[Quuhod]

Devil Girl from Mars Blu-Ray*

"One winter evening in a lonely Scottish inn, guests become prisoners when Nyah, a pitiless Martian with a robot minion, lands on earth and traps them within an invisible wall. With Martian males extinct after a battle of the sexes, Nyah aims to capture breeding stock on Earth. As escape attempts falter, the helpless humans must decide which one of them will die to save the others and possibly the world!"

at least they recognized their error... some companies wouldn't even care.

"Injury detail" sounds surprising for a PG, perhaps there's not a great deal of it?

I've applied for a replacement disc but not received anything yet

Good stuff. Is there a re-release date for this? Hope to get this one soon along with the other film released at the same time. Don't fancy a pony disc though!

Me neither.

Looks like people are still waiting for a replacement disc. When the re-release date is announced I'll post it here.

I missed the initial release (thankfully) so looking forward to the reissue.

No way will I be paying 500 quid for one with botched audio (looking at you Amazon marketplace).

Glad to hear they’re replacing the faulty discs. I’ll be picking this up as soon as it’s reissued.

I received the replacement disc from Studio Canal this morning. I've sampled a few scenes and can confirm the sync problem is fixed.

Mine came too - Disc in a slimline transparent amaray case...

[The Hornets]

Mine arrived today as well

[Cosmo Valdemar]

Replacement disc received here too, no notification it was on it's way though

[WaverBoy]

Ok, now we just need the reissue…

[GlacierTuba]

Are there any indicators on the disc label that state its a reissued disc?

The only difference that I can see, is that on the original disc, the number under the Irish rating logo is OPTBD4545 but on the re-issued disc it is OPTBD4545N.

[GlacierTuba]

N probably meaning NEW, or something like that perhaps. Good stuff, thanks for the heads up.

It's finally back up on Amazon now, presumably the corrected article.

The blu-ray.com page still links to the old release. I've added the new Amazon link above.
