Nah nah nah Nos! TrueHD isn't a patch on DTS HD .. not in my experience anyway. The separation, clarity and humph of DTS HD is tremendous. Hasn't Blade Runner got LPCM audio?

I've come across some really good Dolby TrueHD tracks -- can't remember which ones off the top of my head -- but I know that Blade Runner, which only has Dolby TrueHD, not LPCM or DTS-HD Master Audio, is an extremely impressive aural experience showcasing all the effects, great sound design and Vangelis' score sounds better than I've ever heard it.

Watched Carpenter's THE FOG last night on Optimum's BD. The film, obviously, is superb; up there with the greatest horror films.

The PQ was a bit shocking initially, with excessive saturation and colours bleeding out of lights on screen. But as soon as the daytime scenes started and interior shots (e.g. in the lighthouse) with fair lighting then the PQ drastically improved on any other copy I've seen. I think the picture actually got better as it went along, it was pretty impressive. I definitely recommend a BluRay upgrade for the picture quality alone. Sound is Dolby 5.1 and extras, well, there are none agh, which is crazy really when you think the 2-disc special edit DVD had a load of extras!!

Still, worth it for the picture I reckon. Especially @ £6 from a certain 2nd hand retail chain

I'd be interested to know what the quality's like on Possession as I might pick that one up myself.. Also, is the Korean dvd uncut?

the picture quality is fantastic and so is the sound. not sure if it is uncut or not, it's apparently 122 minutes but im researching it at the moment..
here's some screenshots...

EDIT: it's the Cut version.

The Reaper Man@Cult Labs 8th December 2010 06:15 PM

Nice haul Dae.:nod:
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET looks and sounds fantastic.:nod:
As does THE EXORCIST.

Anyone who has any reservations about PEEPING TOM BTW-Don't classy transfer for one of the all time classics.:nod:

And it DOESN'T come in one of those ghastly cardboard book things.:cool:

bizarre_eye@Cult Labs 8th December 2010 06:23 PM

Cheers Pedro, the picture quality does look good, might pick that up even if it is cut as the UK DVD is a bit pricey. Did you get it from ebay?

pedromonkey 8th December 2010 07:07 PM

yep off ebay...from this seller, used him before and he's pretty good...

APRILFUNK - POSSESSION DVD

I always go for the korean release if Either R1 or UK R2 are a bit to pricey.

Managed to get The Beyond, Zombie Flesh Eaters, Ilsa: She wolf of the SS, La Femme Nikita, Streets Of Fire and Beastmaster off him and they've all been decent dvds...check out his store

Hey King, does The Expendables have any ratings logos on the steelbook?

You know what Stephen, I'm not sure. I'm at work at the mo. I'm due to finish at 7, so I'll check & let you know when I get home.

Obviously the card 'sleeve' part does but not certain about the steelbook itself.

Yeah, I've seen pics on sites with the logos on the card, logos on the tin, no logos on the tin. All very confusing!

It looks to me like there isn't any logo on the front of the tin!

Good point mate, well observed. I might have to pick this one up at some point too. Haven't seen the film but looks like a good laugh.

There you go chaps, hope this helps. Oh & the title is on the spine. :)

Stephen@Cult Labs 10th December 2010 12:12 PM

Cheers Kingofwitches.....I can order it in confidence now :D

kingofwitches666 10th December 2010 12:19 PM

I've also just noticed the dvd is rated 15 as is the documentary disc. But the Blu disc is rated 18. Maybe it's because of the extras?

I was hoping it was an 18 rating because they'd reinstated the neck stabbing that they cut in order to get a 15 rating for the cinema.
