    Christ! That image difference is like night and day, literally!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Good god, Bass! That's a scary comparison.

    Soooooo glad I came across my copy of the Night '90 DVD years ago.

    How anybody could look at those images and think the left one is acceptable is beyond me.

    Ditto. Savini must be off his bonce if he thinks that's an acceptable image!

    Meanwhile, the DVD copy that I bought for £3 is perfectly fine.

    There was no way I was ever going to buy this Blu-Ray anyway. I enjoy the movie, but there's a few things that really irritate me (such as Judy Rose - good lord that character pissed me off sooooooooo much, she's all over the bloody shop; one of the most inconsistent characters I've ever seen in a movie).

    Supposedly the video expert they hired, some guy called Jim O'Rear, who has apparently been doing video colouring/grading for over 25 years in big main stream films, convinced him it was the right thing to do.

    He's also an actor in Night 90. He played the rear axle of Ben's car. He's only in it for a second, mind.

    What a legend.

    If some dumbass convinced Savini that Blu-Ray transfer was the way to go, I have definitely lost respect fo Savini's judgement when it comes to film.

    If anything, Tom shoul dhave desaturated the colors, not put a smurfy filter across the film.

    BTW< does anyone have a link to the Wal-Mart program. if I am going to own HD versions of Night 90 I want it too look right not this fucking crap.

    The dvdtalk review says it was the DP:

    When director of photography Frank Prinzi was approached to oversee this latest transfer of Night of the Living Dead two years ago, presumably as part of an aborted twentieth anniversary release, he decided to take the film in a very different direction visually.

    Neil speaks sense on this one.

    And so now it's the DP's fault? The story seems to keep changing on this one, and it's strange how none of these tidbits were ever put out there before ... also stranger is the fact that they didn't even put up a single screenshot. Hmmm ... it's as if they knew it looked ruddy awful and they just hoped nobody would care.

    I assume there's no shots on the rear of the case? Would be funny if they're from the original nice and bright version, rather the smurf'ed version!

    An interesting question - what about it folks who have bought a copy and have it to hand?
