Well, this might be the first Code Red title I will pick if Bill lets me!

Posted: **Mon Dec 26, 2016 11:30 pm**

I kinda want to buy that because it sounds amazing, but shouldn't I know better?

Posted: **Tue Dec 27, 2016 12:29 am**

Isn't this with Blue Underground?

Posted: **Tue Dec 27, 2016 12:47 am**

Scorpion Releasing had that update. It might be one of those titles distributed by Kino Lorber.

Posted: **Tue Dec 27, 2016 1:15 am**

Yes, according to Blu-ray.com, this is coming from Kino/Scorpion, not Code Red.

Posted: **Tue Dec 27, 2016 2:56 am**

No, it is a Code Red title. Scorpion/Walt Olsen is producing the disc for Code Red.

Posted: **Tue Dec 27, 2016 8:31 pm**

It can still be distributed by Kino Lorber due to popularity of this title, like they did for Pit Stop blu or a number of DVDs, (Roger Corman's Post Nuke Collection discs being released in January).

Posted: **Tue Dec 27, 2016 10:09 pm**

It'd be fantastic if Arrow could release their own edition of Opera, in the states no less, and we could get a repeat of the Pit Stop debacle.

Bill Olsen announced on Facebook that they will be releasing Fulci's The Psychic on Blu-ray sometime this year.

An update on the two Michele Soavi titles. They recently recorded an interview with Asia Argento for The Church and here are the cover and specs for The Sect(they are aiming for a May release for this one.):

Here is our custom cover art for Michel Soavi's THE SECT. done by artist Wes Benscoter.

The special features on the disc will be

New 2k scan with extensive color correction.

English and Italian track with english subtitles

New exclusive interview with the maestro himself, Dario Argento

Interviews with Michele Soavi, screenwriter Gianni Romoli, actor Giovanni Lombardo Radice, composer Pino Donaggio, set designer Massimo Antonello Geleng, director of photography Raffaele Mertes and film historian Fabrizio Spurio

Reversible sleeve

the first 2000 units will have a slip sleeve

Posted: **Thu Mar 02, 2017 3:31 pm**

Finally! Thanks for the heads up.
Hopefully those specs live up to their own hype (always interesting to finally see films such as these with their Italian soundtrack) - it's been tough watching those Shameless editions quickly become less available with no substantial news from Code Red (until now).
Really looking forward to their Argento, Fulci & Soavi releases

Great post from Bill!

SASQUATCH / ENCOUNTERS WITH THE UNKNOWN BD-50! limited edition Blu

Hi CODE RED

I bought this and the quality of these prints is so sub-par I returned it. Especially ENCOUNTERS WITH THE UNKNOWN that was unwatchable.
I didn’t expect any blu-ray to look like a bootleg. Not remastered maybe, for some of these older movies, but still over 90%.
I thought I could trust CODE RED.
I guessed after that PRESENTED IN TRUE GRINDHOUSE FASHION meant crap pic.

I just don’t think you should do discs like this. Two movies don’t make up for it.
But if you did want to lower quality to such dubious standards, be clear about it by describing the pic quality. Such as:.
Bootleg quality. VHS quality.
Colors in second feature almost unrecongizable; nature unidentical.
Stuff like that.

- Unimpressed, or depressed, customer ☻

Okay, the Wikipedia link made me laugh

Posted: **Sat Mar 25, 2017 3:05 am**

There are a couple of Blu-Rays from Code Red up for pre-order on Amazon. It's truly a different world.
Last Plane Out & The Funny Farm.

UPDATE: and then I found this post. Looks like Walter Olsen wasn't kidding when he suggested Code Red were widening their distribution. Now if only the same titles could be released through all of the same etailers.

Posted: **Tue Mar 28, 2017 6:42 pm**

You say that like you think Code Red could ever have a better distribution model than Bill procrastinating indefinitely on shipping out orders personally because there's a dead rat in his storage shed.

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 5:46 am**

Well, when you put it like that...

Posted: **Fri Apr 07, 2017 1:43 am**

Code Red is going to release Fulci's City of the Living Dead (which is currently available on Blu from Blue Underground) with a new 2K scan of the original negative under the alternate title The Gates of Hell

Posted: **Fri Apr 07, 2017 7:33 am**

Blue Underground are really shedding their back catalogue!

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:30 am**

He just started bad mouthing Kim Newman in his stickied thread on Blu-ray.com, seemingly unaware of anything about him other than that Arrow has employed him. He also thought The Hysteria Continues were providing MST3K-style joke commentaries

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 5:42 am**

I love Bill's dedication never to know what he's talking about.

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 4:36 pm**

He doubled-down on the ignorant rhetoric, too! That thread's scarier than anything the label's ever released. Can anyone reading this who has any kind of working or personal relationship with Kim Newman please advise him to not accept any offers from this label

Posted: **Mon Apr 24, 2017 12:05 am**

Dear LORD the ignorant sycophants in that thread, bragging about how above academic extras they are... water truly finds its own level

EDIT: And I'm sure Newman is thrilled his quoted price was immediately shared in that thread

Fotokem said CODE RED BRING LOST MOVIES in SMELLY GOLDBERG container. all other label bring clean negatives. Many other label only touch negatives. Gourmet critic Gary Tooze will piss on any of my release, but kiss ass to negatives sucking labels (especially overseas label ones). well, not everything comes in clean neat basket. I am killing myself. Geez
