Uncut? New transfer?

Should be uncut - the BBFC passed it uncut in 2008 for Argent Films.

Hope they run with the first cover at the top of the thread.

I'm hoping for that 3rd cover. I've still never seen this film even though I have the Blue Underground release. It's a movie I've been interested in, just never got around to watching it with all the other discs in my collection I still need to watch. I am interested in this 88 Films release though. I'm keeping a close eye on how it's gonna compare to the Blue Underground disc.

I'm for cover #2 - the world needs more Enrico Maria Salerno covers and #4 is kinda lame. Number 3 makes it look a bit like a Blind Dead film.

I like the second one too.

I think the third is the US poster which carried the title NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT, and I seem to recall the first image is from the UK VHS (which was titled DON'T TRAVEL ON LATE NIGHT TRAINS). The fourth image I recognise but can't place - is it from the Italian poster art?

Am I being daft, don't Shameless have a UK version of this out and in-print? How can 88 be releasing this as well? Unless they have some kind of blu-ray only deal?

I'm not really a fan of any of those artworks. To be honest I've never see the film but I'm sure cover C is not representative of what goes on in the film. It really does make it look like a Blind Dead film. As for Shameless, then I think they have been slow on the uptake to expand into blu-ray proper. Maybe they decided that they weren't going for blu-ray rights. I'm not sure how that works.

In the context of the US poster, where the image from, it's just a mash-up of the iconography of other films. The title is from that US release, THE NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT. The poster makes it look like the train compartment is a living room with a window overlooking the NIGHT OF THE SEAGULLS.



It would be nice if this release includes the film's Italian dub and English subtitles for it.

I hope it gets some new extras. I love this mean spirited little film. As much as I love LAST HOUSE, this one hangs together as a film much more coherently.

Ha! So it does! I bought mine today for £8-99 in HMV.

***SEVERIN BLACK FRIDAY TITLE REVEAL #8***

NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS

THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE

For far too long, this 1974 shocker directed by Aldo Lado (WHO SAW HER DIE?) has been dismissed as a LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT knockoff. Now it can be experienced as a classic “more intense and disturbing than the film that inspired it” (DVD Talk) in UHD for the first time ever: When two young girls taking a train home for the holidays encounter a pair of sadistic thugs, it will trigger a nightmare of sexual brutality and parental revenge. Flavio Bucci (SUSPIRIA), Irene Miracle (INFERNO), Macha Méril (DEEP RED) and Enrico Maria Salerno (THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE) star – with a powerful soundtrack by Ennio Morricone – in this “damn fine film that stands on its own merits” (Screen Anarchy) – also known as LAST STOP ON THE NIGHT TRAIN, THE NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT, SECOND HOUSE ON THE LEFT, DON’T RIDE ON LATE NIGHT TRAINS, LAST HOUSE PART II and XMAS MASSACRE – scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with over 5 hours of Special Features.
