Thanks Clive, I think you will be more than satisfied with this version of Tenebrae mate 🤩🤩👍👍thanks for these kind words Clive and 😁😁 I was taking about that same thing with the channel Rockgod2004 about the aitch/Haitch thing 🤩🤩🤩👌👌 cheers mate 👍👍
Cheers Bryan 😁👍 yeah really amazing posters! The soundtrack is awesome too, totally agree there mate 🤩🤩👌👌 I think Deep Red is mine but the theme tune to Tenebrae is one of the best songs ever!! Cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
This might be my favourite of the Argento 4Ks that Arrow have released! I have my Tenebrae poster up right now and it's gorgeous! I have to agree that there's definitely some overlap with the previous 4K remastered releases in terms of the essays in the booklet and the artcards but Tenebrae seems to be the one where they definitely focused on new extras like documentaries and the alternate 'Unsane' cut which is brilliant! Great video, mate, I really wish I picked up the 'Creepers' version of Phenomena, I ended up going for the Arte Original version for all of them.
Cheers Leon, Tenebrae is definitely a first for not being a duplicate like the other Argento movies sadly, hoping they will do a few more 🤞 as soon as I saw that Creepers version I had to snag it, it was like buying the VHS all over again 🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌
Cheers mate, been a fan of these movies for many years and have owned them on many versions but I think these are the pinnacle of those titles mate 😁😁👍👍
My Favourite is INFERNO i really hope ARROW remaster it in 4k. The nightmare dreamy atmosphere makes you become hypnotised. The visuals and colours would look amazing on 4k. also his other films Opera, Mother of Tears, and The Church....desperately need 4k.
I would love to see Arrow remaster Inferno as well mate! 🤩🤩👌👌 but I'm hearing that there might be a rights issue with the current owners (Fox) and it might make it a bit difficult to get the rights to! 😵💫😵💫 Hope I'm wrong 🤞🤞 The Church has got a 4k from the US by Severin I believe 🤔🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies have u seen on ebay what the Church 4k disk is going for ....ridiculous $100. These cult films are definitely worth collecting each and every one considering how limited the supply.
great review...got Tenebrae on Tuesday there...a day late,cos i wasn't in when postman delivered...not the art originale version...got the other version so all my Argento covers match...Suspiria is my favourite Argento...remember it on vhs from all those years ago...agree,Inferno 4k is much sought after.
Cheers Rab 🤩👍 actually funnily enough you should mention the covers matching, I didn't realise they did until Keith from Euphoria Pictures mentioned it to me but I can understand why you would want to have those ones matching! Rab they do match up well 🤩🤩👍👍yeah Suspiria is awesome 👌
Tenebre looks nice. I've struggled with my decision to buy it or not. Nowadays I just can't justify the high price tag when comparing it to the fact, that I could purchase 3 standard edition blu rays for that one collectors/Limited Edition. I used to collect Limited editions etc in the past and I own a lot of them but within the last year I've just wanted to collect more movies that I want to own over special editions. Those pickups are fantastic though. Nice collection 👌
Thanks Sloth 😊👍👍 I can understand that these editions are quite expensive 😳 I tend to have a cut off around this level of pricing and rarely go over it, for the same reason to get more items for the money! Some editions are insanely expensive and I can't justify that at all....I REALLY have to want it for that price 😵💫😵💫😊😊 cheers for watching mate 🤩👍
Nice Argento collection John. As we've said before, who'd have thought these films would get such a treatment. I got mine yesterday and quickly got an unboxing up on my channel like the Robocop one. I don't do them as well as you and most other channel, I just wanted to be one of the first 😆 I thought you might have gone for the single colour edition to match your Bird With The Crystal Plumage, Deep Red and so on. Yes it's definitely good this wasn't released as a 4K remastered Blu-ray. Maybe Arrow have finally decided they can just do dual format BD/UHD like this. 🤞 You said the first release of Tenebrae looked like a fine netting was covering it. Was it DVD? This was a strange thing that happened to quite a few DVDs. Not sure what caused it in the authoring process. Thankfully the window box edition has a nice picture. Of course now we have this 4K. Nice one John Trev
Cheers Trev, yeah back in the day there was no way I'd have ever thought I'd be looking at these versions!! 🤯🤯😁 hopefully they will be doing more first time 4ks like Tenebrae and stop the redness releasing 🤞🤞🤩 the netting picture was on the white box blu Ray, it wasn't on every frame but you could see it in the movie and it was quire distracting at times Trev 🥴🥴 this 4k is the zenith for me 😁😁😁 cheers Trev 🤩🤩👍👍
Sounds great - can't wait for mine to arrive. I'm particularly interested to see what the extended cut contains, and whether it's anything of substance to the film, or just superfluous footage. We need Inferno next!
Hope you have received yours by now Ness 🤩🤩👌👌 I think the extended cut is the original one, so the one that isn't seem much is the shorter version, I'm interested in what they have left out of that one, I watched the original one the other day and looks amazing Ness 🤩🤩👌👌 totally agree about Inferno Ness 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Turned out there was a payment issue with my card, haha, but it's solved now, so should receive it imminently - can't wait! Glad it looks amazing on 4K! Ah, so it's a shorter version - like what they did with the Creepers version of Phenomena perhaps, interesting.
Glad to hear that's sorted for you Ness 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah im guessing that its a kind of Creeper cut, might be aimed for the U.S audience 🤔 im interested to see what 10 mins they will take out? 🤔😊👍
Been looking forward to this one and glad to hear the transfer is amazing and the package overall again looks incredible. I have not ordered mine yet but may do so in the next few days and I will also go for the Arte edition (as I did with all the previous 4k editions). I don't feel as annoyed buying this one given my Tenebrae release is quite old but the other ones were bit tougher to double dip given the nice 4k Blu rays only came out very recently and the package and features etc is essentially the same. So I guess I am using thr extra res and HDR especially plus the new Arte artwork as my upgrade excuses. To be fair the HDR did make a big difference but I've decided to hold onto the Blu ray sets also. I don't usually do that but for these ones I will. I also like to keep the shrink wrap on lol. I've noticed on many of the channels like yourss doing boutique and niche films on physical media that hardly anyone seems to do that and I was wondering if I was the only one! It seems the easiest way to protect them is possible as finding different shapes storage solutions for these discs isn't that easy....
Hi Darren, yeah I totally agree with you on not feeling that bad with getting Tenebrae, it's my only version (and hopefully the only one I'll ever need) so that's great, I've kept all of my old blu ray specials for Argento as well 👍👍I started doing the shrink wrap thing about couple of years ago 🤔 yeah it might not last forever Darren but as you say it's a great way to keep the package just a little bit better for longer and it's kind of the ultimate fit isn't it 🤔👍 cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Good review, John. Another solid Arrow release. I find in the booklets the reviews can be hit or miss as they come across as a bit pretentious. Will look to pick this up soon.
Cheers Nick, I agree with the booklets seem to a bit like that I only want to facts about the movie not a kind of lecture but yeah hit and miss is a good way to put it mate 🤩🤩👍👍
It's a shame when your just a few months behind the releases of these special editions Allan, and then you have to go to the inevitable scalpers 🤬 yeah I try to get them all on pre orders as in the end you save some money, but when you are complete you will have probably the definitive versions and hopefully never need to get them again Allan, cheers for commenting 😁😁👍👍
Mine also came with dr who 2050 ad invasion earth special edition and the steelbook double dip. Also red Sonja 4k steelbook. And dr strange multi verse of madness steelbook zavvi special edition
"His last great giallo" - good shout and hard to argue with that but personally I have to disagree, John. Opera (1987), I think, is up there amongst his best work too. I have a soft spot for The Card Player (2004) too. I know it's not great but I certainly enjoy it.
Yeah Opera is a great movie for sure and would love to see it in 4k, I'll agree with you on that one RK although I think Tenebrae feels more akin to his earlier stuff, Opera seems to be more like his later movies, speaking of which I thought The Card Player was better than people were saying 🤔 cheers for watching RK 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies The Card Player was very entertaining. Howbeit, it lacked the finesse and artistic flair that was so prominent in his previous work. Problem being, that flair and finesse is what drew all of us fans to his work. I think that's the dilemma with the Card Player. Thus the disdain for it. Argento's classic flair is what made me such an avid fan of his. But when you judge the Card Player for what it is (and not what it's NOT) you can garner a lot from it. I'm glad to see that you feel it's not as bad as its reputation would lead you to believe.
Oh man!! Yeah I've slept on stuff a couple of times and really regretted it Dan 😱😱 I have to pounce straight away even if I have to beg and borrow off The Debs mate 🥴🤣🤣👍👍 doing fine buddy thanks Dan 🤩🤩👌👌
Well John, I have Tenebr Arte Original on it's way to me as I speak, pre-ordered it directly from Arrow back in may. Have all the rest you've shown too, and just had to double dip with Phenomena (Creepers and Phenomena Arte). Let me know what the transfer is like on Tenebre buddy👍👍
Hey Josh, the transfer is spectacular on Tenebrae mate!! I watched it the other night (the 101min version) it's the best its ever looked!! The colours are stunning mate!!! 😁😁😁 that Creepers set is my favourite Josh 🤩🤩👍👍 really hope Arrow do some more mate 🤞🤞😁😁😁
Nice set. I ordered the non arrow exclusive one but i do think I like the exclusive one better. My fave Argento movie. Mine is arriving Monday. Hope we get Inferno soon.
Cheers Mike, I thought I would go for this cover as I could see it selling out quicker than the rest, lovely look to it, I do think all the covers for Tenebrae are great and I haven't watched this for quite a while now, so I can't wait 🤩🤩 yeah Inferno is one that I can see coming out soon mate 🤞🤞🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Obviously I'd love Suspira and especially Opera but they are out on other labels so doubt arrow will get those. Nice thought though
That's a nice looking set, and a impressive collection of Argento movies you've got John. I've only seen Suspiria and Tenebrae on VHS and I really liked them both. I should try and get or see some of his other movies too. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I'm really liking this release mate 🤩👍 so glad to have these Argento classics on these editions 👌👌 I rate all of these movies highly and think you will be impressed if you check them out 👍👍 especially Deep Red 👌👌🤩🤩 thanks for watching mate 😁😁
I love the Kim wilde track used in the unsane print, it's also used on the Japanese "shadow* release. Sadly I've been hearing on several forums that arrow messed up again and this release has some issues so I'm guessing they'll be doing a disc replacement in the near future
Oh dear 😵💫 the only good thing about ordering from Arrow is that they send you the replacement disc out bur still, you think they would have learned by now 🤯🤯 the Kim Wilde e.p is included on the "Unsane" disc as an extra, I watched the original cut last night and it played very well, must be on the other discs 🥴 cheers for the info mate 😁😁👍👍
Got mine today too. Great package, my favourite Argento film. Really pleased with it, even though I pre-ordered so long ago I kept forgetting I’d ordered it! Love the Japanese poster (Shadow), not sure it’s a option on the standard release.
It's great that Arrow deliver these editions put a bit early on the pre orders 👍👍 haha yeah I did stop and think "what's this?" When the postie knocked 🤔🥴🤣 I think they might have only put the shadow option in this movie 🤔 usually the standard 4k is a plain case (which is a bit mean of them 😵💫) cheers for watching Mark 🤩🤩👍👍
Nice. My copy is on the way. I got the Synapse version in the US. It had the same art but the Arrow version has those white boxes dividing it up, which I did not like. The synapse does not have those and looked better. Also the top of the spine has a little art, the woman peeking through the cloth like on the reversible art you flipped to. Otherwise is the same release.
Do you think they used the same source mg? I remember the Arrow 2013 steelbook had the cover without the bars 👍👍 I'd never heard that this movie was also called Shadow, crazy how details like that pass you by 🥴 cheers again for watching mg 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Definitely. From what I understand the Synapse and Arrow releases are identical and did because of rights. They went up for pre-order at the same time. Release dates same. So just different slip art. We had 2 different art choices and you guys did as well. We had the classic cover art like you got, just without the white boxes. Then we got one unique art, did not like. Then uk had the other choice of the lame computer manipulation of the original art.
Great info mg 🤩🤩👌👌 sometimes when a 4k gets released simultaneously you hear 1 is vastly better than the other (picture and sound wise) great to hear they are the sane quality mg 😁😁👍👍
I am glad to say I have got these five boxsets. First Argento film I got was VHS Version of Profundo Rosso in the 1 early 80s - really bad picture - much better on 4K.
Great versions aren't they Paul 🤩🤩👍👍 I remember having a early dvd version of Deep Red and the picture was very underwhelming 😵💫 but yeah the 4k looks spectacular Paul 🤩🤩👌👌
Great review John, I have it dispatched and on the way from amazon. That phenomena box is very cool but I will probably have to get the Jennifer connelly box art version since it would end up being about 30% extra for me to order from arrow.
Nice one Steve 🤩👍 watched it last night it was sensational 👌👌 I see, I only got the Creepers one to stay away from the back case, as I already have the remastered blu ray box set of Phenomena, great packaging all round!! Cheers for watching Steve and enjoy Tenebrae when you get it 🤩🤩👍👍
Great collection there John, look great together, 👍🏻 I must admit I've always struggled to get into these movies myself but Jason was very kind and sent me over phenomenon recently and it has Jennifer connelly in (from my favourite movie of probably all time, Labyrinth) so I'm ready to give them another go! 😄👍🏻
Cheers Ash 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah they look amazing on the shelf mate 😁👌 I always struggled with Phenomena, but on my last watch it finally clicked and I really enjoyed it, maybe it needs that other watch to "get" it perhaps, hope you get something out of it this time around Ash 😁😁👍👍
Looks like an impressive set. Ive been interested in seeing dario Argento movies but not got round to buying them. I'm a bit put off from buying more 4k discs at the moment, they always look really dark but the blu Ray that comes with them look fine. I'm guessing it's the settings on my TV but can't figure it out.
Don't worry about turning up the brightness setting on your TV; 4K transfers are produced at a lower and a higher nit reading to ensure the colours translate well across low-nit and high-nit screens. I have the Panasonic HX80040 which isn't the brightest screen around but turning the 'backlight' setting makes a really nice difference, without distorting the colours. Your TVs settings may label certain options differently but essentially, adjusting brightness isn't going to ruin the image :)
This is amazing! Thank you. I just saw Severin Films released Four Flies on Grey Velvet on 4k. I want to buy all the Dario Argento Giallo films. I've been putting it off for a long time. Do you recommend a certain 4k Blue Ray Player for these?
Cheers for watching Manuel, yeah that four flies looks amazing!! I would say to get a Sony or Panasonic 4k player and spend around £180 for a good player 🤔🤩👍 thanks for watching and those Argento 4ks are highly recommended 🤩🤩👌👌
@@MondoChelloveckMovies thank you so much for the quick reply John! I appreciate it. And thank you for that recommendation! I think I'm just going to do it and buy them all. Your channel is awesome. Take care.
Thanks for these kind words Manuel 🤩🤩👌👌 I never looked back when I got my 4k player in 2018! I got a Sony 🤩 can't go wrong with the Argento 4ks!! Thanks again Manuel 😊😊👍👍
I do like it and think it pays off but it is my least favourite of the Trilogy, but I still like its 70s vibe 🤔🤩🤩 just would like to see what a 4k transfer could add to the experience Steven 👍🤩
Apparently Inferno is owned by Fox which in turn is owned by Disney so it might never see the light of day again on a release! I really hope they do as it's a fantastic movie 👌👌I really didn't get Phenomena until my recent rewatch and I do like Opera but maybe as you say Tenebrae was his last iconic movie 🤩🤩👌👌
I don't unfortunately mate, usually I get a bit of a heads up when I'm in HMV but nobody said anything 🤔 it's about time they had another sale as there is a few things I'll get in the sale mate 😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Im buying a big bunch of OOP and First Pressing Arrow stuff off a guy so I might not order very much on this sale. Well will still order a bunch if its a good sale I guess but I have my doubts about this one seeing how bad the Easter Sale was.
I got my copy yesterday. Its an amazing release. The White Box version looked like a jigsaw puzzle. The 2013 re-release was a lot better. Tenebrae is Italian or Latin for Shadow or Darkness (I think).
Its brilliant isn't it Steve 🤩🤩 I agree with you on the white box, the re release was a big step up, but this 4k is 👌👌👌 great info on the title Steve 🤩🤩👍👍
I totally agree with that mate, maybe Giallo wouldn't work now, but I would love to see them give the genre another go mate 🤩👍.... Great channel name by the way 😁😁👌👌
Ive only got one Arrow release that has this sort of printed book with it and thats my Robocop LE. I dont like how you cant really open it very wide when you read it(or you'll break it) and the text is printed too far into the split between the pages youre reading. I much prefer the booklets.
@@MondoChelloveckMovies I wish I’d watched from the start,it seemed to just go on and on,but I did stay till the end. Great night,thanks to yourself and Keith. I work night shifts,so I can’t alway attend.👍♥️
I really appreciate you watching for the time you did! We were saying after the stream that the response was incredible on this stream..... I've just woken up from a slumber!! 😴😴🥴🥴🤣🤣 cheers again mate 🤩🤩👍👍
The cover to Tenebre looks awesome, John.
Cheers mate, yeah it's really nice in the flesh, very striking I think 🤩🤩👍👍
Ordered on the back of your review. Keep up the good work. You’re one of the few reviewers who correctly says Aitch and not Haitch!
Thanks Clive, I think you will be more than satisfied with this version of Tenebrae mate 🤩🤩👍👍thanks for these kind words Clive and 😁😁 I was taking about that same thing with the channel Rockgod2004 about the aitch/Haitch thing 🤩🤩🤩👌👌 cheers mate 👍👍
Great vid, and loved those posters. I also love the soundtrack, in fact its my favourite of all his soundtrack.
Cheers Bryan 😁👍 yeah really amazing posters! The soundtrack is awesome too, totally agree there mate 🤩🤩👌👌 I think Deep Red is mine but the theme tune to Tenebrae is one of the best songs ever!! Cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Got mine today as well John, Arrow has yet again knocked it out of the park👍🏻
Yeah totally agree Gary, love the fact that it's not been out in this fashion before, like the other Argento movies 👌👌 🤩🤩
Hi John, I received my Tenebrae 4k yesterday & watched it last night & it looks stunning.
Cheers Mark, yeah it does doesn't it, so glad they delivered a great transfer of it Mark 🤩🤩👍👍
Great video and that look a great boxset and the other looked good too
Cheers Danny, yeah it's another great release from Arrow, hope they do some more Argento this way 🤞🤞🤩🤩👍👍
That reversable art is the poster i remember back when it was released in the UK John. Nice set that mate.
Yes I remember that too Dan 😁😁👍👍 yeah Arrow have really pulled out the stops with their Argento stuff mate 😁😁👏👏

Yeah I'm thinking that as well Michael 😵💫 I just hope those who own them at the moment don't hold them back for a 4k upgrade 😬😬🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies yeah. I know I'm probably in a minority here but as much as I like Suspira I don't love it. I actually prefer Opera.
Interesting Michael 🤔 I think Suspiria has the look down to a tee but maybe Opera has the story 🤩👍👍
Amazon are doing Arrow Ltd Phenomena 4K for £25 at the moment.
That's a great price for that set Nick 🤩🤩👌👌
That's a nice looking set, and a impressive collection of Argento movies you've got John. I've only seen Suspiria and Tenebrae on VHS and I really liked them both. I should try and get or see some of his other movies too. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I'm really liking this release mate 🤩👍 so glad to have these Argento classics on these editions 👌👌 I rate all of these movies highly and think you will be impressed if you check them out 👍👍 especially Deep Red 👌👌🤩🤩 thanks for watching mate 😁😁
I love the Kim wilde track used in the unsane print, it's also used on the Japanese "shadow* release. Sadly I've been hearing on several forums that arrow messed up again and this release has some issues so I'm guessing they'll be doing a disc replacement in the near future
Oh dear 😵💫 the only good thing about ordering from Arrow is that they send you the replacement disc out bur still, you think they would have learned by now 🤯🤯 the Kim Wilde e.p is included on the "Unsane" disc as an extra, I watched the original cut last night and it played very well, must be on the other discs 🥴 cheers for the info mate 😁😁👍👍
Got mine today too. Great package, my favourite Argento film. Really pleased with it, even though I pre-ordered so long ago I kept forgetting I’d ordered it! Love the Japanese poster (Shadow), not sure it’s a option on the standard release.
It's great that Arrow deliver these editions put a bit early on the pre orders 👍👍 haha yeah I did stop and think "what's this?" When the postie knocked 🤔🥴🤣 I think they might have only put the shadow option in this movie 🤔 usually the standard 4k is a plain case (which is a bit mean of them 😵💫) cheers for watching Mark 🤩🤩👍👍
Nice. My copy is on the way. I got the Synapse version in the US. It had the same art but the Arrow version has those white boxes dividing it up, which I did not like. The synapse does not have those and looked better. Also the top of the spine has a little art, the woman peeking through the cloth like on the reversible art you flipped to. Otherwise is the same release.
Do you think they used the same source mg? I remember the Arrow 2013 steelbook had the cover without the bars 👍👍 I'd never heard that this movie was also called Shadow, crazy how details like that pass you by 🥴 cheers again for watching mg 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Definitely.
From what I understand the Synapse and Arrow releases are identical and did because of rights. They went up for pre-order at the same time. Release dates same.
So just different slip art.
We had 2 different art choices and you guys did as well.
We had the classic cover art like you got, just without the white boxes. Then we got one unique art, did not like.
Then uk had the other choice of the lame computer manipulation of the original art.
Great info mg 🤩🤩👌👌 sometimes when a 4k gets released simultaneously you hear 1 is vastly better than the other (picture and sound wise) great to hear they are the sane quality mg 😁😁👍👍
I am glad to say I have got these five boxsets. First Argento film I got was VHS Version of Profundo Rosso in the 1 early 80s - really bad picture - much better on 4K.
Great versions aren't they Paul 🤩🤩👍👍 I remember having a early dvd version of Deep Red and the picture was very underwhelming 😵💫 but yeah the 4k looks spectacular Paul 🤩🤩👌👌
Great review John, I have it dispatched and on the way from amazon. That phenomena box is very cool but I will probably have to get the Jennifer connelly box art version since it would end up being about 30% extra for me to order from arrow.
Nice one Steve 🤩👍 watched it last night it was sensational 👌👌 I see, I only got the Creepers one to stay away from the back case, as I already have the remastered blu ray box set of Phenomena, great packaging all round!! Cheers for watching Steve and enjoy Tenebrae when you get it 🤩🤩👍👍
Great collection there John, look great together, 👍🏻 I must admit I've always struggled to get into these movies myself but Jason was very kind and sent me over phenomenon recently and it has Jennifer connelly in (from my favourite movie of probably all time, Labyrinth) so I'm ready to give them another go! 😄👍🏻
Cheers Ash 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah they look amazing on the shelf mate 😁👌 I always struggled with Phenomena, but on my last watch it finally clicked and I really enjoyed it, maybe it needs that other watch to "get" it perhaps, hope you get something out of it this time around Ash 😁😁👍👍
Looks like an impressive set. Ive been interested in seeing dario Argento movies but not got round to buying them. I'm a bit put off from buying more 4k discs at the moment, they always look really dark but the blu Ray that comes with them look fine. I'm guessing it's the settings on my TV but can't figure it out.
Don't worry about turning up the brightness setting on your TV; 4K transfers are produced at a lower and a higher nit reading to ensure the colours translate well across low-nit and high-nit screens. I have the Panasonic HX80040 which isn't the brightest screen around but turning the 'backlight' setting makes a really nice difference, without distorting the colours. Your TVs settings may label certain options differently but essentially, adjusting brightness isn't going to ruin the image :)
Totally agree with Otis96 here Movie Buff, you can definitely alter the darker 4ks with a change of settings 🤩🤩👌👌
This is amazing! Thank you. I just saw Severin Films released Four Flies on Grey Velvet on 4k. I want to buy all the Dario Argento Giallo films. I've been putting it off for a long time. Do you recommend a certain 4k Blue Ray Player for these?
Cheers for watching Manuel, yeah that four flies looks amazing!! I would say to get a Sony or Panasonic 4k player and spend around £180 for a good player 🤔🤩👍 thanks for watching and those Argento 4ks are highly recommended 🤩🤩👌👌
@@MondoChelloveckMovies thank you so much for the quick reply John! I appreciate it. And thank you for that recommendation! I think I'm just going to do it and buy them all. Your channel is awesome. Take care.
Thanks for these kind words Manuel 🤩🤩👌👌 I never looked back when I got my 4k player in 2018! I got a Sony 🤩 can't go wrong with the Argento 4ks!! Thanks again Manuel 😊😊👍👍
I hope Arrow is working on a 4k limited addition of 4 Flies and Grey Velvet. The box artwork should have a green color theme
I really hope so too mate 🤞🤞 someone has to bring Four Flies up to the level of his other 70s masterpieces!! Yeah green would work really well 🤩🤩👍👍
I do like it and think it pays off but it is my least favourite of the Trilogy, but I still like its 70s vibe 🤔🤩🤩 just would like to see what a 4k transfer could add to the experience Steven 👍🤩
Apparently Inferno is owned by Fox which in turn is owned by Disney so it might never see the light of day again on a release! I really hope they do as it's a fantastic movie 👌👌I really didn't get Phenomena until my recent rewatch and I do like Opera but maybe as you say Tenebrae was his last iconic movie 🤩🤩👌👌
Hey John!
Do you know anything about when the Arrow Summer Sale should start?
I know Arrow mentioned a sale soon in a recent newsletter.
I don't unfortunately mate, usually I get a bit of a heads up when I'm in HMV but nobody said anything 🤔 it's about time they had another sale as there is a few things I'll get in the sale mate 😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies
Im buying a big bunch of OOP and First Pressing Arrow stuff off a guy so I might not order very much on this sale. Well will still order a bunch if its a good sale I guess but I have my doubts about this one seeing how bad the Easter Sale was.
Arrow sale starts next Thursday mate 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies
Its this Thursday even right?
I saw the newsletter.
Lets hope its a good one.
Yeah pretty sure it is, it's another summer camp sale, yeah me too!!! Few things I want to get mate 🤩👌👌
I got my copy yesterday. Its an amazing release. The White Box version looked like a jigsaw puzzle. The 2013 re-release was a lot better. Tenebrae is Italian or Latin for Shadow or Darkness (I think).
Its brilliant isn't it Steve 🤩🤩 I agree with you on the white box, the re release was a big step up, but this 4k is 👌👌👌 great info on the title Steve 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Keep the vids coming!! :)
Will do Steven, can't see me stopping for the foreseeable mate, been waiting years to do this bud 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Great news mate!!
🤩 thanks for saying that Steven, it always is great to receive positive messages like this my friend 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Many 4k they re realse arrow sry my english but is it big diffrence worth to upgrade them?
Hi Prodigy, the upgrade is small on some of the Arrow 4ks, but Tenebrae is a good upgrade, well worth it 😁😁👍👍
You should see my Japanese Cannibal Ferox poster
😁 do you have that on the wall Mark? 😳😳🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies it’s behind my tv lol 😂
@@markjordan7705 wow!! 😁😁😁amazing Mark 👌👌👌
I got tenebrae with deep red at a film store for a good price, they just don’t make giallo anymore
I totally agree with that mate, maybe Giallo wouldn't work now, but I would love to see them give the genre another go mate 🤩👍.... Great channel name by the way 😁😁👌👌
@@MondoChelloveckMovies thanks for the compliment, I do love me some old horror.
Brian yuzna, lucio fulci, Mario/lamberto bava.
No problems 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah those are all solid directors!! Love their movies Far 2D2 😁😁👌👌
Ive only got one Arrow release that has this sort of printed book with it and thats my Robocop LE.
I dont like how you cant really open it very wide when you read it(or you'll break it) and the text is printed too far into the split between the pages youre reading.
I much prefer the booklets.
You definitely have to be careful with them or you will break the spine, I agree that they can be hard to read at times for sure mate 🤔👍👍👍👍
Did you get enough sleep after the live stream last night ? 😴👍
😴😴 not really mate, had to be in Newcastle for 9am this morning 🥴🥴🤣 really enjoyed the stream last night though 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies I wish I’d watched from the start,it seemed to just go on and on,but I did stay till the end. Great night,thanks to yourself and Keith. I work night shifts,so I can’t alway attend.👍♥️
I really appreciate you watching for the time you did! We were saying after the stream that the response was incredible on this stream..... I've just woken up from a slumber!! 😴😴🥴🥴🤣🤣 cheers again mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Scalpel?
Remind me not to come to you for surgery...
😁😁 my surgery is always open 😵💫🤩👍👍
This third goriest argento film after mother of tears and pelts
Mother of Tears is very poor, though. And the gore looks cartoonish.
Haven't had the pleasure of seeing Mother of Tears yet guys.... luckily 😁😁👍👍
