This is the another Arrow Blu-ray release that is being simultaneously released in both region 'A' (US) and 'B' (UK). It is the exact same package with minor variations (see below).

The new 1080P transfer is a massive improvement over the SDs from brightness, more film textures to more information in the frame, detail and contrast. It is cited as a 'Brand new 2K restoration of the film from the original camera negative'. It's another magnificent Arrow transfer - dual-layered with a max'ed out bitrate frequently showcasing the rich grain.

Arrow use DTS-HD Masters in mono for both original Italian and English DUBs. It sounds clear and tight - with some slight awkwardness to the English sync. The impressive score is by Ennio Morricone - his 29th of 1972 alone! - (A Bullet for the General, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion, U Turn, Stay As You Are etc. etc.) and plays off the film's emotions and atmosphere brilliantly - creepy, tonal. There are optional English subtitles (for both English and Italian audio versions.) It is, technically, region 'A' + 'B' -locked although we, at DVDBeaver, label it as region FREE Blu-ray until I come across a locked 'C' disc.

The supplements are outstanding. We get a wonderful new audio commentary with critics Alan Jones and Kim Newman sincerely having fun chatting with each other bringing up many details of Giallo, the choice of London for the film, the performers and filmmakers and a gift-giving ceremony! It's very enjoyable. There are newly filmed, individual, cast interviews with Karin Baal, Fabio Testi and producer Fulvio Lucisano - lasting a total of 45 minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed Innocence Lost - a new visual essay by Michael Mackenzie who explores the themes of Solange and its two semi-sequels in the "Schoolgirls in Peril" trilogy. There is also a original theatrical trailer and the package has a reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by MALLEUS and a liner notes booklet featuring brand new writing on the film, illustrated with original stills. It also has a second disc DVD included.
