrella Entertainment release.

Then we are two

Retro81 · 02-24-2025, 03:08 PM

its here, the artwork is awesome

Buckster666 · 02-24-2025, 10:51 PM

Got mine today, just finished watching it. Still one of my favourite childhood films.

Rutger Lundgren · 02-25-2025, 11:56 AM

Any direct comparisons with Umbrella that demonstrate the promised better compression yet?

pspence01 · 02-28-2025, 05:23 AM

Is this transfer any different that the previous blu ray releases ?

Compared to the Warner release, the colour timing is definetly better here. Noticealbly in the post-credits sequence.

Sold out at 88 films already it seems.

TwinCitiesBluFan · 02-28-2025, 10:10 PM

My copy arrived today. Haven't rewatched this film for at least a few years, so it will be fun to revisit.

Only initial warehouse stock will be sold out.

I just watched an unboxing of this, and I'm so perplexed by this release. The hardcase and the slip both look nice, but who asked for forty (40!) pages of nothing but screengrabs?

They did call it a "picture book" which has always meant just that - shots from the film, not even memorabilia, posters, BTS etc.

While I'd have loved essays and such, they've just done what they said they would.

I love how back in the 80s as a kid the first you would know about a film like this would be a trailer or even better just walking past the cinema and seeing that a film about something you were crazy about was out now and have no idea it was even being made.
