Major video problem/effect
From the very beginning of this remake of the original film, there appears to be little specs of video erosion throughout the film. I also have the VHS version, and there aren't any specs, which makes me believe that it is an effect that was put into the DVD version since most DVDs are recorded from the original prints. The picture sharpness otherwise looks great, the Director has a full and informative commentary track, a 25 minute featurette shows behind the scenes material, and during the featurette is 3 or 4 deleted scenes that didn't make the MPAA cut. If you just want the film and don't care about the extras, get the VHS, but if you're somewhat interested in the extras, get the DVD. If you've waited for this DVD for months though, the picture imperfections may be quite of a downer if you prefer only a 100% grainy picture or a 100% perfect one when DVD buying.
