The Beyond (Fulci)

[KRW1]

I see you lucky lot have a release of Fulci's The Beyond down there. Is it any good? Anyone have any idea how it compares to the Arrow release? (only in terms of transfer, not too bothered about extras).

[Davidian]

Cant really comment about the transfer but I can give you the BDinfo:

That doesn't mean a huge amount to me, I'm not too technical, but thanks very much for posting. Looks like it is 1080p, at least. I think I'll chance it.

Looks to be the same video transfer. Only difference appears to be one less audio track on the AU version.

[KRW1]

Excuse my ignorance but is it possible to tell if there's vast amounts of edge enhancement that way? That was the only thing that bothered me about the Arrow version.

[rip63]

I have the local release, and according to the credits on the disc, it's a port of the Arrow version.

[KRW1]

Oh dear, oh well thanks for all the replies.
