On the bottom of the article it says:

ANTHROPOPHAGUS (THE GRIM REAPER). Yes, you read that last one right—Media Blasters has acquired Joe D’Amato’s notorious 1980 shocker and is currently in the process of putting together an uncut version, with a DVD release date to be announced. —Michael Gingold

Fantastic! I've been wanting to see the non-Grim Reaper cut for a long time.

[eric_angelus]

That is great news! And that cover for Just Before Dawn is excellent as well!

[dwatts]

At f*cking last.

[fceurich39]

i have them on vhs will pass on these dvds

[thrashard76]

I can't wait to finally see this. I hope they get the rights to the sequel as well. On a side note has anyone else found Porno Holocaust anywhere? I found it at Diabolik DVD but they want too much $$$ for it.

[DefJeff]

I'm really happy to hear the news. I'm so anxious to get a watchable version of this film, as opposed to the uncut Astro DVD I have. Let's hope SS can come through with this for us. God I really enjoy this movie.

There seems to be a pretty good amount of extra material available for this release on foreign dvds, so let's hope SS will put together a decent disc at least. They should contact d-udo on including a soundtrack!

[betterdan]

Damn I forgot I have the uncut vhs of this along with Absurd. I will definately get the dvd.
I think I will have some baby back ribs while I watch it on the day it is released. ;)

[url]currently in the process of putting together an uncut version

But wait...due to a DVD authoring error, 5 minutes of the film are missing! :evil: Hopefully they won't pull another Hell High or Warlock Moon DVD screwup.

[Stige]

damn it all to hell, I just bought the WAY overpriced special ( I use the term loosely) special edition. Oh well forget it , I have spent my last cent on this piece of celuloid crap

I assume JUST BEFORE DAWN will be the unratede uncut version??????

Absurd on the other hand I would probably upgrade :-)

[Anthropophagus]

This is great news, even though many people dislike anthropophagus I enjoyed its creepy, slow pace and its remote island location. The titular 'beast' was menacing as hell as well. Just Before Dawn rocks too, much better than Friday The 13th IMO for a backwoods slasher film.

[Cujo108]

Very happy to see that Lieberman got involved in the Just Before Dawn set after all. Despite all their screwups, I'll give SS credit for that one.

I'd love to pick up Anthropophagus too, so hopefully it'll be a fine release as well.

:banana:

Now let's hope they don't fuck this release up.

[razorbackattack]

Maybe Media-Blasters will finally update their site? Oh wait...who am I kidding?! :lol:

[evildeadfan123]

Finally coming out on DVD, Uncut Grim Reaper. I don't have it on VHS or DVD, which means I will be definitely buying it when it comes out on DVD.

[speanroc]

shriekshow will definetly f' this up.........

[old-boo-radley]

I can't wait! I've always wanted to see this, but all I could find was the R rated version so I decided not to get it. Good thing.

[killit]

TISA FARROW COMMENTARY!!!! Joking, well sort of

[cjg]

As asked before does anyone know whatthe deal with Porno Holocaust its been onbackorder at DDD forever and thats the cheapest Ive seen it at

[Katatonia]

Maybe Media-Blasters will finally update their site? Oh wait...who am I kidding?! :lol:

Or maybe answer their emails!!! :lol:

[VideoViolence]

Will Media Blasters ever get their shit together? And will they stop fucking up? You'd have a better chance of getting Roberta Findlay to be nice lol.

[d-udo]

Tahnks for your support buddy :D , but at the moment i still work with Beat Records for the forthcoming Italian DVD !

[dwatts]

--Will Media Blasters ever get their shit together?--

Yep, I love 'em. Does this mean the Italian version will have the soundtrack included, or did I miss something?

[The Chaostar]

I think Media Blasters are doing a good job with their current releases. As much as I think that they should wait a little longer before they release LIZARD... (so they could find a better, uncut print at least), they offer some pretty solid transfers and solid (although amateurish) bonus material.

I think they'll do just fine with ANTHROPOPHAGUS. Especially considering the other current versions of the film...
d-Udo, we need the soundtrack - I would contact Media Blasters if I were you.

DDD = DeepDiscountDVD? I know Poker has it instock. http://www.pokerindustries.com/poker.store?page=item&sku=PORNOHOMB-DVD

[jasonmperry70]

Great news. I have an uncut VHS copy of it, but it's in Italian, so I can't understand any of the dialog.

[zombi3]

and is currently in the process of putting together an uncut version

I hope this doesn't mean it will be a patch job, like Zombi 3 and Army of Darkness.

That is great news! I can not wait for that disc, I have been thinking of buying the import version, but I'll wait for this copY1 Thanks for the news!

[Coverdale]

I just wish Shriek Show would have responded to the 2 or 3 cards I sent them (the ones that have gotten some people some cool DVDs with all the trailers).

[zombi3]

Fangoria (http://fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=4584) mentions that the new Anthro release from SS will be a 2-disc set, including a Joe D'amato documentary. Sounds pretty cool so far...

[DefJeff]

Hah, I wonder if it's the missing bits from "Joe D'Amato: Totally Uncut" that they didn't include with Images in a Convent?
