There is a shitstorm going down about this release at the moment. Apparently, the image is very dark and very blue. Twilight Time are denying anything wrong at there end. Here is a link to a forum, pretty much at the start of the problems. (I hope its ok to post this).

(Link Removed) Please, no links to any other forums are allowed, Thank you.

Heck even the Trailer on the Blu Ray comes with the normal color.

Hopefully they'll replace it with a better transfer.

It looks OK to me from your pic ocielz, but a little dark.
Are you happy with it? Do you know how it compares to the DVD?

To be honest I like the DVD version/Trailer colors much better, this one has that bluish Tint thru out and the beginning day time scenes are terrible. I would like to watch it with the correct colors just as I remember it, just like the way it looks on the last 2 pictures above. I would hold off on opening yours and wait, hopefully they'll give us a proper transfer.


Also reading some of the post from that website, if you have your TV calibrated, there should be no movie that needs you to change the settings. Not once have i had to change my settings in order to enjoy a movie.

Yeah, i read through the posts too, and it sounds like there is definitely something wrong with the transfer, whether it was done on purpose or not. Disappointing to hear. I'll wait it out and see what happens. I can always watch my DVD in the meantime

Oh great. first cabin in the woods from HMV and now this.

I was gonna wait to watch this but since all the hype I had to have a look.
I gotta say guys....
My disc looks pretty good. Nowhere near as dark as the pics posted on here.
I even caught myself trying to pick on things but overall mine looks good for a 20+ film. The resolution is definitely better than the original.
Maybe I just got lucky.

Hopefully Arrow in the UK will release this at some point and show Twilight Time how it's done

Latest update from Twilight Time on my FB page.

Twilight Time DVD Label
UPDATE: As promised, we have discussed NOTLD at the studio and are able to verify via SPE's Mastering Department, that our Blu-ray is indeed the approved transfer from 2010, generated for the film's 20th anniversary, and done in consultation with the film's director of photography. As you will have also seen on this page and elsewhere on the internet, director Tom Savini has now had a chance to view the end product and declared it "fantastic." As we are aware that some fans of the film will remain disappointed, our offer of a full refund still stands if you wish to return your copy. However, we would caution you with this thought: this is a limited edition run of 3,000 copies, and the title is sold out. Right or wrong, it is a collector's item, and there are no guarantees this title will ever be repressed. Going forward, if TT encounters another situation where the new transfer differs greatly from the old, we will bring that to collectors' attention prior to the disc being offered so that you may know of the changes beforehand. Thanks for all your support.

Best,

Nick Redman and Brian Jamieson.

So, seems its the correct transfer. I will find out next week, when my mate (who now lives in Florida) is back for a holiday in UK and he is bringing my copy over with him.

With different covers to choose.

I just saw the movie and i gotta say that the blueish tint that has everyone talking is IMO not that bad...yes its darker, and yes its different, but it actually darkens the mood, which in the case of this movie, works out for it.Im a big zombie/Romero fan and my first zombie movie i saw was actually this one, so i know the original like the back of my hand, but i guess most people were used to seeing the movie look a certain way, and then seeing the new blu ray a bit differently comes as a bit of a shock, especially the hardcore fans. In the end, theres nothing we can do about it, and what im gonna do is watch the blu ray at night to give it a dark, gloomy look and when nostalgia kicks in, ill just pop in the dvd.

maybe its my TV, but there seems to be nothing wrong with my copy.

I didn't have a problem either.
Now I went and ordered the DVD so I can compare them myself on my TV.
Thanks guys.

I have the DVD and I like the blu ray better, the lighting just makes for a better mood.

 

[Wreck]

supposedly unedited photo comparison ... thats crazy ... I havent watched mine yet but hope its not that bad.

 

[ocielz]

^^^^I prefer the Lighter Original Release, that's why I'm holding onto my DVD
