When yesterday or today and if today where do you live? It's best to just check your tracking information.

I second Clark Kent....I cannot get over how clean the image itself is! What an absolute surprise! The sound quality is also incredibly well mixed...anyone who did not pre order this title will be sorry.

Between this, TCM2 and Shout Factory's incredible re-release and release of Halloween II and III (respectively of course)...this is shaping up to be some Month!

I'm glad to hear it looks so good. I can't wait to get my copy on Monday.

Can someone that has received it get us some pictures of the front/back/interior?

[Lemmy Lugosi]

Oh hell YES! It's great to read these reviews from you folks who already got their order. Thanks for posting!

Just checked my shipping. It's finally on it's way.

The registered mail to Canada is $15.00 (it's no faster than letter mail...possibly slower). The express mail option to Canada is $25.00...and we don't even know if any of the express packages have shipped yet. So, for $25.00, you might get your disc a day earlier (and I wouldn't count on it).

If it's worth $25.00 for a chance to possibly get your disc a day faster than normal delivery, I salute you as true superfan.

For me, that money saved on postage buys a copy of TERROR TRAIN. And I can wait an extra day to see NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

I have now watched this BD. The audio is a real surprise, I had forgotten how well-designed the mix on NOTLD90 is for a 1990 production. It sounds great in 5.1 DTS-HD MA. The original theatrical trailer has also been included.

The 88 minute movie is encoded in AVC on a BD-25. Given how dark this film is in many scenes, I would have wished the AVC encode had averaged closer to 30 Mbps than what we get here, which is likely closer to 20 Mbps. It's not common, but a few walls in the house produce chroma noise, which is usually a compression problem. Spots of banding in one or two shots are also evident.

If you've seen any of Sony's catalog Blu-rays released between 2007 to 2010, you'll have a pretty good sense of how the transfer looks. There is a modicum of edge enhancement, though I doubt most will be bothered by it, especially on smaller screens under 50". Grain is largely left untouched, though some of the establishing shots are clearly second-unit stuff with heavier grain. My guess is the film elements were scanned at 2K by Sony, around 2006 to 2008. There's virtually no sign of print damage or debris.

What impressed me the most was the visible resolution for a catalog title. Every ounce of the horror effects can be plainly seen, from the oozing blood to white pus. The inky black levels help to establish the mood, though the contrast is a bit limited. It appears the color timing has remained similar to the original DVD. If I had my druthers, I think this might have been a case where marginally brightening the image (changing the gamma or something else) would have slightly improved clarity and definition.

Overall NOTLD90 looks better than I expected and a substantial increase in video quality over the DVD. This is now the definitive version of the movie and fans will be upset they missed out on the pre-order. Under a 10-point scale for picture quality, I'd assign it a 7.5 or 8.

Thanks for the early review, I can hardly wait, but being in the great white north it will be at least a week before mine arrives.

Let's do this !

For some reason, they sent me the same shipping conf email twice. I guess I should check my CC account.

The disc also includes the isolated score and English subtitles for the Deaf. Interestingly enough, the BD is authored with BD-Java but actually retains the spot you stopped the movie at, so when you go back to play after stopping it, the disc gives you the option to resume instead of sitting through the menu again.

Where are you people living that you got these already?!? I'm not TOO far (WV) from Virginia and I prolly won't get mine till tomorrow or Monday..

Same thing happened to me. Both emails were about 10 minutes apart.
