WOW! This guy wasn't happy! Blu-ray Review: CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST His comments on the video quality are ridiculous. I think the film clearly upset him but he can't bring himself to admit it so rants rather strangely. :crazy: |

Visuals: 0.5 out of 5 Whoever convinced Shameless Screen Entertainment to release this on Blu-ray should be fired. The film is possibly the poorest transfer I have ever seen and a VHS would undoubtedly look better. Grain, distortion and a pixilated appearance mean that Cannibal Holocaust looks simply terrible in HD – perhaps this is a good thing though? Just from the screenshots alone (which don't do the moving image justice) it looks superb so I don't get that comment at all. Was he on something? or maybe he smudged butter and salt on his eyes before watching it so he could only see a blurry and grainy mess on purpose to purposely put it down as much as he could. Who knows! :crazy: |
Bloody hell! his remarks about the transfer are exactly what I was saying in another thread, about what people expect from a BD. He moans that the picture is plauged by constant grain? Well duh! You're going to get grain. I wouldn't be surprised if he moaned like hell about the Close Encounters BD as well (which was pretty grainy). He doesn't have a clue and shouldn't be reviewing anything. |
Generally, you have to give reviewers a bit of a wide margin but honestly, that guy is a ****** idiot! |
It's abundantly clear he didn't like the film and so was in the mood to downgrade every aspect of the release, particularly the picture quality which, in my eyes, was a massive improvement over the DVD. There's grain and poor camerawork? Well, hold the front page! It's a 30 year old film which was shot with handheld cameras, with the real 'documentary' on 16mm film stuck to make it more authentic -- what did he expect? |
I love this, right at the top of the review : Quote:
