The Bad Seed Blu-ray Review

Wow, didn't see this one coming. Glad to see Warner still pumping out the catalog titles (no matter how randomly

)

bigshot · 06-15-2011, 05:05 PM

Wow! An incredible movie, and it looked great on DVD, so it should look fantastic on blu.

CheapChildren · 06-15-2011, 06:38 PM

I like the cover, modern, but not absurdly so.

True I have seen much worse. It isn't too bad at all. The darkness etc reminds me of the opening credits of the film.

AKORIS · 06-15-2011, 07:02 PM

nice to see-- Warner Bros. is really doing a great job with catalog titles!!

DaiShuryou · 06-15-2011, 07:05 PM

More classic horror ftw.
Warner is really one of the best studios when it comes to catalog titles.

BluPat · 06-15-2011, 08:08 PM

Fantastic! I have loved this movie for years and have owned the VHS and DVD versions for years. Will get this day ONE! Excellent film. Love the artwork as well.

It's just that Patty McCormack's eyes are actually doing that...

I remember her as an adult actress, she did have "poppy" eyes!!

I do hope the 1.37 is a mistake. The DVD was open matte - this film was shown everywhere in 1.85 - it was 1956 and 90% of the theaters in the US no longer had the capability to show 1.37 - and a simple look at the DVD will show you all manner of unnecessary head room. If it's in the wrong ratio it's a big pass from me, but I'm hoping the specs here are just a guess, which is what frequently happens on sites such as these.

Arkadin · 06-15-2011, 11:05 PM

what aspect ratio is the current dvd in?
it will most likely be the same I would think.
btw: the dvd artwork is perfect--why change it??

Ditto, Patty was the perfect little sociopath.

I can still hear poor ol' Henry Jones shrieking even now .....

The current DVD is open matte and is incorrect. Clearly.

I thought that was interesting when I saw the site article. A 1.85:1 AR would seem to be more correct for this film, given that it came out in 1956, so I find it curious that WB would have issued the DVD in open-matte...
