I watched the Blu-ray last night. Bloody hell, it was like seeing it for the first time! The detail and image quality was incredible. And the sound! For the first time the music cues faded rather than just stopped dead, which was always quite jarring. Why was the audio different this time round? I'm not complaining, it's fantastic.
Nice array of extras too - loved the Q&A with Giovanni and Catriona. Funny how neither of these genre heavyweights actually like horror movies! Lovely people though. And I loved Naomi's little animations - I was trying to think what they reminded me of and then it came to me - they seem heavily influenced by German expressionist cinema of the 20's. Or maybe I just have a strange perception of things!
All-in-all an essential package and one that every fan should have in their collection. This Blu-ray sets a new benchmark for the format, I reckon.
