Cannibal Girls

[kinoeye]

Just picked up Cannibal Girls, the 70's Canadian cult classic from HMV for $14.99. Had no idea it was out on blu. Released by Warner Music Canada. Not in the database on this site yet.

Okay - here's what I can tell you having taken a glance at it.

It's a 1.78 transfer, not a 1.85 as listed on the back.

Audio is mono.

Picture is pretty good all things considered! Remember this is a low budget B movie, the cinematography isn't that hot to begin with so sharpness and colour quality tend to be inconsistent, I blame this on the original film however. Blacks look good, grain is definitely there. No glaring sign of DNR or other digital "clean up". Has a 16mm feel to it, although imdb list it as 35mm. Detail is decent. It does show a fair bit of damage in terms of scratches, dirt and specs. These aren't horrible, it just doesn't have that "cleaned up negative" look. It's what you'd expect from a cult Canadian film after 40 years of storage.

Extras:

The option to play the film with the original AIP "warning bells" soundtrack.

Interviews with Ivan Reitman, Daniel Goldberg and Eugene Levy

Orientation - a short film by Reitman

Original Trailer

Overall, I recommend.

Thanks so much for the run down of the release I will have to order this for sure. I've never seen it but have been curious about the film.

ANy chance you can post any images of the front / back cover? The ones on this site so far are really small and very low resolution.

Also is the AUDIO Uncompressed or just standard Mono?

Oh my, awesome find! I haven't seen this film, but I love Eugene Levy (well, before the American Pie days). I'll add it to my CDN exclusive thread right now.
