Code Red Goes Blu – Just Before Dawn, Nail Gun Massacre, The Electric Chair

[Katatonia]

It's been mentioned in the other Code Red thread, but I think this deserves a dedicated thread here in the Hi Def section:

http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=9941

Independent distributors Code Red have revealed that they are planning to begin releasing on Blu-ray in 2013. Their first releases will be J.G. Patterson Jr.'s The Electric Chair (1976), starring Katherine Cortez, Barry Bell and Nita Patterson, Bill Leslie and Terry Lofton's Nail Gun Massacre (1985), starring Rocky Patterson, Ron Queen and Beau Leland, and Jeff Lieberman's Just Before Dawn (1981), starring George Kennedy, Mike Kellin and Chris Lemmon.

The Electric Chair - director's cut of the 1974 classic, with special features & extras, hosted by Maria Kanellis and TV's MONSTER MAN Cleve Hall.

Nail Gun Massacre - with a brand new 2012 HD 1.78 transfer and a new 2012 HD fullframe boom mic cut, as well as more extras by original extra creator Loyd Cryer.

Hmmm...I'll be paying attention to that Just Before Dawn release. I wonder if it'll be uncut? And I wonder how much it'll cost?

[SpaceAce]

I would also be very interested in Just Before Dawn, especially if it had some new extras or something (and if it was priced right). None of the others would be of much interest to me. Nailgun Massacre is mindless fun but I don't need a blu of that.

...boom mic cut?

Has JUST BEFORE DAWN been confirmed as coming to Blu? For some reason they're being a little vague about it. It would be a dream come true if it's the fully uncut version completely remastered and in high-def.

I'm confused about THE ELECTRIC CHAIR. On imdb there's a film called Electric Chair but it's from 1969. Code Red's is from '74. What gives?

If Just Before Dawn is Blu I'm in for sure.

Here's the link to the film on IMDb:

They show it as a 1976 film.

Does this mean we're getting closer to a Savage Streets blu release?

Is it the same cruddy little movie that came as an extra on Something Weirds Axe DVD? Strange release for Blu ray

I just checked my SWV disc and yes indeed it is.

[dave13]

so it goes from being a B-side on a Something Weird release to one of Code Red's flagship blu ray releases? Ok....

ever since code red went selling direct i cant get any titles no more

[Kim Bruun]

I am glad Code Red is releasing Just Before Dawn on blu-ray - it is certainly deserving, and a sure buy for me.

I hope Bill will upgrade some of his catalogue titles. Messiah of Evil and Sole Survivor would be high on my wishlist.

yeah, me either. Bill refuses to ship to me anymore. literally.

so i've got a large, but incomplete Code Red collection. I've made peace with it. I won't be acquiring any more Code Red titles. other companies will just have to take my money instead. hard to feel sympathy when he complains about his poor sales when he refuses to take certain people's money.

Why's that?
