The Mothman Prophecies (2002)

[Brown]

I have the blu-ray from Australia. It works fine in Region A. No problem with the extras, too.

Excellent.
Ordering now.
I guess from eBay. Two sellers are somewhat close to me in NY

And no lossless audio. How is that even possible anymore?

It's not the freshest of transfers, but that is somewhat appropriate considering tbe tone and atmosphere of the movie. The disc ports most, if not all, of the DVD extra features, but I can't be certain.

There may be a moment of forced German subs, too. I know this occurs on one of the Australian imports I own, but I can't remember which one.

I think it's worth buying nonetheless.

Once or twice you see the forced subs, but blink and you miss them. The transfer looks just fine too, in my opinion.

This is a horror film that gets better with age. It's drenched with atmosphere, and the climax of the movie is just an excellent payoff.

Yeah.
This Aussie version is probably sourced from the German one.
I just tracked my order. I'll receive it tomorrow already.

So funny. I was always waiting for this on blu-ray. Every time I checked, there was exclusively only the German disc.

Never even knew there was an Australian release. Pleasant surprise

Does the AU version have any special features? If not ill just grab the 2 disc DVD special edition.
