Thanks Michael 😁😁👍👍 the first release was pretty much the first 'bigger" edition in the Italian Collection and I was unsure it could be topped mate but wow the store exclusive did just that 🤩🤩👏👏 cheers for watching Michael 😁😁👍👍
Got mine on Friday, haven't had a chance to watch it yet though, looks nice. Can't wait for my pre-order of Vampire Hunter. I do hope that the slip card is not stuck down like the leatherette version of The Excorsist. There was no way of taking it off without damaging the ĺeather effect, had to leave mine on as I see so many revuers damage their's. Keep up the great work John.
It's a cracking release mate 🤩🤩👏👏 you will love it 👍👍 I know what you mean about that, the leather look is great but needs to have nothing stuck to it in any way 🤯🤯 if it is on, I'm leaving mine on as well.... Hate damaging anything I get 😵💫😵💫 thanks again bud 🤩🤩👍👍
Great video John, really enjoyed watching it as always. The plot of Eyeball reminds me a bit of a Section 3 video nasty called The Headless Eyes, directed by Kent Bateman I think, that came out a couple of years previous.
Cheers DK mate 🤩🤩👍👍 oh right, heard of the title but never seen it, I know its one of those crazy ones to get in the nasties mate 🥴 I really liked the bus trip element to this one though 😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMoviesYou're not missing much with The Headless Eyes to be honest with you, it's one of those barely watchable, very low budget films that would have probably been long forgotten if it wasn't a video nasty.
@TheDriller-Killer 🤣🤣 i know the type you mean DK 🤯🤯🤣🤣 still if its on the list it's got to be picked up 🥴😵💫🤩 thanks for the info and you have a great 2025 mate 🪅🪅🎉🎉🤩🤩
I ordered this new 4K box version (arriving soon), but also have that 2018 blu ray. Last night I went back and watched the included "All eyes on Lenzi" documentary which really is excellent and an important inclusion for those interested in Lenzi.
Wow, that is one cool looking edition John, very nice indeed! And the picture quality looks exquisite! I have the old edition of Eyeball that 88 Films put out, minus the goodies unfortunately, and kept forgetting I had it. Umberto Lenzi is one of my favorite genre filmmakers and I've enjoyed every film I've seen of his thus far. The plot element of everyone wearing a red scarf and one of them possibly being the killer is a good one. I'm planning on picking up the 4K/Bu Ray combo as well, but I'm going with the newly commissioned artwork version, as while the web store exclusive looks really nice, it makes the film look too much like a Horror entry, which it definitely isn't. The Giallo made an art form out of red herrings and twists in the Mystery/Crime/Thriller genre, you really don't know what's what until the always surprising climax of the film. Take care my friend, hope you and the Debs are well, and speak to you soon.
It's an amazing edition!!! One of my favourites 👌👌 yeah the Horror element with skulls doesn't happen 🤣🤣 how many old posters of films have a misleading cover art 😵💫😵💫🤣🤣 red herrings is a good way of saying it as this red scarfs and coats are all over the place aren't they 🤣🤣 cracking picture quality on the 4k Nash 😀😀👏👏 all the best to you for 2025 my friend 🎉🎉🪅🪅😁😁
Great video John. As always 😊 I have recently started getting into Italian movie's after years of being indecisive about them. And I'll tell you what? I'm so glad I took the plunge. I love them! 😊 I've been snapping up special edition 4k and blue rays when they are available (and when I can afford them)
I originally got well into Italian Cinema when John Hall properly introduced me to them in the 90s, had seen some before but he explained to me what they were all about and also introduced me to some absolute crackers and I've been hooked ever since, so when 88 Films made a dedicated collection to them I was like.... I'm getting all these!!! 🤣🤣🤩🤩👍👍 My rule of thumb is that I'll give any Italian film from the 70's to the 00's a go and usually I really enjoy them Kevin 😊😊👏👏 have you got "I Vampiri" released by Radiance? Wow!!! What a film that is.... Gothic Horror at its finest 🤩🤩👌👌
Another great and informative video John. Just ordered this exclusive from their site. Ordered Mortuary as well. Have you done a review on that one. I'm heavily into Italian horror/gaillo, and 88 is the best site for these type of films. Look forward to seeing more reviews from you next year. Merry christmas and Happy new year.
Cheers mate 😁😁👍👍 the regular special is nice in the flesh but this exclusive is 👌👌👌🤩🤩🤩 perfection 😊😊 I've looked at Mortuary on a recent video yes, great release 👏👏 88 Films for me are the leaders in Giallo and Italian Horror at the moment for sure 👏👏 yeah got quite a few things to review in the next couple of weeks mate, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well 🎄🎄🎅🎅👍👍
I have the German 666 Limited X-rated Kult Big Box DVD titled Secret Killer from back in the day so a fan of the film. I wasn't buying Blu-ray until recently so don't have the previous release you showcased and saw someone who bought the non store exclusive with that dodgy photoshopped art work and wasn't impressed. I've just bought this release and FYI there's now only 443 left according to 88 Films webstore. You made a good argument for pulling the trigger 👍🍺🎅
Yes there is a opening credits sequence of the Secret Killer on the disc 😊😊👍👍 I enjoyed this 4k Snowy 🤩🤩👏👏 I'm all big fan of the original art so I'll always go for it and glad it was used on the store exclusive 👏👏 i think this will probably be sold out in a few weeks and it's a decent price considering the quality of it!! Although the second hand market will scalp you for sure 🤬🤬 443.... selling fast!! I'm sure you will love this version Snowy, thanks for watching 🤩🤩👍👍
I'm quite torn about what one to get. I've never seen the film, but i don't want to miss out on the 4k limited one if the film is any good. That set does look something special. Cheers John.
As mentioned in this video the 2018 blu ray includes the 80 minute. "All eyes on Lenzi" documentary which is excellent and an important inclusion that is not part of the new 4K set.
It's always one you could sell in the future and get your money back if you don't care for the filum mate 🤔🤩👍 personally I think it's a great Giallo and the 4k is exceptional 😁😁👍👍 as I said the blu ray is going cheap now and has that great feature length documentary on it 🤩🤩👌👌
Hi John, I noticed you have a lot of protecters on your collection. Are they Steelbook Central ones? I have been going off my head, trying to get the correct size for my Arrow Killer Dames Boxset. Any advice on correct size. Love your channel and reviews, really informative. Cheers. Russ 👍👍
Hi Russ 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah that's them mate, i haven't got the killer dames set but have seen it, it's like just over 2 films wide? I'm currently in the same position as yourself mate, I'm wanting to order the bigger sizes for some Arrow and 88 sets myself I'm confused myself, I got sent a chart for the dimensions of the protectors and the width on the chart is the spine in millimeters, I've measured a few and it's still a bit confusing so I'm going to order the ones I think are correct but am prepared for them to be a bit off, hopefully they fit other boxes and will give me a guide as to the ones I want 🤔🤔🤩 if you email me I'll send you the pic 👍👍 hopefully that helps somewhat Russ and thanks for you kind words mate 🤩🤩👌👌
Hi John, Now giallo movies for me are hit & miss for me, i did have the blu ray edition & being a fan of the Umberto Lenzi Euro crime movies i was expecting a bit more & i prefer other giallo movies to "Eyeball" but i won"t take anything away in the fantastic work that 88 Films do with european movies & this 4K edition is a cool & fine looking set/ Maybe i shouldn"t given this one another shot.
@@MondoChelloveckMovies It does look good, John. But I can still see the pink dominating on the transfer. Maybe the screenshot's aren't doing it justice 🤔
@paulconway384 bear in mind my phone adds some HDR to the photos so they are slightly different in real life Paul, want to use my new phone that doesn't use HDR but my laptop doesn't recognise it so I have to still use my old phone 🤬🤬🤬 hate technology mate 😵💫😵💫🤣🤣
Great review! I’ve always loved Eyeball and cherish the previous 88 Films release but wow, this web store exclusive looks gorgeous!!
Thanks Michael 😁😁👍👍 the first release was pretty much the first 'bigger" edition in the Italian Collection and I was unsure it could be topped mate but wow the store exclusive did just that 🤩🤩👏👏 cheers for watching Michael 😁😁👍👍

Great review as always. I need to watch the feature length documentary. Looks amazing
Cheers Richard 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah that's a cracking doc, loads of stars talk about Lenzi on it highly recommend mate 🤩🤩👏👏
