Colors are a little dull. Slight flicker. Audio seemed direct.

grabbed the orc release, picture is pretty nice, especially considering standards set recently, audio to me sounds rather tinny but definitely clear. grab this one for sure.

8.5/8

Sucks, the limited amount of movies that are bootlegged in good quality these days. When we do get good quality, its a copy of a movie nobody in the theatre wanted to see.

This copy...pretty good for a movie i never heard of...kinda dark 7/8/

Based on the sample and the standard

This rls and the simultaneous ORC rls are pretty much identical in quality. And that is very high.

V 8

A 7.5

M ? Will view the ORC rls for the simple reason it's 40% smaller. This movie sure cost a lot of money to make. Let's hope it's good.

Based on the ORC release, video is very nice for a TS slight brown tint, but very clear.

Audio is direct, but with some static on the high end & a few cracks and pops throughout.

Overall very nice first release (and a TS at that)

As a TS
V=8
A=7
M= Still watching (looks good though)

Don't get all happy about this one, it's not that good.

V/6

A/4 There is a limiter, or noise gate filter on here that ruins the whole movie. The gate closes up too soon making dialog inaudible.

M/7 That's only because I know the story, and like the old hollywood setting.

Still havent seen this one. So is it really THAT much better than the ORC release?

Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged

I'm still looking for this one, its real hard to find. Is it even worth the time?

Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged

seriously overrated,as with any telecine lately,considering the quality of pic on garfield 2,this is 5/4/?.lack of any quality releases and new reviewers bumping up merely average releases,personaly both this and the covenant are not worth the download let alone a rave.

p.s. people rushing in to get first post havent even watched a scene i bet they just saw a jpeg.please the ratings are to help others not im first and im cool.

I assume the HafVCD and ORC releases are the same. Judging by the ORC release, I agree with the noise gate comment, even the beginning of some dialogue is barely audible, and the whole movie sounds muddy. Vid's a bit cropped, and not too impressive. A lot of DePalma purists rave about how every scene in this is "shot beautifully" but is pretty lost on this version.
6/4/7 (pretty faithful to the book, a little too jumpy to the big screen, though)

HafVCD and ORC are both really bad, they do look the same in quality. I'm hopeful for a watchable release but wont count on it.
Thanks for the attempts though.
