To me anything Olinka Berova is in is worth checking out I love this sequel much more than the first one, but I guess it’s just me (also love the jazzy music by Mario Nascimbene).

I think all Hammer films have some fans somewhere. I'm a completist so would be looking to buy VOS but Shout release day prices are a bit too much for what I want to pay for this one.
DPOD on the other hand I'll get asap once I know if the post credits fade is back

They did say a while back that lower sales than expected might slow things down but with Network having a long running deal with SC it's safe to say that if SC really can't be bothered Network will be ( assuming the HD masters actually get done)
Also worth noting that some of the films in that set have different owners in the US so might appear there first.

The dvd set does not include Lust for a Vampire which is another one they have. As you can see most of the best they have is out and titles like The Nanny and Frankenstein Created Woman are available in Australia although The Nanny needs a new master desperately.

Thanks. So quite a few titles yet. Figures.

It's not a StudioCanal release, it's Icon, and they seem to have been hanging on by a thread for years. If they ever do repress it (it's been out for five years now) they'll probably just do it as a single disc, but that's unlikely because at the time they released it they were in partnership with Exclusive Media, who represented the Hammer library and the 21st century Hammer pictures (Wioman in Black, Quiet Ones, etc), and Exclusive went bust in 2015. Ebay may be your best bet for a s/h copy.

It doesn't have to be 3 discs though,the extras are on the blu ray.I think I'm gonna wait for now,maybe Anolis will release it and port the extras,like they did with Dracula.

Thanks a lot! i have never heard of this site before though,and I don't know if they ship internationally,but I'll look into it.

I wonder if we will ever see Moon Zero Two on bluray? I don't think it has even been released on vhs.

[Aclea]

I could see Warner Archive getting round to it - to a chorus of outrage on the site from those constantly complaining that WA only ever release trashy scifi and horror () - and HMV picking it up a couple of years or so after that for their Premium line.

It was apparently an upcoming retail VHS title from Parkfield just before they went spectacularly bust but it did come out in a rare double-bill DVD with the uncut version of When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth and then later as a standalone DVD-R in the States.

So unlikely then.

Best not to worry about UK releases of anything. So many titles from Warner get released in the US and the rest of Europe like Frankenstein Must be Destroyed/Taste the Blood that we don't get here. There is a very long list of them. Even now key titles like The Time Machine and many others have appeared here years after the US but only in the HMV collection.

MZ2 seems a shoe in for a Warner Archive release at some point based on their current output

Has there been any news on the make up of the next hammer indicator box set? It was rumoured that revenge of frankenstein would be in the line up and i noticed that a new french remastered bd of this is coming out.
Of the more " horror" type titles would be vampire circus be possible?

It's highly likely to consist of Sony titles, and given the titles confirmed to be with Indicator and what we can likely guess the theme of the fourth box to be on the basis of that, the set will probably comprise:

Revenge of Frankenstein
The Damned
Two Faces of Dr Jekyll
Scream of Fear

There's also the possibility that they might squeeze The Ugly Duckling on there, possibly on the Dr Jekyll disc (seems unlikely they'd include this on another set, and an individual release would be unusual).

I imagine Vampire Circus is with ITV over here so Network is probably your best bet. Indicator have been making great progress in terms of deals with British companies (Film4, Handmade, Euro London), so I suppose it's not completely out of the question we might see non-Sony Hammer titles at some point. That said, there aren't many left that haven't been released by other labels, while the number that remain unreleased here are largely with parties (WB, Icon) that might be out of Indicator's reach.

Are you referring to Indicator's/Micheal's comments on FB ?

[Bumbandit]

That the Indicator set will include Sony titles is more than highly likely. It's a certainty as they only have Sony Hammer titles. And they confirmed quite a long time ago that a fifth set might be possible after they acquired some additional titles.

I think all eyes will be on the French release of Revenge of Frankenstein to see if a new master has been done or whether they reuse the rubbish Mill Creek used.

Also quite a while ago it was reported they were working on a very complicated release which to me sounds like they are attempting to include all 3 cuts of The Damned so that may account for the delay of the next boxset.

Vampire Circus is with ITV in both the US and UK but in the UK they licenced it out to a company who chose to only release a dvd version so seems likely the Bluray from Network is waiting in a pipeline of indeterminate length.
If you're very keen to see it then the Synapse disc has been available for almost a decade but requires multi region. I expect the German release is OOP but should be available somewhere

Hope they fix the missing dialogue from Vampire Circus then for the Blu Ray
