This Will Satisfy Me For Now!!
If you are a huge fan of this movie like me, you will know what i'm talkin about here. In certain parts of the movie the picture is too dark. For example, when Pam falls on the floor in the "Bone Room" ,the feathers and bones on the floor are so dark you can barely see them. There are a few parts like this that makes a nit picky fan kinda dissapointed. I watched the VHS version after my dvd (oct. 14th release) and i could definatley tell a difference. Come on Pioneer this is a DVD of all things there should never be anything lost in the transfer. And you can't tell me the crew at Pioneer didn't watch their transfer and notice the scenes that were too dark. Maybe they were pushing it too fast to get it out before Halloween. Who knows!! Don't get me wrong, I don't want a perfect picture because i wouldn't want that grainy look to be filtered out, that grainy look is one of the key elements if not THE key to making this masterpiece a masterpiece.I just wanted an exact replica of the original I watched years and years ago transfered to a DVD! I will say that the extras are very much worth the $14.99 I paid for this DVD. Anyways, I can't get enough of this movie and I will never get tired of it. This new re-release will keep me satisfied for now, until someone (lets say Anchor Bay), does it the right way. If those certain scenes weren't dark, this would get 5 stars easy. Well I better put my laptop away because I need to pull over and give this hitchhiker a ride. C-Ya
