Night of the Living Dead (1990) - Out of Print

I think they took the BLU-ray transfer way too far.

Man, the trailer on the blu-ray looks so much better than the film itself (in terms of color and brightness).

Christ I'm getting sick of 5.1 remixes. S*** like this always happens. The original 2.0 surround would have been fine, and still used all channels of peoples fancy set ups. MoC and Criterion always opt for the 2.0 surround, or at least offer it as an alternative (like with Rumble Fish)

Instead of feeding the trolls on this board any more than I already have, thought id post this for true fans of the flick here.

A couple weeks ago I went on a Romero road trip in Pittsburgh since Monroeville Mall was closing down Penney's.

Went to Monroeville, the Dawn of the Dead airfield, the Creepshow house from the wraparound segment, the redneck house from Dawn, Evans City Cemetery from NOTLD, the cemetery from Night '90 *fyi, no it wasnt blue there*, plus I got to check out the house from Night '90 *from afar at least* Heres a few pics of it how it looks now:

Also you have to remember in this film some of the lighting was really bad an no its not an excuse but that plays a huge factor too with a restoration

I just want to state once again you should watch it and make your own mind up. The PQ is really good I can see beads of sweat on Tony Todds forehead I've never noticed before and this is all during the "blue" scenes which just look like darkness to me (inside the house is dark cause the lights aren't on at first) all just IMO

lol you're much less intrusive than I. I pulled right into the driveway... There was a man outside working and he was very friendly and let us take pictures.

Yes they're dark but the intention behind making these scenes darker makes sense. As long as the colour is still there I'm happy, and it appears to be. These are a huge difference compared to the others, which looked like they'd been dipped in blue paint beforehand

An I thought I loved this film odriley

Lets get some screenshots from the trailer happening.

[xiaNaix]

There's an interview with Tom here where he mentions that the Blu-Ray is coming out...

http://eastcoasthorrorgroup.com/east...ws-tom-savini/

Starts about 35min. in to the interview. The way he talks, it sounds like he had no part in putting the disc together.

PQ easily a 3.5. Actually watch it before forming an opinion.

When a person dies, their flesh tone become a bluish grey tint. The undead don't have a completion as if the person is alive. So therefore the colorization of the blu-ray is accurate because zombies are not suppose to have flesh tones because they're dead.

Well you got lucky. I didnt want to risk it and im glad I didnt because a few friends of mine from facebook went there this past weekend and decided to drive up the driveway. They were met by the owner coming out of the house with a rifle. So they drove back out real quick and went to the side road (where I took my pics) and the owner shot his rifle. They werent sure if it was a warning or if it was at them.

Mustve been a bad day. yikes.

Why does there have to be a side? Isn't it ok to say some parts may look ok and some not so much?
