The Official 88 Films Thread

What's with all the Indicator releases lol. They Made Me a Fugitive is excellent though.

Not sure about the films (most I have never seen before), but the artwork on those new covers looks stunning! I particularly love the one for TIME WITHOUT PITY.

Its tempting to buy just because pretty, right?

I keep nearly picking up Eureka’s The Skyhawk then I read the reviews or watch the trailer and remember that would be stupid. But the art is such a nice colour!

I didn't mind The Skyhawk.

Love the newly created artwork, but will pass on these new titles as I already have the Powerhouse UK releases. Already have VS's release of Evil Laugh (I have seen over the years, some VS titles making their way over here from 88 Films, but it is a bit peculiar with the former Powerhouse titles getting another UK Blu-ray release).

DVD Beaver have put a review up for The Man Called Noon. All I had seen of this film before were some bits from an airing on I think Legend (but I could be wrong). The example screenshots of the landscape scenes look particularly impressive.

Was going to get some titles in 88 Films' most recent direct sale, but I decided to pass on getting them until a later time.

Just don’t expect a straightforward slashe; it's a slow and bleak psychological descent into madness and murder, with strong political undertones. The kills are there, but it’s not your typical body-count film (though labeled a video nasty back in the 80s, it's actually a classy and thoughtful film).

Thank you both its something I was intrested in picking up and looks like a good one - Didn't get the Severin one on the last sale so will defo pick up the 88 one along with the newer Slasher Classics Releases.

I just need to compare my current The Town That Dread Sundown with this newly announced one as the Scream Factory one has the Evictors I have yet to watch.

Been an expensive month with Severin, 88 films and Vinegar Syndrome!

Already have Eureka's (and I think Shout's) release of the original Town That Dreaded Sundown. Would like to see The Evictors get the 88 Films treatment (based on a user review of Shout's release of the film on it's own, the audio could do with being improved).

Ordered

Ordered, thanks for the heads up

[MifuneFan]

The Cat Standard Edition coming November 25th in the US. The LE is still available in the UK.

With it only coming out this month, I'm guessing that if 88 Films do another direct sale before the year is out, The Man Called Noon may not be discounted (titles that came out during the summer like Murderock and Neither the Sea Nor the Sand should be).

Don't know if it's possible, but I'd like them to release The Belle Starr Story and The Clairvoyant (aka The Killing Hour).
