Night 90 Blu-ray up for Pre-Order

[DjfunkmasterG]

ORDERED... 2 copies. =O)

Madness to blind buy this. No mention of any restoration and only a commentary as a special feature worthwhile mentioning. Stinks of a money grab. Buy the rights for a certain figure. Calculate how much money you want to make and then limit the release to a number of copies at a certain price. No thanks.

Agreed, but once they're gone... they're gone, and I can sell my 2nd copy for a nice profit that will pay for both copies.

You will make your money back easy, DJ. Probably much more if you hold on to it a year.

It's now sold out. ....and already selling for ridiculous prices on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Night-Of-The...item27cac32116 Sad I had to miss out on this but with a lack of special features and restoration confirmation, I can wait until it rears it's head again. Considering how fast it sold, I imagine they'll do another run before long.

Just tell yourself the difference between your DVD and the blu-ray would have probably been negligible due to the quality of the original and probably quality of any transfer job done. Even if it's not the truth (I couldn't say for certain), the DVD is pretty damn good, as is, though still woefully short on special features.

Just got a notice that the disc has shipped! Since it is shipping from VA to MD I could have it by Saturday. I'll let you know how it looks as soon as I can screen it.

[Mr.G]

Mine arrived today in the mail. I'll watch it tonight and report back. Hopefully Johnny's rubber head to the grave shot doesn't look any worse in high definition!

[Kaos]

Got mine too. I'll be watching it on my projector blown up to 100". - - - Updated - - - On facebook DJ is saying the transfer blows. Too bad. I'll check it out tonight anyway.

Got mine, here are my thoughts... No offense to the filmmakers, but the Night of the Living Dead (1990) Blu-Ray sucks ass. The picture has a blu-ish tint, like someone forgot to White Balance the camera. I have to spend 20 minutes tuning my television to get it to where I like it, and believe me it wasn't worth it. There is massive amounts of Grain and Noise Reduction which makes everyone look waxy. The Audio sounds muddy. this film was shot in Ultra Stereo sound, a defunct sound format absorbed by DTS later on. Special features, BLAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, The Commentary is recycled. The original featurette on the DVD is non-existent. Trust me this is a joke. You get the original trailer and that is it. There is a nice little booklet in the BR case that gives you a little backstory about the film, but nothing spectacular. Tis a shame this is listed as a Limited Edition... no wait, what am I saying, be glad it is limited in print because something this bad looking doesn't deserve to be on Blu-Ray. Still one of the best remakes of the original 68 Romero film, it is a shame it got such a shitty blu-ray treatment. PQ 2.5 stars AQ 2.5 stars Special Features 1 star Recommendation - Wait for a better release.

Ugh....horrible transfer. I too had to mess with my colors and the best is still too dark. Didn't anyone view this from Twilight Times?

[DjfunkmasterG]

I just wrote the following letter to SAE about this mediocre transfer... Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to lodge a complaint about the NOTLD 1990 remake Blu-Ray release from your organziation via Twilight Times. The color timing is set very unevenly resulting in a blu-tint across the entire spectrum that was not present in the films original theatrical, VHS or DVD release. After having my Plasma professionally calibrated when it was installed, I was very upset to have to play with my tuning in order to actually watch this film without cringing about the poor transfer, and the color timing by your studio. Did no one proof the transfer prior to release? It actually looks as if no one actually white balanced the 35MM camera system when shooting the film, yes that is how bad it looks. While this may not be a huge deal to you organization because of the films limited pressing, for those of us who put up good money for such a mediocre product we ask Twilight Times to actually sit down and watch the film and ask yourself, do you consider this a top notch transfer? I bet the answer would be NO. Considering the limited amount of copies, but the premium price each individual paid for a copy, we feel as though Twilight and SAE should either provide refunds or re-do the transfer and re-release the film to those with the original 3000 unit pressings. My contact information is below, and I hope to hear back from you in the immediate future. Sincerely Gary Ugarek - - - Updated - - - Screen Archives email and facebook page https://www.facebook.com/screenarchives email: info@screenarchives.com I urge you all who are let down by this Blu-ray release to send an email and complain.

The blue shift seems to be strongly present in the natural light scenes (scenes with daylight or moonlight) almost like the person timing maybe thought he was adding some sort of stylistic input... Oddly it does not appear to be noticieable in the final daylight sequence or the very begining. I found it to be strongly noticeable from the car wreck and on and at first thought my projector bulb was going out. Aside from the odd blue shift i found it looked pretty nice on my new 120" screen, i didnt find the dts transer lacking but at a premium price with no new or really any features to speak to be unforgiviable. Premium price with poor color timing is a joke.
