The Amicus Collection (1972-2017) - Page 7 - Blu-ray Forum

Yes the PQ isn't hat good. The Beast Must Die is pretty bad. Asylum is ok, better but with moments which put it back. And Now the Screaming Starts is the best. Each definitely come off looking like film, which isn't bad. Even though I really like Asylum, my personal fav here is And the Screaming Starts. The color is rich and darker tone holds a lot of detail.

In all I'm very happy with the extras in the box set and it's a nice presentation.

Received mine today as well, "Jack The Ripper" was also in the shipping box.

Got #1150/3500.
I noticed upon opening, the individual amarays (agree, the black is very nice) have that stupid sealing label tape along the top, so I suspect that's a good indication they intend to sell these separately as well, in the near future.
I plan to watch "Jack" tonight, double billing it with "Murder By Decree" (Sherlock Holmes vs Jack).
Tomorrow I'll do an Amicus evening...

edit: I thought for some reason "Jack" was a limited edition but there's no number on it. Doesn't matter, still looks lovely.

Severin Blu-ray releases of Asylum and And Now the Screaming Starts was released separately same time as the box set on January 16th

The Beast Must Die and The Vault of Amicus is exclusive to the Box Set

My "Beast Must Die" had label tape along the top as well.
No big thing, but it may mean they will eventually sell it separate as well.

Ahhhh.

I didn't think to question it. I was just glad that I only had to remove that &#@%ing security tape from two Blu-rays instead of all four.

I noticed the set is out of stock at Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, and Deep Discount. The price has jumped to $79.99 at Amazon, so I placed an order directly through Severin before the set is completely sold out.

bigshot · 01-19-2018, 12:21 AM

Only two of mine had sealing tape.

All of the box sets are like that, since the other two titles are exclusive in the set and not sold separately.

Mine also had 2 titles with the tape, but they were Asylum & The Beast Must Die for some reason... I believe the latter is not sold separately.

I'm extremely interested in this. I couldn't find any mention in previous posts (forgive me if I missed it), but does anyone know if this set is region free? My player is region B locked unfortunately.

Yes, all 4 discs in the set are region free. The "A/B/C" logos appear on the back covers, and I tested it on a multi-region player.

That's great news. Thank you very much Katatonia.

Sadly, Amazon.ca still hasn't gotten any in stock. I got the customary e-mail "...Do you want to keep waiting for this item?" I cancelled the order and re-ordered on Amazon.com; losing any pre-order savings I would've had. I remember with the Phantasm box set, Amazon.ca failing to ever get any in stock before they went out of print.

That must suck for you guys. I'm always in awe of the seeming insurmountable difficulty of getting products shipped to Canada and why it's so expensive to import/export. I always thought geographical location could be a factor but that's just silly.

Yes, I ordered mine from Amazon.com too. In fact, Amazon UK didn't even have it on their listings, only a DVD set.

I hope to have my set soon.

Hopefully, we won't have too long to wait. I'd love to see some more Amicus titles appearing, including the remaining anthology films they made that have yet to receive a blu-ray release, for example The House That Dripped Blood.
