i think its cool that they put a little more effort into their releases, as misguided as they might be.

Fair enough, I actually like what both you and demiscy are saying. My 'cheap and tacky' remark would have been my final word on the matter, had it not been for the 'crapping on threads' post which was clearly rather irritating, and designed solely for that antagonistic purpose. IMO, Inferno is one of the greatest & most important films ever made and Argento IS my favourite director so folks will have to excuse my extreme passion on this ONE subject. btw On a technical side, this is only an upgrade release. I have been informed that the master being used was created for the 2007 (and excellent) Italian dvd release. I'm obviously looking forward to an upgrade now and even more so, the subsequent Blue Underground bd release where a new high definition master will be created from the original negative. But as Arrow don't offer me releases at production cost price, and I am paying the full retail value, I'll feel entitled to criticise such releases if I feel it necessary. Ironically, a member post search will find that I am far less harsh than others on the flawed (but certainly not deal breaking) Cini-Excess Suspiria release. As for City Of The Living Dead, I would advise to buy Blue Underground instead of Arrow. Despite utilising the same master, something clearly went wrong because the BU release has noticeably better PQ...and film>extras imho.
