While the film certainly looks stunning, in my opinion the 5.1 HD audio track on the disc is nothing short of abysmal. It's way, way too loud, and more often than not, the sound actually ends up clipping - particulary during the fire scenes near the end. The 2.1 channel is actually an improvement. This is really disappointing, as the exact same thing happened with the ''Day Of The Dead'' BR eg. the 5.1 channel was lacklustre. After this being the case twice now, I think Arrow should spend less time and effort on the packaging, and more time and effort on the HD sound. |
Sounded fine to me.....:nod: |

Agreed about the audio on INFERNO. Even theatrically, I recall issues with some of the sound (a newly struck print, apparently too). But as I have no 5.1 set-up -- and I prefer original and/or mono anyways, haha -- I'll be ok with the 2.1. Looking forward to the blu-ray, as it'll be coming with DEMONS at the same time! |

However, I am aware that this may not be the fault of Arrow, but a problem with the actual source material itself - the ''Suspiria'' BR released by Noveaux Pictures had similar audio problems. |

In saying that, the majority of discs sound top notch. It could just be a personal preference though. For me, ''Suspiria'' was too loud as it clipped in certain places, like ''Inferno''.:( |
From watching these films on DVD and now on Blu-ray Disc, I have always assumed that Dario Argento wanted the soundtracks by Goblin and Keith Emerson to be a major part of the film and stand out by being louder than regular soundtracks. In the case of Suspiria, the Goblin soundtrack forms an important part of the narrative with the well timed cries of "witch!" |
