Just watched The Washing Machine that Shameless released in the tin.

I was quite appalled by the quality of the release though. Every sound effect played twice, like there was an echo to them all the time! Dialogue and music were fine though. There was a constant low hum coming from the subwoofer the entire duration of the movie as well.

Is everyone's copy like that, or did I somehow get a messed up one?

That's pretty sad. Wonder if they checked the film at all before putting it out.

Me too, nobody has said on the Facebook group about it, but that's no great surprise

I suppose everyone bought it just for the packaging then.

Got to be honest, I didn't notice this but the sound setup I ave isn't exactly great.

That's interesting, it was extremely noticeable and annoying for me. Made it very difficult to focus on the movie itself.

What sort of setup you have?

I have a dedicated hometheater room with a pretty good 5.1 setup (with some effort put to acoustics as well). Not one of those "sets" you can get, but separately bought front/middle/surround speakers (can't remember the brand now!) and a BK Electronics Monolith-DF subwoofer. Used a PS3 to play the movie itself. They're all hooked to a Onkyo TXSR608 AV-receiver.
