Same. I'm bummed, as I thought I was getting it today.

Scalpel is an excellent little movie! Arrow may be marketing it as a horror film but it's more lurid melodrama with the occasional foray into psychological thriller. (Douglas Sirk for the grindhouse?) The film is dialogue driven and has a certain detached coldness to it that I think might rub some genre fans the wrong way. It really couldn't be more different than Blood Rage.

Robert Lansing and Judith Chapman both give excellent nuanced performances. The cinematography is top notch and the framing often results in beautiful and even classy compositions. Editing is superior for this kind of film but it is slow paced. The script is also much better than you would think for an obscure regional genre film. Highly recommended for people who are more into the arthouse side of genre cinema. (Though I suspect most people will come away with a favorable view of the film) A real hidden gem!

You had me at Douglas Sirk.

Desperately wish Criterion would release some blus of Magnificent Obsession and Written on the Wind.

Same here. Well, on the second statement; I'm not sold on Scalpel (doesn't seem like my kind of film).

I'm happy that I managed to get both of the Sirks from Masters of Cinema (one of which was OOP).

Man, they've been working on/teasing Written on the Wind for ages. I wonder what the holdup is.

ianungstad · 03-14-2018, 04:05 PM

When I made the Sirk comparison; I was thinking of Magnificent Obsession in particular. The doctor trying to cure his love of blindness has certain parallels to the mad doctor and his daughter-doll in Scalpel. I was just trying to think of how to describe Scalpel and how it isn't really a horror film and would be more accurately be described as a perverted melodrama.

StarDestroyer52 · 03-14-2018, 07:31 PM

It looks like L'Atlantide is currently unavailable for order on Amazon US and has a release date listed as 12/31/2019. I'm waiting for Arrow to ask my inquiry about this.

This looks awesome, I can't wait to get my copy. I also desperately need to get more Arrow spaghetti Westerns like Day of Anger and Cemetery Without Crosses.

definitely get those two. i originally saw the latter on some spaghetti western set plagued with A/V quality issues,but the quality shown through nonetheless. Day of Anger is a classic, that goes without saying.

NoirFan · 03-14-2018, 07:48 PM

I'm pleased to see some new Spaghetti Westerns entering the collection, but is frustrating to see the delays that used to plague Arrow regularly cropping up again (with both this and Killer Klowns).

Not sure if anyone posted this yet (and apologies if they did, I couldn't find it referenced), but Edgar Wright announced on his Instagram account that his first feature film, A Fistful Of Fingers (1995) was going to be getting a DVD / Blu-ray release via Arrow later this year.

Is L'atlantide yet another delayed title? The Amazon US listing is gone, and the UK one shows a 12/19 placeholder date.

I asked Arrow this exact question and they said its indefinitely delayed and has no re-confirmed release date at this time.

I would be interested if it was part of a set that included his early tv work. (Asylum? Spaced?) Has the BBC ever licensed anything to Arrow; maybe a documentary that was used as an extra?

JupiterMission · 03-19-2018, 04:11 AM

Looks like that long delayed Blair Witch book is coming out Tuesday. Anybody know anything about it? Bull Moose has a pretty good deal on it. I may pick it up.

DenOfEarth · 03-20-2018, 09:43 PM

Arrow did it again with Basket Case, amazing transfer/restoration.

I'm suppose to be getting that in a couple days along with the thing limited edition. Must say that I only watched Basket Case on VHS like.. 21 years ago.
