Machete was great on blu ray. I got Day of the Dead on blu ray a couple weeks ago. Need to take more advantage of having a blu ray player and this tv.

I really hope Barry Lyndon gets a decent release on Blu-Ray soon. Such an underrated Kubrick film and definitely deserving on the upgrade in picture quality BR would give it.

Oh, it is.....

Excellent. Hopefully the transfer is handled well. For a film shot only using natural light I can imagine it's one of the harder films to transfer over.

I think this is a still from the HD transfer but I could be wrong

Also I highly reccomend this if your into awesome/funny/ridiculous horror movies.

Getting that criterion for sure. Saw that in sf on a big screen. Best $5 I ever spent.

Thats awesome. I wish I could have seen it in a theater. Criterion blurays are all pretty incredible.

not sure if anyone mentions but LEGEND.

"Universal is scheduled to release a Blu-ray version of the "Ultimate Edition" on May 31, 2011, which is scheduled to carry over all the content from the DVD, including the Jerry Goldsmith-scored "Director's Cut" and the Tangerine Dream-scored theatrical version."

/imsuperfuckinggay

I hope they worked hard on the picture transfer

for an older movie it still has amazing scenes. the dude who did the special effects on the thing worked with Scott on it, for 1985 it ruled lol

Oh I know I love the movie, im just hoping they don't get lazy and just use the same dvd transfer. I want to see a really well done HD transfer/remastering for a movie like that. Since they aren't adding anything extra and just using the dvd features, im a little worried.

yeah i see what you are saying, that will be pretty lame

agreed

samesies

i concur imho

fuck, just picked thse up....the transfers on inferno, new york ripper, and the thing are amazing. the rest are top notch as hell. still need to check out what deep red looks like.

Fulci's 'Zombie' Coming to Blu-ray from Blue Underground Late 2011
9 March 2011



by Marc Patterson

I don't hide the fact that outside of running this fine establishment of gory goodness I work a day job in marketing. I am the consummate traveling professional, scouring the east coast from meeting to meeting in a suit and tie. (You'd laugh in stifled horror to see it). What gets me through those trips is a steady stream of awesome mind-blowing horror podcasts. My all time favorite is none other than the original innovators of horror talk radio, the ballers and shot callers - Deadpit Radio! (dot com!). And I'll never, NEVER miss an episode when Michael "Slipcase" Felsher guests. Felsher is not only a horror geek of true esteem, but he has worked on the DVD release side of the business with terrific companies like Synapse, Anchor Bay, Lionsgate, and Blue Underground. Felsher shoots footage for the extras that come packed on these films, and has even designed some of the artwork seen on the DVD's, most recently having done the artwork for Blue Underground's upcoming Blu release of Dario Argento's Deep Red.

On the February 18th Deadpit show Felsher had some interesting news on Blue Underground's plans to finally give Lucio Fulci's Zombie (or Zombi 2 as it's more popularly known) a proper Blu-ray release. Now we've all seen (or maybe we haven't) the Wikipedia page that says William Lustig plans on releasing the film in 2011, but Felsher discloses some additional info that's worth reporting on!

"Bill [Lustig] has made it a point he wants this one to be a big deal. Zombie's going to be a big release. He's going to be doing a whole new transfer in HD from the negative. This is going to blow away any previous edition of Zombie that's ever been out there."

Felsher also comments on some of the extra's we might expect. He was recently at the Cinema Wasteland Expo, where we was able to get together with about four of the cast members to shoot some additional footage.

"The stuff we shot at Cinema Wasteland was just fantastic. It's going to be in 2.35.1 widescreen just like the movie and we shot it all in a really cool way. It's going to be very different than a lot of the stuff I've done. I'm really looking forward to Zombie coming out."

In terms of when we can expect this release? "I think Bill's plan, and I can't speak 100%, but I think Bill's plan was to definitely have that out for Halloween this year. But again, plans can change and I'm not making the official announcement. That's just what the plan is right now. I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more official announcements from them as we get closer to it. This is going to be a big, big special edition."
