Just got this in and I am quite pleased with what I am seeing. Because of the frequent use of diffusion in the cinematography, along with the fairly drab settings and art direction, this is never going to be called a "beautiful" film, but Severin's new 4K restoration is the best it has ever looked to these eyes, and I have seen ASYLUM countless times over the years. The transfer is as sharp as the film stock and lighting will allow and print defects are kept to a bare minimum; in addition, grain is well resolved and the encode is solid. Buy with confidence!
