88 films are knocking it out of the park this year. They have become my favourite boutique label!
Totally agree Kevin 🤩🤩👍👍 Arrow are great but the films I'm more interested in are getting released by 88 for me 🤩🤩👍👍
I need to get some. I don't own any yet. Those boxes are nice.
Agreed, Arrow and Second Sight have fallen behind 88 this year for sure
I'm a big fan of what 88 are doing at the moment! Especially with Nasties Makaveli 🤩🤩 definitely a company that have Video Nasties at heart mate 😁😁👍👍
You sod, you've just talked me into getting these two. I was determined to wait for the standard slips, but after seeing yours I gave in, I used £30 worth of my 88 points which eased the pain. Great review John. All the best, Glenn.
Sorry Glenn 😬🤩👍 as you can see you are in for a treat with these 2! The quality of the presentation is 👌👌👌 glad you had some points to take the Sting out of them, saying that God knows how much they will end up being on ebay Glenn 🤯🤯🤯🤣🤣👍👍
Beautiful Releases!! 88 films is a Contender for best Boutique Label this year. Cheers John!!
Totally agree Nathan 🤩🤩👍👍 88 and also these releases could be the best this year for me bud, just think they have ticked all the boxes for us collectors on this one Nathan 😁😁👏👏 cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Wow mate, they look awesome.
Hopefully the stock lasts until pay day 😊
Cheers for the closer look JP
No problems Craig! They might be the best presentations of a video nasty as of yet!! The nasty artwork is THE ONLY way to go with films like this bud, hope you get them mate 😁😁👍👍
X2 lovely looking upgrades there matey.. 88films knocking it out the park as always 😎👍
Totally are Marcus 🤩🤩👍👍 88 gave us 2 stunners here mate 🤩🤩👏👏
After a few beers last night, I finally ordered. Blind watch for me. 80 quid is a bit expensive, though compared to arrow and second sight ltd editions. I don't really lose anything if I don't like the films. Value over time will only increase.
Hi Steve, good way of looking at it...if you can't stand these films you can always resell and get your money back, plus some!! I do urge you to give them a re watch each if you don't take to them at first..... I liked Anthro from day one, but after many views I love the film now, I always give a film a few whirls before deciding if it's not for me..... the film I've tried the most is Cristine by John Carpenter, tried it about 5 times over the years and I just cannot get into it 🤯🤯🤯🤣🤣 hopefully you will enjoy them Steve, but tell you what that packaging is UNREAL mate 😱😱😁😁👏👏
I got both editions yesterday! I haven't watched any of them earlier.
Enjoy them Mikael 😁😁👍👍 watched Anthro yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it as always mare 🤩🤩👍👍
These look great. I can't justify the extra £32 over the standard.
Yeah I can totally understand that mate, they are nice but I can understand anyone going for the standard ones Nick 🤩🤩👍👍
Absurd looks way better than the previous Blu-Ray. That had a green tint. Anthrop looks okay, not a huge upgrade.
I agree Paul 🤩👍 the best upgrade is definitely Absurd, it's funny as they have really turned out exactly as I thought, Absurd looking excellent with deep blacks and Anthro looking better colours but very much the lesser of the 2, really happy with both Paul 🤩🤩👍👍
Great video.John.I haven't watched mine yet.I'm thoroughly looking forward to it
I unfortunately was unlucky enough to have internal damage to my anthropothegous case (the lip that holds the poster, the top one was completely missing as if it snapped off and they just didn't think to replace the case) Everything else looked fine, though. I m just hoping that it was strictly a case issue and the disk is completely fine.
My anxiety is just doing a number on me but I'm sure everything's fine, and it's just the case.
Look forward to the deep dive. Because IM absolutely terrible at comparing special features from previous releases.
Cheers Nos 😁😁👍👍 yeah that would have been broken before the thing was assembled, I think that your discs will be fine mate 😁😁👌👌 I'm going to go through everything on the releases I have an hopefully give a detailed one 🤞🤞🤩🤩 can't wait to watch them mate!! Enjoy your viewing Nos 😁😁👍👍
Both of mine arrived yesterday, along with the standard 4k of The House by the Cemetery from Arrow, and I am looking forward to watching them, I can just about remember watching Anthro and Absurd in the early 90's on bootleg VHS tapes I bought from some guy at a car boot sale... never would I have thought that 30 odd years later I would be watching these two on 4k.
I know Paul 😱 still can't believe what is getting the 4k special edition treatment these days mate 🤯🤩 I think you will love the experience of watching them in amazing fashion!! Have you seen them yet mate? Thoughts 🤔🤩 cheers Paul 😁😁👍👍
got my standard copy in the post today, absurd is on the way with a cheeky 4k of rambo 3 for 9.99. Amazing that we can get these films, uncut and in 4k.
I saw the standard version of Anthro today in HMV and it looked really nice Bill 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah those Rambo ones are a steal at 9.99 😁😁👌👌 I know I'm amazed by the cult content on 4k now mate!! Its insane Bill 😱😱😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies yeah it arrived. Absurd is in the post so might get lucky tomorrow. I'd have loved those exclusive ones but just a tad steep for my wallet at the moment.
@BillsOldandNewGaming yeah Bill, wise not too stretch yourself if the funds aren't there mate 🤔🤩🤩👌👌
I've always wanted to see that film but so far never have. Nice unboxing. Cheers.
@Chinwagger2024 can't recommend them highly enough in my personal opinion bud 😁😁👌👌
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Yeah you always seem very happy to get these older movies. Cheers.
I do mate, it has to be said I get a lot more out of them than most modern day blockbusters (which I do watch) but if you look at my videos there isn't really too much talked about new films and special editions of them.... just like this old school stuff! Super entertaining for me 😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies 🙂
@Chinwagger2024 🤩🤩👍👍
I preordered the standard slipcovers on HMV didn't know there were website exclusives
I was going to do the same Mark, really glad I found out about these ones before I did, saying that I might still get the regular ones in a sale..... maybe 🤯🤣👍
Thanks John. After watching this and Rockgod, I've just ordered these two from 88 films, along with Count Dracula. 88 have become a really good label. If you haven't already check out The Flesh And Blood Show, another good box set.
Cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah Nige loved these as well 😁😁 Count Dracula has a beautiful print!! 👌 88 are REALLY excelling themselves at the moment 👏👏 I haven't got the Flesh and Blood show set but it does look amazing!! Cheers bud 🤩🤩👍👍
Excellent releases, Pal! I held off buying them too... Then my car shit its bloody pants and now I'm too skint to pull the trigger on them. I dare say it'll be the standard editions over here.
They are amazing Stu 🤩🤩👍👍 oh wow!! Hate that when it happens 🥴🥴🤬🤬 I think you will enjoy even the standard editions Stu 🤩🤩 thanks for watching mate 😁😁👍👍
Definitely on my list these two editions John. Thankyou for the review and unboxing looking forward to acquiring them👍👍
Honestly Josh, you will live these mate 👌👌👌 top releases from 88 mate 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Please check you e mail John. Need your postal details.
@@MondoChelloveckMovies And just ordered both of them today- directly off 88 films site. Very excited to finally receiving them😊😊Both definitely 2 top video nasty titles.
@joshfulcifan1015 I think you will get a blast out of these ones Josh mate!!! Absolutely amazing set!! The best nasties editions out there? 🤔🤔 very possibly 😁😁👏👏
Dammit John, I was really on the fence about these as they'd be blind buys and they're not cheap. Then you mentioned they're limited to 1,000 copies and FOMO kicked in, so they'll be delivered next week 😂
Sorry Steve 😬🤩🤩👍👍 if it's any consolation, I was the same, these have got too many things going for them so I had to pounce!! 😱🤣🤣👍👍 they are already in ebay from up to £100 so you are wise to get them before they are in the hands of those scalpers 😱😱 I'm sure you will love them mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Great unboxing video John. First video of yours I’ve seen. Subbed to your channel and look forward to hearing your reviews of these two, which I’ve just ordered also! Cheers.
Thanks Adam 🤩🤩👍👍 early impressions are really good on these 2 👌👌 packaging is some of the best ice seen for a Video Nasty 😁😁 will be getting into them in the forthcoming week mate 👍 thanks for subbing Adam, appreciate that 🤩🤩👍👍
Garlic bread isn’t the future - 4K nasties are! 😮. Blind buy for me for these infamous movies and glad I got the limited editions as they are gorgeous 👍🏻👍🏻
👏👏 well said Charlie 😁😁👍👍 these limited editions are some of the best I've seen mate 🤩🤩👌👌
Glad you picked up the webstore ones, I think 88 films did a great job on these. I got the same versions so I'm very happy.
Cheers Dalek 😁😁👍👍 yeah more than happy mate 🤩🤩👌👌 love what 88 have done with these 2......hopefully the response to these was that good they will do more Original art Video Nasties!! 🤞🤞 I'm all about that Dalek 🤩🤩 thanks for watching mate 😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies yup hope they do more, some of my favorite relases this year. will be watching more of your vids keep up the good work
@DalekAd24 thanks Dalek 😁😁👍👍 yeah they can't just do these ones and leave it at that 😵💫 but I'm hoping they don't redo their recent 4ks like this as that would be a bit of a cash grab!! Plenty more new Nasties they could go for 🤞🤞😁😁😁👍👍👍
My copies arrived today and the cost of them faded into insignificance once they were in my hands. Almost feels like you’re holding the pre-certs!
Great point there mate!!!! It does have that ultimate retro feel about them 🤔🤩🤩👍👍
Like you it was last minute decision to grab these versions. Looking at yours and others videos I’m glad I went with them, hope your well John 🙌🏻
I'm really glad I chatted with Craig about them as they are editions I would have been GUTTED if I never picked them up after seeing them on pictures and videos now 🤯🤯 doing good Paul cheers bud, hope you are all good too 🤩🤩👍👍
Nice pick ups John & have a great a great weekend.
Thanks Mark 🤩🤩 you too mate 😁😁👌👌
Have yourself a great weekend mate.
Thank you John.
Thank you Cheekster 🤩🤩👍👍 you too buddy 🤩🤩👌👌
@@MondoChelloveckMovies 🤝
@cheekster777 😁😁👍👍
Excellent looking editions John ,ive only recently got my first section 1 video nasty The Burning 4k,loved it,did a review...these look enticing 😊
They are stunning for me Marty 🤩🤩👍👍 I hope more nasties come out in thus fashion mate 🤞🤞😁😁 The Burning is such a great film and the 4k is meant to be one of the best out there!!! They are selling out fast apparently Marty 😵💫🤩🤩👍👍
@MondoChelloveckMovies The Burning 4k is an amazing transfer John,highly recommended 👌
@MadMartysMovieReviews-gv6hk excellent!! Everyone says the same Marty 🤔😁😁👌👌
Class john
@scoob40haha yeah lovely releases Scoob 😁😁👏👏
I've just ordered the 4k of uncut gems criterion edition, have you seen it and if you have, what's your opinion?
@scoob40haha I haven't seen it Scoob, but I've heard a lot if people speaking very highly of it Scoob!! 👍👍 let me know what you make of it whenever you watch it mate 🤩🤩👍👍
I thought these were a little bit over priced for what you get but thankfully I had a bunch of points saved up so I didn't pay all that much in the end.
Good to hear Gary 😁😁👍👍 yeah they aren't cheap but I'm happy I'm not paying scalper prices mate 🤯😁😁👍👍 cheers bud 😁😁👍👍
Great unboxing John, they look amazing. Ive just picked up the Pete Walker boxset so unfortunately I can't afford these aswell so I'll have to stick to my blurays for now. The Walker set is amazing by the way, well worth picking up. 😀
Cheers Richard 🤩🤩👍👍 I like the look of that Pete Walker set mate, I'm the other way around, because I got these I'm missing other stuff!! I think all collectors should win the lottery!! It's not fair Richard 😬😬🤯🤯🤣🤣 the blu rays to be fair are still pretty decent 🤩🤩👍👍
Severin are having a sale 50% off starts tomorrow 4k
Thanks for the heads up Edward! Definitely taking a look at that mate 😁😁👍👍
No probs 👌
@edwardmccready9288 😁😁👍👍
Hey John, those are some sweet looking editions there, very nice indeed. 88 Films is really upping their game hence why they're in my Top Ten of Boutique labels. While I have no interest in Anthropophagous (probably the longest single word film title I've seen), I'm sort of intrigued by Absurd as it sounds more like a detective style mystery since it's about two guys looking to stop a maniac killer. Luigi Montefiori aka George Eastman had quite the unique and varied career: actor, stuntman, Horror Legend, and writer, an interesting fellow to the say the least. The hard-shell outer cases are the way to go, so cool so many companies are picking up that type of packaging. Take care my friend, hope you and the Debs are well, and speak to you soon.
Hey Nash 🤩🤩👍👍 Anthro (I shorten it as it is a mouthful Nash 🤯🤯🤣🤣) yeah George Eastman is kind of everywhere!! You don't notice him until you know him and you're...... hang on!! There he is again 😱😁 I agree that the ultimate special edition of single films should be encased in these hard boxes! The more of these releases the better for me Nash, as for the 2 movies Absurd is the most accessible, although for me I can't get enough of Anthro!! Don't know why exactly but I LOVE that film mate!! Maybe if you could check it out online somewhere to see if you like it? Cheers Nash, we are good here and hope you well too mate 😁😁👍👍
Nice video John, on the subject of horror movies are we ever going to get a Hammer Horror 4K ? .
Cheers Ralph 🤩🤩👍👍 I was thinking about this the other day, with Video Nasties now getting 4ks and other really obscure low budget Horror getting the 4k treatment then it seems inevitable that someone with turn to Hammer Horror.....however I remember when the Hammer stuff came out on Blu Ray, there was a big promise from Studio Canal that they were going to release them all but they didn't get there due to rights issues, so do Studio Canal own the rights to the ones they released before? I would love to see them in 4k as they would look amazing on 4k!!!!! But they need new masters as they are pretty old now!! So are they in limbo? 🤔 so yeah Ralph, I think it's down to sorting out who owns what before they get a 4k unfortunately! Fingers crossed it happens soon mate 🤞🤞🤩🤩👍👍👍
Just got these two in myself yesterday. Love the VHS artwork and rigid case, my only slight disappointment is they aren’t individually numbered out of 1000. My first time watching Antropophagus, and not sure why this made the prosecuted video nasty list. I guess for THAT scene, but honestly outside of that it really wasn’t too bad, even by 80s standards. Watching Absurd for the first time now.
The packaging on these 2 is some of the best I've seen Captain 🤩🤩👌👌 Hope more come out like this 🤞🤞🤩🤩 I did think you would get some for of numbering for them as well 🥴 I think they honestly thought THAT scene was real????? As if!! Shows you what kind of numbties was in charge of the banning of these movies!! 🤯🤯🤣 Absurd is much more graphic for sure!! Cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Got the 2 coming my self john
They are excellent George, you will live them mate 🤩🤩👍👍
@MondoChelloveckMovies I've not ot got absurd until the 15 got the other one coming on money
@georgecondie6331 excellent George you enjoy them mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Thats something to investigate, so what's your thought of the new VHS release of Suspiria. HMV has a rrp of 31 Kings Heads.
Great releases but selling out fast apparently 🤔🥴👍 I don't think I'll go for a new VHS release of a film myself mare as I prefer originals if I could find them 😁👍 so £31 for Suspiria VHS? WOW!! yeah couldn't go there bud! You getting one? Cheers for watching 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies I'll just wait for the Betamax version.
@ronsonroll 🤩🤩👍👍
Just heard your Track for Euphoria Keiths channel sounds great 💯 Art on the 88s look great 👍 are you looking forward to MaxXxine reviews are positive?
Thanks Andy, yeah recorded that a while back in case Keith got into any problems with the audio 🤯 honestly that's the worst part about RUclips and how it goes crazy on copyrights 🤬🤬 I think using clips of songs can promote the music and lead to sales for the artist in my opinion 👍👍 these are stunning releases!! I saw Maxxxine yesterday, and really enjoyed it 🤩🤩👍👍 although I do think that X and definitely Pearl are better films Andy 🤔🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies OK mate thanks for the review 👍👍💯 COME ON ENGLAND hope we win tonight
I do love it when booty labels release the old style VHS covers of video nasties.
However, I can't bring myself to pay £40+ two films that in my opinion are really mediocre. The beast is an absolute borefest.
Absurd, I was rooting for the killer to murder that super annoying child.
What is it with Italian movies and children that the audience would be quite happy for them to be brutally murdered?
House by the cemetery, nightmare in a damaged brain, this film, the list goes on.
I will be super happy to support any horror films that boutique labels use the old school VHS artwork, unfortunately I will be just getting the basic 4K of those two films just for completion sake.
I could not stand that kid in House By The Cemetery. I found the English dub unwatchable with that kids voice (I think it was a woman who actually dubbed him). But got a hold of the Arrow BR when it came out that included the Italian dub. Far, far better. At least I enjoy watching it now.
Fair point Flyod 🤔🤩 they are expensive releases and not for everyone, I wasn't going to pick them up for the reason, I have a lot of time for Anthro especially mate, I was told a few times it's one of the most boring nasties out there but for some reason I can't get enough of it!! Horses for courses I suppose bud 🤔👍 I hope we see more of these original nasty artwork releases Floyd 🤞🤞👍👍 cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
@stephenlee4820 🤣🤣 yeah they love to put in a kid you would love to hate into their movies!! 😱😱 I've have a brief chat on Facebook a long time ago with the original "Bob" from House by the Cemetery and he was really mortified by his dubbing when he saw the film as an adult, he apologised for the crazy dubbing 😁😁 good that the Italian dubbing takes that away, for me the word Bob used a million times is pretty much the downside of thus classic even though I love the film 🤔🤩 cheers for watching Stephen 😁😁👍👍
Hi John . Lovely releases, got mine a couple of days ago. Pity bout the awful graham Humphrey’s art work on both blu rays 🤦♂️. My absurd 4K disc is faulty , when I play the English ex cut I can’t get beyond the first 3-7 mins without it constantly pausing / sticking🤦♂️. I’ve tried numerous times now and give up, though the disc looks mint.and the picture is stunning .All my other discs play fine so it isn’t my player🤷♂️. Anyone else got this prob?. I’ve just emailed 88 about my problem.
@waynejohnson6149 I'm still to get to mine Wayne, thanks for the heads up I'll definitely mention it if it becomes a problem on all the discs 😵💫😵💫 hopefully not and also hope you get a replacement Wayne 🤞😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies cheers John 👍. Just popped absurd disc 2 on the blu ray and it’s playing great🤷♂️. The 4K is obviously faulty, al await 88s reply 🙄.
I heard from Nige that his disc plays well for Absurd so I'm hoping that it was just a bad disc that you got Wayne 🤞🤞 hopefully you'll get a replacement soon mate 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies yea I msg nige too and he told me his disc played fine John . I’m still awaiting a reply back from 88.
Are these both 30 quid each mate u did well getting them early .
Got mine last week and absurd this week
These are £45 each Paul 😱😱 but.... and it's a small but, if you order them both you save £10, and it's free p&p so that lessens the blow... a bit 🤔🥴🤩🤩 these have seemed to be out early you're right Paul 😁😁👍👍
