A limitation then. If film-makers of the past had access to film stock that had no visible grain, it's a safe bet that they would have used it.

Actually, every single blu-ray has DNR applied. But as I say, if they ever decide to go the way of removing all grain from tranfers, I'll be binning my player.

Eh, Predator is an abomination. The only reason I have it, is for the extras.

And Losing detail is unnacceptable to me. Looks like the companies will never be able to please everyone.

I'm more worried about colour timing/contrast issues. The BU disc looks so... hot. Skin tones especially appear overly pink. Arrow's release is likely to be struck from the same source as BU's, but a more natural colour scheme would be welcome.

And leak aside... this is pretty exciting.

We all know that if someone released the most grainy, detailed BD ever and put an Irish cert on the cover you wouldn't buy it

I'm (slowly) beginning to accept the Irish certs on our covers Pete!

Nice to see this released over here but having just got the BU disc I can't see how the transfer can be improved and in any case I've given up on the old "double dipping" game these days.

Unless this comes with a new Ian McCulloch commentary it's a pass for me, but glad it's out for the collectors.


Now how about giving us Zombie Creeping Flesh to stand along side it?

You're right, it looks even worse than people say.

I'm still truly grateful that Stephen recommended the grainy first edition of Predator a few weeks ago, because it looks the way Predator should look like.

Greetings!

Haven't seen the infamous predator transfer but I'd take grain all day long over the beyond-disappointing wax-laden mess that was the Dracula Prince of Darkness transfer.

I'll wait for info on the transfer before deciding whether to sell BU's zombie and get this. I would prefer an arrow version for the 4 artwork panels/booklet/extras (assuming they release a limited edition version).

There are so many great covers for this film.
