    All they said was '1/29 - WHITE ZOMBIE: REMASTERED EDITION (1932, Victor Halperin, DVD & Blu-ray)' - no mention of extras or anything yet but this is definitely good news...

    If Kino had something really special like an OCN or a restoration they'd have announced it by now.

    That having been said, I can't wait to see what they've come up with.

        Looks good. This is a nifty early horror film.

          It boasts "HD RESTORATION FROM ARCHIVAL 35MM FILM ELEMENTS".

          This is completely absolutely totally BOUGHT.

              It's a shame that the 'restored' version is such a completely slathered, waxy mess of a transfer.

                  VCI now has a Blu-ray of this title in the works.

                  Wealthy Plantation owner Charles Beaumont (Robert Frazer) turns to Voodoo Master Murder Legendre (Bela Lugosi) to lure the woman he loves Madeline Short (Madge Bellamy) away from her fiancé Neil Parker (John Harron), by turning her into zombie. Murders intentions are to keep Madeline for himself. Neil seeks out Murder Legendre to break the Zombie spell and return Madeline to the world of the living.

                      Looks like the VCI version might be the way to go.
