My Thoughts:
Audio:NOTE: Keep in mind that I have a very old surround sound system that desperately needs replacing!Going by the equipment I have... I really have no complaints. very clear audio. The background music does not overwhelm you and drown out the dialog or sound effects. So all good here.
Video:NOTE: I have a TV that is less then a year old, but keep in mind all I have is a 20inch standard TV that only cost me just over $100.The video is crisp and clear. No dust or artifacts. No complaints what so ever.
Extras:Compared to the last After Dark Horrorfest DVD I watched (Gravedancers) this DVD really has very little to offer when it comes to extras. All this release has is a Commentary Track (Which I saved for another time), Trailers including After Dark Horrorfest Compilation - Dark Ride - The Hamiltons - Reincarnation - Gravedancers - Penny Dreadful - Wicked Little Things... and then there is the Behind the Scenes Featurette.
The Trailers all look to be good horror movies... all coming from The After Dark Horrorfest Collection. I am actually looking forward to collecting them all... all except Reincarnation anyway... as it is a Japanese Horror and don't have English Dubs. It does have English Subtitles but I can't keep up with both the movie and the subtitles at the same time... I am just too slow of a reader for that.
Unrest: Behind the Scenes is a 7min. featurette talking about the usual idea for the movie, the actors and crew involved and the making of the movie. It isn't a bad featurette... but nothing special either. Your usual making of fare.
Movie:I don't know what I was expecting going into this movie... but I must admit that it exceeded my expectations. I will admit this is a more slow-paced horror movie... which I normally don't care for as much. But it really seemed to work for this movie. It was slow-paced but it kept the suspense through-out the movie so that helped. This is another movie I can truly say I am glad I added to my collection. Looks like I have another series of DVDs I will have to collect... bring on the next After Dark Horrorfest DVD!
