Yahoo! My Deep Red BD arrived today from HMV (at last! ... they aren't usually this slow)
Well I feel really really bad for this, but I am a little underwhelmed! Sorry guys! I have been comparing it to my AB US DVD and I don't really see much of an improvement image wise. There is a lot of dirt present which I hoped would have been cleaned up a little. Now, I must say that I never seen a film as old as Deep Red transferred to BD so I cannot really comment as to how well older films should look. But comparing this to the BD of Suspiria - Suspiria trounces this release image wise. I suppose it all depends on the source material of course, and I know this is the best Deep Red is EVER going to look in it's complete form - but it still does leave me feeling a little underwhelmed. Audio wise I was expecting both English and Italian 5.1 audio for the Director's Cut, but we only have 2.0 for the English track! Quite disappointing really as the Italian mix on the disc sounds terrific .. but I would like to have had the same for the English audio. Now these are my first impressions ... and I am tired after a stressful day at work, so I will of course re-visit and watch in full when I am better suited guys.
Sorry guys, but that's how I feel about the release at the moment
