Haven't seen this, although I always meant to . . . my own fault, really. Another chance to check it out now!
It sounds like it's got a pretty stacked slate of new extras and Bill Lustig has promised that it's a new transfer from the negative, so while not cheap at least you'll probably end up getting what you pay for. The only part that worries me is the quality of Italian transfers is all over the map, with the best of the bunch having been produced without BU's direct involvement (Inferno and Deep Red, especially). If it's on par with The Bird With Crystal Plumage or The New York Ripper, I'll be more than happy even for that price. If it looks more like Burial Grounds or Cat O' Nine Tails, well...
But hey, it couldn't be worse than MANIAC!, right?

I have little doubt that Shriek Show, Blue Underground and Arrow Video are all having their film scanning work done in Italy. But what does that matter? These transfers are being made at the request of these licensors specifically for their use - wither it's directly their "fault" or not, they have to ultimately take responsibility for them.
The new French BD release of THE VIRGIN SUICIDES has similar noise. My guess is whoever scanned the film used a similar CRT setup to LVR of Rome, is all. I refuse to believe that sort of irregular noise is magically baked into a Hollywood film from less than 15 years ago.
