It's not bad it's just nothing special. I have to admit I'm in the minority when it comes to film grain. I get it and understand why its there. But i don't much like it. When it comes to a new HD transfer I will happily accept that increased detail is worth increased grain. But in this particular case I don't think the former is as evident as the latter, if that makes any sense.

King and DePalma, what's not to love? It's a film I keep buying over and over.

I really like king Adaptations in general. Even the ones considered failures like maximum overdrive and dreamcatcher

Quite a backlog of haulage. There's a load of stuff I got from Fopp back in late October when I went to see Aimee Mann (amazing!), as I'm sure you can tell, BFI and 88 Films titles were on offer. There's also a couple of Birthday sale items from PowerHouse. Criterion Flash sale order (I adore Ghost World, and wasn't going to sit and wait to see if it eventually got a UK release), a smattering of recent releases, a couple of things that were cheap on Amazon, and my Vinegar Syndrome Black Friday sale haul (which didn't get hit by customs this year). Particularly looking forward to Blood Beat (I've heard amazingly good / bad things), Demon Wind (that lenticular slip alone), Liquid Sky (the trailer sold me), and Disconnected (never seen it, but it's a slasher from a period I'm overly fond of).

I had to look Bloodbeat up as I thought I had not heard of it, then saw the trailer and poster and realised I had seen it on VHS! Good movie although bizarre at times. This was the cover on VHS.

Recent purchases after seeing others on here, they look nice and I can get rid of a couple of slim case versions I have of Soylent Green and Logan's Run.

I know I'll be in the minority, but I consider Carrie to be one of DePalma's weaker films, with the source material by King being far superior to the film in my opinion (I think the novel being a well-thumbed fave of mine growing up may have a lot to do with this). Still, it's a film I still enjoy and will be getting the standard edition when it hits the sales to replace my old MGM DVD.

Not yet. It's in my wishlist. Looking around for a decent blu-ray release. Fed up of DVD only on half the stuff released in the uk.
