After Having Just Finished My First Viewing...
Like other movies I knew to be classic for one reason or another, this is one of the films which I chose never to spoil by a viewing on broadcast TV, videocassette or standard DVD. Thank goodness high definition allows me to see these films in such a fine presentation.I've got to say that this film has had the same effect on me today as it would have if I were to have seen it years ago on the big screen.This film [for me] was highly enjoyable - it did not seem to be the cheesy horror flick I was hoping it would not be. This film truly is a masterpiece of horror, which holds up very well to the test of time. It's absolutely captivating and it has far exceeded my expectations.Presentation-wise, this Blu-ray release looks incredible. Audio options include the original mono track, a 2.0 lossless, and 5.1 DTS. There are a few interesting bonus features as well.I had no idea that in some places this film was banned until not too long ago. It is in a class of its own. I'm both shocked and astonished...crazy, mad stuff here!Highly recommended.
