Island of Lost Souls (Criterion Collection) (DVD, 1932)

Be careful regarding the Criterion Collection DVD

The Criterion Collection DVD I bought had serious defects in playing the DVD. I love the movie, and was delighted Criterion had supposedly restored the 1932 original print. I don't think this film got the full Criterion treatment as the quality of the film is not representative of what I have know Criterion DVD's to be. A definite disappointment in this regard. Guess because it is an older movie, this film was not regarded a top restoration job is is generally the case with other Criterion prints. This is the only Criterion DVD I have ever purchased that I was disappointed in receiving.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Criterion Collection Disappointment

Normally, Criterion Collection Blu-ray means the Gold Standard in restoration. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. While the registration and audio are good, the image is overy grainy, looking more like it was taken from a second generation print and, certainly not from an original negative. The are also fairly badly scratched shots included.
That being said, it's still a terrifically chilling film and well worth watching! I just would have preferred paying $10 for this quality, rather than $25, for a 70-minute movie. Vollständige Rezension lesen
