The Wolfman

[Suntory_Times]

I was just wondering if anyone knows if a different transfer was used for the Australian blu-ray compared to the US. I am just noticing a lack of grain compared to that shown in screen gabs people have taken of the us version. I am also noticing a red tint on the edge of shadows at times that doesn't seem to be mentioned in any reviews of the us edition.

Any information on this would be interesting.

Hmm, not sure. I own the UK version which is identical to ours. Will check and see if there's any variation to screen grabs of the US release.

I thought ours was identical to the US release?
