Man, The secret of Ninth is dope.

Fuckin' A

[@bernardocisneros]

Amazing stuff! Really love the way Louis Feuillade set looks. really need to get back into getting some MoC releases. I am excited for both Cure on 4k and Dr. Mabuse set.

[@thecinematicmind]

To see The Secret of NIMH on Eureka Entertainment makes me smile with joy. Hopefully MGM is allowing a new restoration for 4K someday.

[@RazorwireReviews]

Would be amazing, but the package they've put together for it regardless is so, so great.

[@artomino78]

I'm sad to hear that you've lost loved ones this year. I wish you a better year for 2025 and great video.

[@RazorwireReviews]

Thanks

[@erwanticheler]

Loved this! I do not own any Eureka, but it is my goal to change that in 2025 as they release so many great films. I thought about getting the Louis Feuillade set, but it was a bit too expensive for me.

[@RazorwireReviews]

Yeah it was a lot to pay if you were going in blind to the films, that's for sure. Here's hoping for a standard release that'll be a bit cheaper, maybe even individual volumes for each serial.

[@Prettorian]

Thanks for another entertaining year, all the best for 2025, mate. Keep them coming!

[@RazorwireReviews]

Cheers!

I saw a stack of blu rays so I clicked

[@RazorwireReviews]

That's how it works! 😂

[@gloomyvale3671]

I love Eureka releases, never bought one I’m disappointed with. Hopping Mad is my favourite release along with the dead and the deadly, it’s great to see a company release these classic films. My all time favourite is 228 Kwaidan special blu ray edition looks amazing. After arrow Eureka are my second favourite label because they release films other studios won’t touch.

[@RazorwireReviews]

Oh man, I love the Hopping Mad set. I really should go back and a do a Top 10 for 2023, that would definitely rank high for me. I've yet to watch Kwaidan but love Kobayashi's work. Excited to get to that one.

[@markasamelyushkin3733]

If you liked The Valiant Ones, you should check out more of King Hu's films, since most of them are in the collection. He's become one of my favorite directors.

[@RazorwireReviews]

I just watched and loved Dragon Inn last night!

[@markasamelyushkin3733]

@RazorwireReviews It's a great one! I'd also recommend A Touch of Zen and Raining in the Mountain. Two of my favorites of his

[@markasamelyushkin3733]

Too many amazing releases to keep up with! Hopefully they rerelease that Louis Feuillade set, it got out of print so quickly

[@RazorwireReviews]

I'm sure it'll get a repackaged release of some form this year.

[@SpaceCattttt]

I kind of associate Eureka! with trash cinema. Or even if they do occasionally release a pretty good film, their transfers usually leave a lot to be desired. Hence why this is the boutique label I buy the absolute least from. I do have their extremely OOP release of Fellini's City of Women, which I treasure. It has poor picture quality (but of course) but also very nice packaging and the best extras available for that particular film, so what can you do, right? I think I might get The Secret of NIMH as well. I don't mind it looking bad. I grew up with it and watched it over and over on an awful VHS copy that made the entire film look as dusty as the owl's nest! Didn't bother me at all. In fact, I think I prefer it looking like that!

[@RazorwireReviews]

One person's trash is another's treasure and all that...

[@84paratize]

Surprised you were unhappy with the Louis Feuillade transfers. The only one that looked less than stellar to me was Les Vampires, but I think that one was restored before the others (and perhaps the elements they dealt with weren't as good).

[@RazorwireReviews]

I think niggled or annoyed by would be a more accurate term than unhappy, per se. I'll get more into it down the line. I do think Gaumont over processed Les Vampires, but Fantomas looked excellent.
