I absolutely hate delaying releases, its always gutting when we have to...

Anyway, sorry.

As long as all is good with the release delay as much as you need to.

88's new 4k uhd disc for Cannibal Holocaust looks so good! I can't lie - now that I've seen that, it's going to be extra-tough to wait until this puppy is ready to drop out of the oven. One of my most wanted Italian zombie horrors, it's still almost impossibly hard to believe that it's dropping soon on 4k in the first place. Spoil me rotten, 88!!!!!!!

Is this a deleted scene from CH?

Come on, man, you're seriously making me consider not waiting for the Grindhouse edition and grabbing this one. Stop praising it!

Delay away, I’d rather wait than have a rushed release.

Member-222782 · 12-22-2022, 02:49 PM

I plan on picking up most of these splatter epics in 4K no matter who releases them. 88 seems to be the current front runner, which surprises me since they're up to their eyeballs in karate flicks but I'm glad someone is doing these. Severin feels like the only US label who might tackle some of these movies but I think we'll have to wait until their love affair with Jess Franco cools down a bit lol. So much Italian goodness to upgrade!

Same. I'm drooling at the possibilities. Even though 88 will likely be limited in what they can release uncut, I'm still going to be 100% supportive on what they can get licensed and released on 4k. Cannibal Holocaust, a controversial title, was a bold, huge step and an amazing 4k project - a ballsy move on 88's part for such an early title in their 4k catalog, and for the fact that it had to be cut, at no fault of their own. I do think Severin and maybe Ronin might be our best chance for other cannibal genre goodies on this side of the pond.

Burial Ground should be uncut.

Yes, I meant in terms of possible future releases of other Italian cannibal jungle adventure flicks by UK boutiques, where things like the animal killings footage will trigger possible automatic cuts, as happened with Cannibal Holocaust.

DaylightsEnd · 02-01-2023, 10:04 PM

Anyone other than me champing at the bit yet for this much-anticipated Italian zombie-gore horror/jungle adventure to hit the pipeline? Not much chatter out there, I'm hearing crickets. The calendar is finally ticking down (assuming the street date stays February 27) and my longstanding Grindhouse preorder for 88's Hell of the Living Dead 4k and House on the Edge of the Park 4k is getting pretty ripe...I'd love to see these hit a little early.

Yeah, 88's obsession with karate flicks turned me away from them for the most part these past few years. I love Asian cinema but karate flicks aren't really my bag and they've gone overkill with them. It's good to see they're back to horror and remembering Italian goodness!

The success of these “karate flicks” probably helped fund production of some of these horror 4Ks, so we should be thankful 88 Films released so many of them.

Ok, MARTIAL ARTS films.... But, I mean, they did release TONS of horror films before this recent craze of martial arts films so funding them hasn't been an issue.

According to the BU BD at least, it says it was made in Stereo in the opening credits.

Update:

Says this on dvdcompare.net: "The trailers and title card erroneously sport a "Dolby Stereo" logo but the film was mixed in mono with Dolby noise reduction."

Davo92 · 02-09-2023, 07:47 PM

Looking at the screenshots on 88's site just makes me even more excited for this release, can see natural film grain finally

Member-222782 · 02-13-2023, 01:41 PM

Yeah, those grabs look great. Glad to see the 2/27 street date is still holding true. I'm HIGHLY anticipating this one. 88 leading the pack with these 4K Italo upgrades.

Steedeel · 02-14-2023, 09:36 AM

Although Flesh Eaters is way superior, I will probably get this as it was one of my very early VHS rentals back in the day. Love Zombie films, heck I even sort of liked Zombie Lake!
