Thanks Dan! I've never actually seen Christine, but I've heard great things, so I'm looking forward to finally checking it out. :)

I also ordered both Christine and Body Double through HMV not too long ago (I think it was you that made me aware of the deal), but I had to cancel them unfortunately due to needing the money, then not too long after that HDN hosted the giveaway, so I thought I'd try my luck with that and luckily I won! :D

I'll definitely pick up Body Double at some point, and I'm also interested in checking out some of their upcoming releases too, so I've asked Santa for them. :p

Just a heads up, three new titles are released by Indicator just yesterday!

Video: "Overall, this is a cracking transfer."
Audio: "The feature is very much a dialogue driven affair, with only the occasional background environmental sound effect. Dialogue is crystal clear throughout, and is well-balanced."

Video: "The encode is excellent with no instances of compression problems, with compressionist David Mackenzie once again living up to his extremely high reputation. "
Audio: "This is a dialogue driven film for the most part. There are no causes for complaint with this track. I noticed no signs of scratches, drop outs, pops, or background hiss."

Video: "This is an all-round excellent transfer, and I'd be extremely surprised if it could be bettered on the format."

February releases are also live to pre-order at Amazon

The Anderson Tapes https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MQTSI74/?tag=hidefnin-21
Bunny Lake Is Missing https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N0OKEOB/?tag=hidefnin-21

And HERE's an interview with Powerhouse Films founder and director John Morrissey
"All I can say is that we've over 80 films lined up, and that fans of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer will have a great deal to look forward to..."

"There's not one particular title that I'm more passionate about than any of the others, but we are looking forward to working on the Ray Harryhausen package, along with the Harryhausen Trust. We have five of his remarkable films; I think we are going to have something really special to show his fans. We also have a great raft of Hammer Films, some extremely rare."


I'm SUPER excited for both Harryhausen and Hammer. Two filmographies I always desperate looking for :drool:

Vampires and Ghosts of Mars just appeared up for pre-order on HMV at £14.99 each. I'm hoping they will go into the 2 for £25 when they're released.

Really liking this label, already picked up Body Double, Christine and Happy Birthday to Me

I watched Christine, Body Double and 10 Rillington Place in the last days and all look amazing. Really great editions!

I don't understand Amazon. All previous releases where 12,99 at some point. But all Januar releases (Vampires, Ghost of Mars and The New Centurions) are still 22,56 GBP.
And for Febraury only "The Last Detail" is at 12,99. The other ones (Bunny Lake is missing & The Anderson Tape) are also still 22,56 GBP. And at Indicator's own shop they're all 15,99 GBP.

If that don't change I may need to ask for your help again :shy:

001 - Christine, 002 - Body Double and 005 - 10 Rillington Place are nearly sold out.
Great achievement for Indicator! Notable to mention that these three are limited to 5000, 003 and 004 are just 3000.
At the beginning it was said that Standard single format editions will follow up once the Dual Format Edition is sold out. Without booklets. Don't know how they'll will follow up with this.

Yup great new label we have going here. Watched Christine and Body Double last week. I hadn't seen Christine in many years, was surprised how much fun I had with it even if it toe's the line just a bit when it comes to King's style. Would have been wild for them to have given Carpenter more free reign, but no matter it was a really fun ride and that scene with Christine on fire was superb. Just imagine them doing that with CG these days. :yuck:

I love that they went all in with two less revered Carpenter titles too in Vampires and Ghosts of Mars. They may not be his best but even low tier Carpenter is way more watchable than a whole bunch of other guys at the top of their game. :cool:

03, 04 and 05 are on my list to pick up at the end of the month. Have never seen 10 Rillington Place before. At this rate I'll end up buying them all! :rofl:

This is stupid:
The Guardian interview with John Carpenter PART 1 is a supplement on VAMPIRES.
The Guardian interview with John Carpenter PART 2 is a supplement on GHOSTS OF MARS.
????
VAMPIRES is a great film (will buy), GOM is crap (will not buy). So I will only get 1/2 of an interview?!!
Stupid.
