  • Notes:
    Original pressings were Region All.
    High definition source, restored by Don May of "Synapse Films". Some quotes from him about the new transfer (source: HTF - hometheaterforum):
    *The new HD transfer was not created from 35mm materials. It was created from the original 16mm vault materials.
    *The older version was so noise-reduced (with DVNR) that most of the grain was removed and smoothed out, along with detail and sharpness.
    *The grain was there because of the film stock used. Tobe himself told that there was no conscious decision to make the film look "documentary-style", with the graininess, etc. He was trying to film the best movie he could. The heavy grain structure you've seen on prints, etc. were caused by a combination of the film stock used and the cheap 35mm blow-ups done by the distributor at the time.
    *The framing was constantly checked throughout the transfer (exactly 1.78:1 - per the request of "Dark Sky Films") and there may be some shots where the framing isn't EXACTLY like the old one.
