Sounds like a good movie.

It is. Very dark, seedy and disturbing. It was quite notorious in its day. It's quite close in tone to HENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER so don't expect anything glossier.

I have this on my DVR, nice to see it coming to Blu-Ray..

[rybev]

Yesssssss!!
At last, a title to get excited about.
A true favourite of mine

[KRW1]

Excellent, this is one of my most wanted. A grim film, but compelling.

[Telstar]

Very cool film. Breaks my heart every time something I like this much gets released by TT (rather any of the numerous other labels that generally put out much more complete, interesting editions at much more reasonable prices).

[Dr Strangelove]

Would you believe? filmed on actual buildings.
Interior sets at number 7
Demolished just right after the production.

Will be picking up for sure! Hopefully they include some kind of commentary.

I paid about $20 for Sony's MOD DVD-R five years ago, so $30 for a Blu isn't that bad a deal. I'll never buy another DVD-R again from Sony as so many of those titles are now coming out on Blu.

Rillington Place was actually used for the filming.......pulled down shortly after mind.

Anyone pre-order this?

[rybev]

Yes, very much look forward to seeing it again. Great film

[babybreese]

Nice, I have the Hurt commentary, the other one looks new!

Got my copy today. The quality is the best I have seen the film. Is it normal for narrow black bars to exist on the left and right side for 1.66:1 aspect ratio?

It is, but wasn't this filmed on 35mm with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio?

[bradenklune]

My copy arrived today as well. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

I suspect that the 1.66:1 is the true projection ratio despite what IMDB seems to suggest.

I found this comment on an earlier DVD (which was framed at 1.85:1) review site...

Whether the aspect ratio is the correct one is another matter – it never really feels wrong, but the Columbia logo that opens the film certainly looks cropped and the opening title itself is a little tight in frame. Given the film's age, an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 or, at a push, 1.66:1, seems likely, and TV cut-off can be an unforgiving beast. That aside, this is a very fine transfer that exceeded my own expectations of the disk.
