I quite liked the look of Maniac on BD. It's a dirty, grubby little film shot on the cheap, and it looks exactly like that. I think the BD has a more filmic quality to it than previous DVD incarnations. But that's just me, I'm happy with it, but then again I'm easily pleased.  |
Fair enough, but I still maintain, the old anchor bay tin has more detail on upscale than the blu, compare the scene of tom savini leaving the club with his lady, on the blu a lot of the details seem blurry while the old anchor bay edition looks a lot clearer.
