3D Flesh for Frankenstein 2D Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

I know its not 3D but the DVD of Flesh for Frankenstein looks better than the Blu-ray

It certainly does!

I nearly bought this when I was in Australia a few months ago - it was only AU$10. Glad I didn't though - the Image DVD looks so much better. The BD looks like a bad upscale.

This is one of my most-wanted Blu-rays. I'd love Criterion to revisit it (I bought their LD in '97) and give it the proper treatment, with 2D and 3D presentations. It doesn't seem likely though...

DE Blu-ray is a lot better. Need 3D version though.

Sorry, bad post

I've got an original 35mm 3D print of this title that's badly faded to pink but some of the effects are pretty good even with the fading. I haven't screened it since I converted to Dolby filters in my 3D lens. I think I'll drag that back out and see what it look like now. It's been a couple of years since I've watched it.

Too bad none of them is from the other "eye". That Shock Entertainment blu-ray looks awful. Yikes!

Cool. I've never seen the Dolby system. I assume it looks good, yes?

Yes Greg. The Dolby 3D has become my favorite over ReadD. I also love the ability to be able to use a white screen over the silver version. I've also discovered that the Dolby filters seem to reduce the appearance of crosstalk or misalignment in 35mm 3D prints. This of course has nothing to do with the Blu Ray 3D offerings.

Watched our 35mm print last night. It wasn't as faded as I remembered from the last screening and I was thrilled the new Dolby 3D filters really made the movie easier to watch. I had forgotten how much blood and gore there was in this movie!!

The film is available on bluray in Australia but only in 2D, Very cheap price also.

Lemme know when someone produces a 3D blu.

2D = No Sale.

I agree. Having seen this in 3D, a 2D version would be a huge let down.

Bob mentioned in another thread:

"I'm sorry to say it but stereoscopically, this film is a mess.

Colonel Robert V. Bernier was a 3-D expert with 30+ years of experience when he was hired as Technical Advisor on the film. He built the Space-Vision Trioptiscope lens and knew what you could and could not do with it.

Morrissey ignored his expertise and the results speak for themselves. The film is loaded with shots like this which are very hard on the eyes and cannot be fixed."

Did you notice this?

Honestly, no. For sure there were errors in the 3D photography. I wish I knew which reel that example was in. I'd go back and give it another look. I did leave my seat a couple of times so I didn't see EVERY second of the movie.
