Nice write up on the AVForums. Quote:
Well, folks, Arrow's inconsistency has been quite liberally addressed on many occasions, and not least by myself. But it gives me terrific pleasure to say that their transfer of The Funhouse has none of the issues that have plagued some of their previous releases. In fact, I was very highly satisfied and impressed with how the film looks in this AVC encode. It represents possibly the most faithful and film-like of their releases for quite some time.
Presented with its glorious 2.35:1 aspect intact and with all of its grain properly textured and film-like, though admittedly slight, Hooper's macabre yarn retains that early 80's anamorphic softness (which I like), yet delivers the garish colour scheme, some occasionally startlingly deep shadows and all the detail that you could hope for without any edge enhancement, altered timings, contrast or brightness boosting, aliasing or glitchy digital errors. If DNR has been applied, the resulting image has not been robbed of its integrity.
