Originally posted by Paul L View PostOh, yes, and when I have some more spare cash I'll undoubtedly pick them up - but had they included English subs, I'd definitely have prioritised them over other releases that I've bought during the past six months or so.

Good news is that the release seems to have both English dub and subs.Originally posted by Paul L View PostThat'll be the first of these that I'm purchasing, then :)
The lack of English subtitles has put me off buying a few others in this series of Blu-rays - at least until they fall in price.

Yes, but aren't the English subtitles put on over a NEW voice track, as opposed to the original 1970s voice track?"I've been to college, but I can still speak English when business demands it."

Oh, I'll get them. They're just not a priority because the original voice track, and with it the integrity of the films, has not been respected. I'm disappointed in Ascot Elite. It is inconceivable to me that a distributor would do such a thing to a film."I've been to college, but I can still speak English when business demands it."

Originally posted by Lalala76 View PostLooks good in the main, but the film, oh boy!!! Actually the last 25 minutes is quite effective, its just that it takes so long to get going. Just remember to look out for the Head on a stick!!!

A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD opens with a shot of a small fishing boat docked at pier in what I assume is the Atlantic ocean. A couple of more shots of the water, and the camera is in motion, toward screen left. Then we are in a car driving along the coast, still moving toward the left, past beaches and fishing villages. The cutting becomes more rapid, the motion faster, as Bruno Nicolai's technopop score builds in tension. Then we are looking out the front window of the car as it accelerates down the road. Then bump! the motion comes to an abrupt stop and the camera starts panning in the opposite direction, disorienting us. When the pan ends, cut to the interior of a rundown hotel. Although we haven't seen a driver or an arrival, our protagonist has just arrived. Franco is trying to create the feeling of someone rushing toward something awful, but it doesn't quite jell because we don't see an emoting face, and the rush doesn't result in anything so much as taper off. The only thing the opening has to do with the story that follows is in generating a feeling of rushing toward something awful. Geographically, the story takes place somewhere else. Yet I love this opening. I just replayed it four times. It is pictorial. It moves. It has atmosphere and some kind of primitive style. And it's in focus. Maybe that's enough. Or maybe I just love driving along the coast of Portugal.Last edited by Richard--W; 01-23-2014, 03:34 PM."I've been to college, but I can still speak English when business demands it."
