    "A Nightmare On Elm Street" InfiniFilm DVD coming

    The original release from Newline's definintely a keeper; hang on to it like you hang on to the supervised transfer of Halloween (not the Divimax edition with botched color timing). To my eyes, the re-jiggered timing on the Infinifilm is as dramatic a change, as significant a distortion of...

    "A Nightmare On Elm Street" InfiniFilm DVD coming

    David, did John Dowdell do the original Nightmare color timing (for the prints), or is he just renowned for his expertise in this area? Either way, it's an eye-popping job.

Supplementals are nice, and I enjoy them...but when a film comes out "bare bones" with a stellar transfer and people are outraged, it feels like a...

    "A Nightmare On Elm Street" InfiniFilm DVD coming

    I don't see how they're going to top the previous transfer. Plus, I actually sought out the separate releases of the Elm Street films when they dropped in price, because I occasionally enjoy referencing the full camera negative (open matte versions were included with the single discers). I...
