To add to the bad news. I just got the Shout Factory 2-disk set "Scream Factory All Night Horror Marathon" which I bought for THE GODSEND. It too is pretty awful, looking like an interlaced transfer of an old analog master. It's soft, contrasty, and plagued by combing. It's a pity because I was excited awhile back to hear Shout had intentions of releasing THE GODSEND, but didn't foresee a throwback transfer of this ilk. It's a pretty mismatched set, the only other watchable film is WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HELEN?, and who doesn't own that already if they want it?

Not sure why SHOUT is slumming like this after putting out such respectable transfers.
