I may be wrong as The Evil Dead was also shot on Super 16 and that looks superb on Blu-ray. |
Both films were shot on 16mm (as opposed to Super 16), and even so that would have nothing to do with its being suitable for a Blu-ray - the resolution of 16mm film is still greater than HD. The original TCM is another example of a great 16mm BD transfer.
My guess would be the rights holders just haven't made an HD master available yet.
