Anybody else feel their transfers are kinda crap?
HORROR OF PARTY BEACH is needlessly matted - this ain't a widescreen film, if only out of basic negligence in the original photography. I haven't watched CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE yet, but apparently that fares even worse.
Their transfers of BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE and SLAUGHTER OF THE VAMPIRES are over-matted, the compression is crap on WHO CAN KILL A CHILD? and COUNT DRACULA (and I'm convinced COUNT isn't a full-frame transfer at all, but a side-crop). I hear bad things about EATEN ALIVE (compression), THE LAST HUNTER (cropped), and HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER (interlaced), as well.
Of all their releases I've seen, only CREATION OF THE HUMANOIDS/WAR BETWEEN THE PLANETS looked exceptional, and THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE the only home run (oops, except for the audio) - and that's down to Don May (who only supervised the video).
