This is amazing. I’ve only ever heard about these films but have never seen them.
"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them." - Ishiro Honda

Is it dubbed as well, or only subbed?
Anyone seen these movies and can give an opinion on them?

If you look at the first post above, it'll be newly-translated English subtitles.Vakanai wrote:Is it dubbed as well, or only subbed?

I think not. According to Arrow's website, the only "language" audio on it is Japanese. So, I'd assume there is no dub present.Vakanai wrote:I saw that part, I was asking if there were any dubs as well.mikelcho wrote:If you look at the first post above, it'll be newly-translated English subtitles.Vakanai wrote:Is it dubbed as well, or only subbed?

The fact that the dubs to Lake and Evil don't seem to be included is pretty disappointing.

I'll gladly eat crow if it doesn't turn out that way....but at this point it feels painfully obvious, as it has for months.

That's a shame. I don't need dubs, but they are appreciated.Maritonic wrote:I think not. According to Arrow's website, the only "language" audio on it is Japanese.

Anyone know how this compares to the Hammer films and other vampire flicks of the era? I have a soft spot for those sort of films.

The Hammer films are superior. I'd still pick up the set. An interesting Japanese take on the vampire genreVakanai wrote:That's a shame.
