Night of the Living Dead 3D Blu-ray (1968) [Region Free] [BD-R] - Blu-ray Forum

I just watched the Plan D conversion of Night of the Living Dead which is in the original black and white thankfully. I hadn't seen the film for years so it felt very fresh in 3D. The conversion keeps everything behind the screen so is not as strong as I would have liked though I think there was a little bit of mild pop out and the depth and separation was pretty good. Most of the film takes place inside a house so boxy 3D suits it and creates a distinct 3D space.

I spotted a few errors here and there but nowhere near as many as Night of the Living Dead Re-Animation for example. Though that one had pop-outs the integration of CG effects made my eyes water. Here almost everything looks natural. A lighter flame, hair, 3D TV, the side of a head turned at a certain angle - just the odd brief thing now and then my brain was telling me doesn't look quite right. The source material was in great condition and the conversion overall is really solid, there's notable volume there and my brain didn't revert back to 2D mode while I was watching it.

I never saw the Passmorelab conversion that led to the creation of this thread but I doubt it was as good as this one. I won't be buying this film in 4K and I don't think I'll be watching my Criterion Blu-ray edition in a hurry either. Wish I hadn't bought it now to be honest, I have watched the film in 2D enough times so it's only going to be the 3D version I watch from now on.
