[Killer Meteor]

I'd rather have a dammaged print then something slathered with noise reduction

"Artwork reveal for the Limited Edition Slipcase of our release of the 1981 Taiwanese black magic gorefest, THE DEVIL. Coming to you with a BRAND NEW moldtastic 4k scan from the quickly deteriorating OCNand presented in its true uncut version for the first time on home video."

They weren't kidding about the quality of the negative. This might be the only way to see this film in its OAR, uncut with original audio but everything else relating to PQ is sub par. I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone purchase this on the basis of it being a 4K scan blu ray, there is just too much print damage that really detracts from the viewing experience. Hope Ian gives it an honest review and posts up some screenshots, so everyone can see the shitty quality of the print.

"Just got word that the disc and sleeves for THE DEVIL are ready, we are just waiting for the slipcases which are hopefully arriving next week. Once all of the pieces are ready to go, they will be assembled and shipping will begin!"

I'm really looking forward to revisiting this bizarre, psychedelic, and grotesque film on blu ray.

Cinemageddon has a couple of different versions. Someone uploaded I think the Japanese VHS which has a few extra seconds and the picture is a bit nicer. I think someone took that version and cleaned it up as best as they could.

The Japanese VHS is the best release of THE RAPE AFTER there is. Uncut and letterboxed. I have a dvdr that *someone* made, he restored the picture somewhat and added English subs. I believe that's also the CG version (I'm not a member).

The HK VHS from Ocean Shores is cut, the HK VCD (also from Ocean Shores!) is uncut. There's no dvd.

I thought about it too.

I'm tempted to order the combo pack with the T-shirt. The design looks pretty cool.

It's up for pre-order. So is Mr No Legs!

"THE DEVIL is about to enter its last step, which is subtitling from Mandarin to English. After that, we will be sending the Blu-ray to replication. We will have an artwork reveal next week, stay tuned for that."

I remember thinking that THE RAPE AFTER was cool, but the bootleg I saw was nearly unwatchable. Is their a decent version available to watch?

VCD or VHS is as good as it gets.

As for The Devil, ill get it for sure. Kind of surprised to see it getting released. Not one of the better of it's kind but it's a fairly small field and pretty much everything is enjoyable with the exception of Black Magic (1993)
