Welcome aboard, Doc, at last! (^^,)

I'm waiting for your other preservations (future and past) to be posted here, too.

Sadly my projects are lost due to an HDD crash… 😦 | [Fundamental Collection] thread | blog.spoRv.com | fan preservation forum: fanres.com

The Braindead uncut looks awesome, to bad the BluRay Remux is Cinemageddon exclusive only.

The BrainDead Uncut 1080p file has a small glitch, I'll have to fix it before releasing it  ;-)

Nice work Doc! Good to see you active on these forums now.

So the Braindead 720p is ok to grab?

Will you be releasing a 720p MKV for The Heretic?

Yes, the BrainDead uncut 720p is OK. Not sure if I'll release a 720p of The Heretic - there's apparently a true HD version of the commercial cut available to US/UK customers on Itunes so I'd love to be able to use it for a 2.0 BD sometimes.... can anyone help by any chance...?

Any chance we could see that 1080p version of Braindead on myspleen?

I'm currently working on a completely new Blu-Ray release of The Heretic, that will replace this one (which I'm not seeding anymore BTW, I will delete it soon and I encourage anyone interested to wait for the new upcoming blu ray instead of downloading this one : the upcoming BD will feature both the director's cut and the official 110mn version completely reconstructed and remastered, and plenty of new bonus features too.

As for the "HD" version of The Heretic sold on I-tunes/Amazon that was previously discussed, I managed to grab it and compare it to my remastered version and, well, I'm going to have to stick to my guns, as it clearly appears the 1080p "HD" version sold by online retailers is nothing but an upscale - and the rather poor  compression and lack of remastering does the rest. The upscaled dvd used and remastered for this BluRay is, in my opinion, better.
