HD Alert!


As I wrote at BY THE GODS!, I purchased several Blu-rays/DVD from Amazon.de early last month and I have been waiting for the stuff to arrive. It says it should arrive by November 6! Nearly one month after I purchased them. Really disappointed by this.


There are no titles in this batch for Halloween...well, HERCULES AGAINST THE BARBARIANS has some horror elements to it. This means I'll be watching two movies by Mario Bava: HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD (1961; above with George Ardisson) and THE WHIP AND THE BODY (1963), starring Christopher Lee and Dallah Lavi, which is one of my favourite Bava productions. The HD transfer is nice but this dark movie is really dark in HD.

Do any of the German Blu-rays have English options?

CAESAR THE CONQUEROR, SAMSON AND THE 7 MIRACLES... and LAND OF MONSTERS (not shown) have English tracks (according to the info on the back cover). I'll have a full rundown soon
