jaws3dfan · 01-24-2023, 08:20 PM

Troma Entertainment will bring to Blu-ray Eric Louzil's Lust for Freedom (1987), starring Amy Lyndon, Crystal Breeze, Michelle Bauer, Melanie Coll, and William J. Kulzer. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on May 30.

Description: Somewhere... in the middle of nowhere, there is a town so sinister, that visitors who dare cross its borders become forever lost in the swamp of corruption. Criminals, mobsters and misfits run the town, and innocent visitors become their slaves. They are thrown into a broken down, rat infested prison where they are raped, tortured, brutalized and made to perform all kinds of unspeakable and perverted acts. All of this changes when Gillian Kaites comes to town. Gillian is beautiful and sexy, tough and strong and fiercely independent. After she witnesses the violent death of her boyfriend in a police shootout, Gillian decides to get out of the city. She looks for peace and quiet, but drives into hills that harbor horror and violence. For action, adventure, excitement, thrills and graphic gun battles that light up the screen, you must experience LUST FOR FREEDOM!

MY FIRST TROMA OWNED BLU-RAY!

Hailsheetar · 05-16-2023, 06:13 AM

Got mine today. Just watched. Looks alright, not sure how it compares to the VS DVD but im sure it’s the same remaster cause Troma has been using that for their digital version for a while.

I may need to upgrade my VS DVD as I just saw this one came out.

sa5150 · 08-31-2023, 06:18 AM

Is PQ at least better than the Vinegar Syndrome dvd ? I like the music , Is the sound quality as bad as the review is saying with no power at all ?

I doubt it unless VS was involved with this release behind the scenes. Troma compression can be nasty.

I have both of these and compared on Oppo 203

I don't have a cap, but the bottom line is the Troma Blu-ray is around 30% better than the VS DVD in picture quality. The grain looks kinda weird on the Troma Blu-ray but it has significantly more detail than the VS DVD which looks blurry in comparison and also has grain fidelity issues; additionally, the VS DVD has aliasing which the Troma does not. Sound on the two is about the same, poor quality for both. Both appear to be taken from exactly the same master, with all the same damage, etc.

So anyway if you don't have it already get the Troma Blu-ray. If you have the VS DVD it's like a $10 max upgrade.

Yes, both releases are taken from the master that Vinegar Syndrome created a few years back.

Wow , watched this tonight and this is one of the worst blu-ray transfers ever . Great Grim Reaper soundtrack though . Of all the crap some of these labels put out you would think VS would do this one on blu-ray . Troma is horrible at least on this one . This is a bad movie but the music makes up for it .
