Rating: 5.0
this is not too dark!!
The film looks fine on blu ray. I was lucky enough to actually get one of these on blu ray from screen archives. the print is in great shape with no lines or scratches. And it looks CLOSER to what you say in the movie theaters in 1990 than the dvd version was. So the 'it's too dark comments" are not reasonible imo. In fact the only complaint I can give this one is that the whole twilight time idea of making only 3,000 copies is a VERY BAD IDEA. Why? 1. because after they go out of print there are still in demand. 2. the higher prices scare off many buyers of non cult flicks. Sure the horror and sci fi ones sell out but the others are just too expensive to go for. 3. at this price you think you are getting a criterion edition with lots of restoration. That's not the case but for this movie they had a really EXCELLENT print. on others they are not as good at all. 4. more money could be made by keeping a item in print on a for order basis at a lower price, more buyers equals more money. 5. rip off sellers buy ten copies then sell them on amazon.com for a large profit. I am grateful to twilight time for getting many movies out to us , but who can afford to grab that many of them? Horror fans may only collect horror but I like the other great flicks this company put out too, films like; "the egyptian", "pal joey' and others are good classic movies and deserve more of a chance at a wider audience. surely keeping movies in print at a lower price is a better idea than this strategy ,unless sony only lets them have the rights for a 3,000 print run which is dumb on sonys part. Anyways this is NOT a BAD print , it's far better than the dvd , and it's NOT too dark , it looks fine , with excellent detail. the print was well maintained over the years. Unlike lets say 'the tie that binds' from four years later which has lines and scratches in it. As for the movie , it's very close to the original in tone and story , almost a complete remake. ALthough the zombies look better than the original version the movie is not gorier, in fact compared to 'dawn of the dead' )original or later this is not that gory with most of the violence being off camera, it' s more pg really! . Still the acting and the story is good and the film looks fine. Sadly few of you will be able to complete your zombie collection due to this being limited edition. this is a solid higher budget a zombie flick that actually played in every city in america back in 1990. Non horror fans might rate this lower but it's a well made horror movie.
