I have lost the last remaining respect for BU. Especially when Lustig ****ed up his own transfer for "Maniac" with the horrible new colors, contrast, DNR and milky "black" level. When the trailer in 1080p looks AMAZING in comparision, with amazing colors, blacks and fine-details, you know something went horribly wrong during the mastering. And a reason why I sold the BD and rebought the DVD that had the old superior THX transfer.
BU also released a couple of DVD´s back in the day that also falsely said they came from the negatives.
This new ZFE blu-ray will probably be proof of their lies, which will be the final nail in BU´s coffin, and good riddance  |
Glad to hear i'm not the only one who though maniac was a rubbish transfer. I have it for the extras but I watch the anchor bay dvd on upscale when I want to watch the film!
That said Vigilante, Torso, Toolbox murders, City of the living dead, The nesting are all excellent discs from blu-underground.
