It will be very interesting to see what can be done with The Reptile - I havn't seen the Anchor Bay disc but the Optimum DVD features a real lo-fi image - it's watchable but it's much too dark and there's a slight green tinge throughout. John Gilling shot the film on a shoestring so it will be interesting to see how much it can be tweaked for the Blu. I think the film is one of Hammer's minor masterpieces, but a masterpiece nonetheless...
