The bayous and swamps of Louisiana seem filled with an enchantment all their own, and the fear of the obscure is magnified by the legendary voodoo of the area. The secrets run as deep as the waters of the swamps. While not a full-blown special edition, Trimark added some nice touches to their DVD release of this little gem of a film. Overall, this is a very clean transfer, with only a few instances of artifacting. Colors are well maintained and saturated, and rarely is there any bleed in them.
Flesh tones are natural and even.
Nonetheless, it still could have benefited greatly from anamorphic enhancement. The 5.1 audio track is also very good. There is a good use of rear surround separation, particularly notable during the thunderstorm scene. Dialogue is clear, decipherable, and for the most part maintained to the center speaker. This is not an overly dynamic sound mix, but my guess is that if you're watching this film, you're not looking for sound effects and spacial integration.
