All the transfers are immaculate.
My personal feelings about the movies:
Christine: I disagree, I think its an excellent movie. It effectively whittles down King's good but overlong novel down to its bare essentials. Keith Gordon also gives one of the standout horror performances of the 80s.
Vampires: Not as good and I didn't like it much on first viewing back when it was released to cinemas, but now I find it a really entertaining popcorn movie, with some neat visuals and good action scenes and James Woods is always a blast.
Ghosts of Mars: Is for me one of Carpenter's weakest. The leads in particular seem miscast and the whole thing comes across as bit meh.
