Film : 16/9 compatible 4/3 – Audio : Français, Anglais (mono)

[gnorthcott]

surely the 160min runtime must be the film plus extras,my video tape is nowhere near that.STRANGE film(but in an enjoyable way)

[bdc]

Yep that's with the extras,seems there will be lots.
Not certain they will be English friendly though...

Found a review on a French site with some caps:

Just pre-ordered one. 

[gnorthcott]

I wonder what else they might have up their sleeves?

[bdc]

Seems this release is connected to the French website Nanarland...so who knows?

Btw some (French) people already received the dvd.

Watched Devil Story yesterday (with English audio) and noticed that (on my player) around the graveyard scene the audio goes out of sync,this lasts for approx. 10 minutes (I wasn't timing) but luckily it isn't obvious most of the time as there's not much dialogue.

After that the audio is back in sync.

Also checked the French audio at this point and that seems to be in sync.

Overall it looks much better,the English audio is good as well (aside from the out of sync problem).

I think the master used was a release print that's been digitally cleaned up.

Is the film any good Bruno?

[bdc]

If you like it really trashy AND weird,then it's good.  
Most people actualy think it's better than they expected...which isn't saying much I guess...

Here's an old vid I found from the film's opening...and you haven't seen anything yet!

She deserved to die purely for skipping through the woods!     

Looks interesting, not sure I can justify the price though.
