Evil Dead, a strange difference! (1 Viewer)

There's no way anything that sophisticated was done in '98 when the Elite transfer was done.

I was referring to TBOTD screens.

The Elite transfer looks great.

But the side by side picks that Mattias_ka has above are from the Elite LD transfer (which is also the Elite SE-DVD transfer) and the older Japanese transfer....which ones do you prefer, Marco?


I dunno Bill, the bandaid box looks pretty obscured to me. (click on image for larger view)

How can I tell the old Jap. LD from the New one? Can you post picture of the covers or catalog numbers?

I still think the Elite DVD looks the best. I actually watched the BOTD edition earlier this week (I own both the BOTD and Elite) just because I haven't watched that version in a while and I forgot how washed out it is. It's actually kind of hard to watch. The image is pretty soft, the colors are dull, and detail is lacking. The Elite transfer has solid blacks, better color, and looks sharper. Plus I prefer the full frame framing on the Elite DVD.

It's the Herald version to get if one likes the darker/scarier, bluer image + the lightning and no reframing.

J-EL, The way you feel about the Elite vs BOTD version, I now feel about thr older version vs Elite/AB DVD's/LD. I will probably never re-watch any of them just the older one.

Thanks, I figured it out this weekend by watching it. I have the BEAM one, oh well. Thanks for the caps.

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

Sorry, meant to specify the old ld transfer.

Those screens look far truer to the production in my eyes.

What's your favorite EVIL DEAD line?

Creepy movie.
