In my opinion, the Turbine is a dramatically superior presentation of what the film was designed to look like. The Unearthed disc is inarguably less tweaked and managed but it uses a pathetic, life-leached source and just lets it sit there like a dog’s yard turd. I guess I prefer this particular hottie with her makeup and heels on.

No worries, but some people like it rough is all, rather than putting lipstick on that same pig

It’s okay, Nosferatu. You like ‘em pale and lifeless. Do you. Even dead chicks need love, I guess.

Aye there's no high horse here either. I always respect Geoff's opinion and usually defer to it. I had the Unearthed disc and spent a while with both of them, in this case I definitely side with Filmmaker and I think the digital trickeration made the very feeble source material come alive in a way the Unearthed disc did not. The sound is also miles better on the Turbine for me also.

I watched the Turbine yesterday. I have no idea how it's supposed to look, but I do know that I had no problem with this whatsoever.

Looked good enough to me and sounded real good. Also, I really liked the movie in itself. A bit of Mad Max/Waterworld vibe to it. Ray Liotta plays the tough guy really well. :-)

That may be, but that is off-topic

I love stumbling onto old drama. Filmmaker has a gif collection that would make a tumblrina blush. I agree with Ruined.
