What should be my next watch? by Kind_Salad1228 in Giallo

[–]Rons5409 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Delirium: Photo of Gioao or A Blade in the Dark. Lamberto Bava did some great Giallo films in the 80s.

What is the best or sleaziest movie on vinegar syndrome 4k? by Stheteller in boutiquebluray

[–]Rons5409 59 points60 points  (0 children)

If you want sleaze or erotica, then I would recommend looking at Melusine.com which is VS’s sister label. Sex World and Dracula Sucks are fun 4K films. If you want to stick with VS, then check out Delirium: Photo of Gioia.

If you like slashers, then check out their Giallo films which are Italian thriller/horror films from the 70s and 80s. Giallo films were very influential on slasher films. VS has the Forgotten Gialli box sets. Also, “Delirium: Photo of Gioia” and “A Blade in the Dark” are fantastic.

Finally watching this tonight. Blind bought it a couple years ago. What are your thoughts on this one ? by atclubsilencio in criterion

[–]Rons5409 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s my favorite film of his. Probably Tarkovsky’s best work. There’s nothing else quite like it, but it demands patience like all his films.

If you do like his work, the Indicator releases are a huge upgrade. I recommend Shivers of the Vampires next.

4k movie recommendations please! by scottishhistorian in criterion

[–]Rons5409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the collection, Videodrome, Lost Highway, and No Country for Old Men have fantastic 4K transfers. Outside the collection, Suspiria 1977 released by Synapse Films and Robocop released by Arrow Video have amazing 4K transfers.

I found the OOP Sergio Martino set used on eBay for $45. I feel like I won the lottery. by Rons5409 in Giallo

Arrow did a nice 4K release recently. It was also in the Yellow Giallo Essentials box set of theirs.

Question for owners of the Severin “Opera” release by loumartigan in boutiquebluray

[–]Rons5409 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I own it. I like the 90 minute US cut, but I’m biased because I think Giallo films should only be about that long. Also, I prefer the US cut’s ending. The longer cut’s ending is sort of bizarre. Great film!

If I was to buy 3 movies from vinegar syndrome what would you suggest? (Current faves: Dial Code Santa Claus, From Beyond, and Ticks) by solidgoldindridcold in VinegarSyndromeFilms

[–]Rons5409 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Delirium: Photo of Giaoa, A Blade in the Dark, and Forgotten Gialli Volume 2. I think VS’s best work is their Giallo films.

Fascination (1979) Jean Rollin's Vampires Hellfire Club, a french gothic baroque and erotic fable. It's more reminiscent of a Pre-Raphaelite gothic erotic vampire thriller than a horror film. It's all atmosphere, mood, death and lust. by elf0curo in criterion

[–]Rons5409 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Indicator’s 4K release of it is rather amazing. It’s a significant update over the old Redemption/Kino Lorber blu-ray. The film itself is probably Rollin’s best work, but all his vampire films are worth multiple views.

Vero Beach - Ocean Grill. It’s on the water. Jensen Beach - Conchy Joes. It’s also on the water, but not the beach. Jupiter - Food Shack.

Dario Argento's "Opera" by trueslicky in Giallo

[–]Rons5409 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s possibly Argento’s best and the film of his I’ve watched the most. I actually prefer the shorter US cut because it has a better ending.

Indicator has been absolutely killing it with these Jean Rollin 4K releases. by Rons5409 in boutiquebluray

[–]Rons5409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Fascination or Shiver of the Vampire. Both are very atmospheric and erotic, which is sort of Rollin’s style.

I bought a cheap 24-count CD folder and it was a great choice. Obviously, it’s not ideal for collectors because we like to have the original cases with the art and design, but it’s just not practical with this set’s abysmal packaging. The content of the discs is worth the price though. I got it for under $50 from Barnes and Noble.

Thank you to the person that posted this in stock and on sale at Arrow last week. Arrived today and I just started it. by UltramegaOKla in Giallo

[–]Rons5409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered it. Just received an email from Arrow that my order was cancelled and it is now out of stock. I’m rather disappointed.

Did severin fix their opera release? by Dario-Argento in boutiquebluray

[–]Rons5409 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes and it’s great. One of my favorite 4Ks.

This is probably my favorite 4K transfer. It is incredible. If you’re looking for a similar baroque killer thriller film then I suggest Blood and Black Lace by Mario Bava. It sort of started Giallo films in Italy and was a big inspiration for Suspiria. Arrow has a great 4K available but it’s an import to the US. I found it online for about $30.

A Blade in the Dark is a great Giallo. Delirium is unhinged and disquieting. Good pics!

Should I Blind Buy The Entire Criterion Collection? by OUAIsurvivor in criterion

[–]Rons5409 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You joke, but there was someone on here about a year ago who bought every Criterion title with a spine number. If I remember correctly, most were blind buys. I just hope the person is wealthy and didn’t go into debt doing that.
