Decided that the website exclusive packaging was worth the extra cost so I went with it

Do their LEs have slipcovers, or do the regular editions get them, too? I find that some of the pictures look like they have slips.

I have the regular UHD editions of Anthro and Absurb and they have slips. I think they only have so many and then they ship without them, kind of like Scream does. Like first pressing possibly. I just got my copy of Eyeball UHD yesterday and I purchased the LE, because the regular UHD of it does not have a slip. I hope this is not a trend, as I like to have just the slip on the UHD and not the complete swag package, but I am afraid it may become normal.

Available now at Orbit DVD. I just ordered mine. Does anyone know if the original poster artwork is on the reverse of the insert?

It's the Italian poster with the Gatti rossi in un labirinto di vetroe title. It's the same poster as this only slightly reformatted to fit Amaray case dimensions.

Thanks for the info!

I wonder why Severin or BU haven't released this in the US yet. Rights issues? Heck, 88 Films has given us many great dual region releases but not this one.

[Driver78]

^ or Lamberto Bava's Macabre. Don't know about Eyeball having rights issues but Macabre at least was released on DVD in the US, while Eyeball has never been released legitimately here. I have both from 88 but I'd still like a US counterpart, at least for Macabre.

Would anyone who has the 4K care to comment on PQ? I've read one glowing review online but I like to get the input of forum members as well.

Weird, Orbit didn't ship my preorder from 6 weeks ago, and also didn't ship out Pulse 4k or my Curzon 4k release of Paris, Texas 4k. They've been slowing down noticeably lately, and this is the third or fourth preorder where they've got units in stock already, and hit release day, before shipping my preorders that were placed weeks ago. Might switch more of my business over to Atomic.

That's unfortunate. I ordered mine on Sunday when I noticed it was in stock and it's due to arrive tomorrow. You should definitely have yours.

Nope, no other titles to hold my orders up. This is the fourth title that came in days ago that they didn't ship, from my very early preorders. I think I'll call there tomorrow. It still hasn't shipped and they've had it for days. I agree, very odd, a new thing I've noticed, just starting a few weeks ago. They've been super reliable up 'til now.

I've just received shipping notice for the exclusive Eyeball edition.

Just got mine in today's post, and I'm going to be watching it this weekend. I got the regular 4K limited edition and it's a thing of beauty, with a nice rigid hard box, perfect bound booklet, poster, and, of course, art cards.

This is a lovely restoration, Even the English soundtrack has more definition and Less heavy handed restoration than the previous release (you can hear the hits at the start of drums on the main title that were declicked on the old version) Grain is handled very nicely through out and I only spotted a very few marks. Well done 88.

Yeah I just watched the new 4K last night and I concur; the transfer is very nice, with a tight but visible grain structure and beautifully saturated colors and solid contrast. No complaints.
