I have been buying several Tartan Asia Extreme discs off of eBay. Quite a bit cheaper than I seem to be able to find them for elsewhere, and no problems so far.

I think it must be a Scotish company, not just because it is called Tartan, but since I have been living in Scotland I see them everywhere. And I had never heard of them before.

Tartan Films, established in 1982[1], is a United Kingdom-based film distributor. It also owns the United States-based Tartan U.S.A. and Tartan Video. They are known for distributing Asian films, especially those in the horror and thriller genre, under their banner Tartan Asia Extreme and also, more recently, they have gained a reputation for releasing horror movies of other origin under their new brand, Tartan Terror. Such films include Battle Royale, the Whispering Corridors trilogy, A Tale of Two Sisters, Triad Election (aka Election 2 ), and Oldboy.
