Eh, Scanners is a great movie and as for taste in horror I don't think a good horror flick would be "Fear Dot Com". The plot sounds childish and stupid but thats just my opinion and others may think different. And as for the "LMAO!!!!!"

I thought this release was pretty decent, but yeah, the frame rate problem did show a bit. Anyway, definitely the best release so far so take it if you haven't seen it... December should be the month for this on DVD though...

I'd give this release a 8/8/10.

Thanks TCF.

Angry Audio is terrible....

You can not even watch this movie the audio is so bad. Video is pretty good but the screener already released by TCF is much better. Why even try to beat a vhs-screener. Especially if you are TCF who has the best rls with vhs-screener. Loved the screener and hated this.....

FearDotCom was good... if not almost great (considering the genre) save for the fact that Malone ALWAYS fucks up the end with special fx...

The frame rate was a bit choppy but not bad enough to spoil the movie, picture quality was fine otherwise, and i had no problems with the sound either.
not perfect but still definitely worth a look.
I enjoyed the film.

TCF does it again

Once again another awesome release from 1 of the best groups in the biz. U guys are always rockin us with great quality. keep up the good werk. This kills the workprint which was borderline crap but watchable if u want to see it one time and toss the disk away.

Having watched the film, I can say the sound is poor, nothing a good amp with noise reduction can't help, but I've already posted about the frame rate, but having watchewd the whole thing I can say that the "Workprint" is better even if the picture quality isn't a patch on this one and it is missing 30 secs.
PS. I was going to drink 24/7's beer but I found out it was actually Kaliber

My advice stick with the "Workprint" or even better go to the cinema and watch it as god intended

1 - Frame Rate. If you have to convert it to 23 or 29fps in order for it to comply with VCD standards, why the hell dont you shoot it in that framerate in the first place? Maybe TCF was using a slower shutterspeed to achieve the brilliant colors that were achieved in this Telecine, however what is the point when the framerate conversion ruins the watchability of the VCD?

2 - Audio Quality. Crappy encoder? Crappy technique? The audio just plain sucks.

I cant believe anybody would consider releasing this after viewing the final disc.

not bad

picture quality is great, but strangly jerky.. sound could be much better considering it's a telecine.. 'sounds like you're listening to it inside a barrel or something.. vid = 7 : aud = 6

I agree with the others. The framerate is noticeably low, and the audio is difficult to hear. Stick with the Workprint release for now.

Are we all watching the same VCD? I must say this is very disapointing from what the pics made me think. They should not have released it. First the frame rate is really messed up, isn't that apparent on a computer but sucks on a DVD player. Second the aspect ratio isn't even close. And third the audio is bad to the point where it is painful to watch. I never had the workprint but it had to be better.

this post is ridiculous.

first of all, this is a TC, not a TS, so why you're talking about 'shooting' it in the first place is beyond me.

secondly, when you find a video camera that shoots at a frame rate of either 23 OR 29 fps, you let me know. although shutter speed is variable, afaik all video cameras have a framerate of either 25 or 29.976 fps.

the "point" of framerate conversion (if any is done; usually, if the source is ntsc vhs, the framerate is left alone) is to make the vid compliant with vcd standards. in order to do this, it must be either at 23.976 (ntsc-film), 25 (pal), or 29.976 (ntsc).
