Translation of the review by Google:
The new scanning of the film "Dracula, Prince of Darkness" from 1966 is outstanding. While it is logical and understandable that is expected from a nearly 45-year-old film is not a perfect transfer, however, the focus is very good. Even on large viewing areas as the transfer of many details that can affect this image is sharp and detailed. The colors are for a film of this age also succeeded very well and naturally, a bit more brilliance and dynamics, but this would not hurt. The contrast creates a natural balance between light and dark areas. The transfer slightly noisy, the compression is successful. While shows homogeneous surfaces and fine structures mild compression-related disturbances, but these are never flashy or even disturbing. Perfection is expected of "Dracula, Prince of Darkness" and no one can offer them the new sampling of the Special Edition does not - for the great age of the film but delivers this fantastic image quality that will satisfy at all times and often impressed.
(I just replaced "Blood of Dracula", the litteral translation of the German title, by the correct English title)
Incidentally you can also get this French edition:
http://www.amazon.fr/Dracula-Prince-t%C3%A9n%C3%A8bres-Andrew-Keir/dp/B000BC81DU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294996843&sr=1-1
The price is cheap (9€ = + or - $12), double layer, in English with removable French subs, format 2.35 compatible 16/9. It has some bonus but if you are first interested for the movie, it's an excellent choice.
