Indicator / Powerhouse Films - Blu-ray Release Thread

Really? Weird. Every time I've ordered direct from them they've given a postal tracking number.

If you have USPS Informed Delivery to check, you might want to check and see if a tracking number shows up with "GB" at the end of it.

 

Very odd you haven't got your order yet maybrick. Mine came pretty quick. It's starting to sound like yours might be lost. Maybe it's worth contacting them again and letting them know the situation.

 

I have my doubts that it was ever sent to begin with.

 

You could be right there. Especially if you didn't get tracking. I'm pretty sure I did (it was included as standard), I just rarely look at them for movie orders unless it seems to be taking much longer than usual to arrive.

 

Does Indicator usually do standard releases of their sold out LEs? I didn't realize See No Evil had gone OOP. Any chance they'll release a standard edition?

 

Yeah, they almost always do.

The standard reissue comes out next month: https://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/see-no-evil-standard-edition/12526159.html

 

Nice! Thank you. It wasn't listed on the Indicator site or blu-ray.com so I wasn't sure.

 

The next wave of Limited Edition releases has been revealed:

THE BEAST MUST DIE

FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE

BRITANNIA HOSPITAL

The Beast Must Die is definitely a must buy, and I’m glad that I have permanently forsaken Severin so that I could hold out for a release like this. I just wish my order from Indicator’s sale two months ago didn’t get lost!

 

Did they end up sending you a replacement?

 

They won’t do jack shit about it until the 18th.

 

Damn that's annoying. With any luck they'll still show up before then and you won't have to wait for another shipment.

 

Yeah, I think it's an underrated film.

 

They’re also releasing a slew of Hammer Films. The Gorgon, Fanatic (Die Die My Darling), Maniac, and Curse of The Mummy’s Tomb. All released June 29th. It’s nice that they’re releasing them individually as I don’t really need to own every Hammer in the first box set, but I’d love to own The Gorgon.

The recent American Blu left plenty of room for improvement so I may get this.

 

Severin are re-issuing it as a stand-alone release with a new scan during their June sale, FYI.

 

Hard pass on anything from Severin. I won’t get fooled again.

 

I, Monster was officially announced earlier today by Indicator.

So, 3 months after the Indicator sale that I told you guys about I still haven’t received my discs. BUT they finally said that they would send me a replacement. So... I took a chance and ordered The Beast Must Die and The Gorgon. This time with tracking. Maybe I’m too trusting?

btw, if anybody is thinking about placing an order with them you better do it before July because they’re informing us that rates are going to skyrocket due to corona.
