Just got this in today. Perused a few films, and the transfers look good asides from one big issue: for some reason there are visible lines across the screen on the video?? Mostly vertical but a few horizontal, it's more noticeable on some films rather than others, it's not damage so much as it is like a faint pattern overlaid overtop the entire duration of the films.

The Horror-on-Sea Interview with Michael J Murphy (2013): the prolific filmmaker in conversation with Bunday and Lyndon, recorded for the British horror festival Having gone over the set yet further and looking at some of the extras, I can confirm it's not any fault of the transfer that The Last Night has a choppy frame-rate. According to one of the interviews, it was shot on a wind-up camera, Murphy describes it as 'juddery' and with terrible sound, which both match the film as presented on the BD. Michael J Murphy on ‘Beast’ (2010): interview with the filmmaker about Chris Jupp’s remake of his lost version of Skare The Horror-on-Sea Interview with Michael J Murphy (2013): the prolific filmmaker in conversation with Bunday and Lyndon, recorded for the British horror festival October 30, 2023 , Joel Fisher , No Comment Pigeon Shrine Halloween Frightfest Film Review – Maria (2023)Amongst overlooked filmmakers, British director Michael J Murphy ranks as one of the most sorely neglected. Having cut his teeth on a variety of homemade 8mm shorts, he had completed three feature-length productions by the age of eighteen. Over the next five decades, Murphy would go on to make many more films across a variety of genres, dividing his production time between Greece, Portugal, and the UK, with family, friends, and local stage performers becoming his regular cast and crew in exchange for holidays in the sun. Anyway, this is a nice set and the amount of work that must have gone into it, is staggering. Only watched Bloodstream and Death Run so far, both of which were great fun (if you know what you're getting yourself into) and looking forward to watching more soon.

The Making of ‘Skare’ (2009): retrospective documentary featuring interviews with Murphy and Holding The Last Night seems to be really choppy as well, but I don't know if it was just shot at a lower frame-rate or something or if it's an error. Either way it's quite noticeable.
