Thanks. That's the full list I assume? Only Battle Royale interests me and I have that.

Zavvi are owned by The Hut (www.thehut.com), you'd be better off getting them from the sources. Unsurprisingly, prices are the same there.

Arrow should be an awesome label if you're a horror fan, but their output is very inconsistant in terms of quality. More often than not a US (or European) counterpart is the better option. Battle Royale is OK, but their Argento discs leave a lot to be desired.

Their BD of Tenebrae is awful, although to be fair that is mainly down to the people in Italy making these HD masters. You might say, 'well Arrow should decline the masters', but other companies such as Blue Underground, BFI, and even Criterion are using them.

I returned Tenebrae. The 'original' mono audio is also a downmix.

Their Demons and Demons 2 BDs are excellent. I've got them here. Thankfully I didn't pay for them, rotten movies.

De Palma's Obsession is a good movie and well worth £8.95.Arrow did a good job there.

Are they?! Fuck, I've always wasted loads of money ordering everything separately from them.

I'd pay $19.99 for Dazed and Confused. But postage on top? Nope.

Are you aware one of the films is framed incorrectly? This applies to the UK BD as well.
