RAW MEAT (1972) Blue Underground 4K UHD + Blu-ray Review

 


Blue Underground brings Gary Sherman's DEATHLINE (aka RAW MEAT - 1972) to 4K UHD and Blu-ray in a transfer that brings out the disturbing details in this tale of subterranean slaughter in the London Underground, with police inspector Donald Pleasence hot on the trail of the not-so-charming CHUD.

Earlier transfers were too dark, murky, or soft to truly get all of the details (gruesome or otherwise) in the set, character, and rubble design, now all razor sharp, all the better to shock you with. My first viewing, years ago via a tape trade online, was a dark, multi-generational pan and scan copy that was more a series of screams and moans over black than a cohesive viewing experience, and Blue Undergrounds new edition was like seeing it for the first time. Extras are copious, porting over archive goodies from previous releases along with some new tidbits to shed light on the dark origins of the film, including the shocker that at one point Marlon Brando was lined up to play the nonverbal killer!
