On November 21, independent British distributors Park Circus will release on Blu-ray Rupert Julian’s horror masterpiece The Phantom of the Opera. The Blu-ray release will feature the 1925 and 1929 versions of the films, the notorious Bal Masque sequence in two-strip Technicolor and other scenes hand tinted, as well as a brand new score by The Alloy Orchestra. Technical specs and region coding status for this release are unknown at the moment.
Japanese director Takashi Miike’s highly controversial Imprint, part of the popular Masters of Horror series, is set to be released on Blu-ray in Germany, courtesy of Splendid Entertainment. Early reports indicate that this release will contain the film’s uncut version. Street date is October 28th.
In 19th century Japan, an American journalist (Billy Drago of The Hills Have Eyes) searches for the prostitute he’d loved and left behind years earlier. But on an island where demons and whores rule the night, a deformed courtesan awaits with a tale of extreme cruelty and perverse vengeance. What follows is an unspeakable orgy of torment and depravity, where the lusts of the damned will inflict wounds that remain forever. This is Imprint.
