They just don't make 'em like this anymore. This movie has that Old school suspense feel to it. The music plays a huge part in the feel of the movie and instead of loads of special effects , the actors actually act the part to pull you in. Definitely a classic movie that is worthy of adding to your collection. I remember watching this movie years ago when I was much younger and the memories of it have stayed with me over the years. I couldn't wait to get it on HD DVD and see it again. Definitely has that 80's movie feel to it , but in my opinion , the 80's brought us some of the best music and movies ever created. A really good movie to add to your suspense collection.
I've watched this movie repeatedly over the years since 1st released in theaters and no matter what format they release it in i will Always buy a copy ENJOY

They did it right. No overdone artifacting, no shadow-hiss and no wavering on stable shots. Well, not as much as usual, anyway, and less than most HD conversions. The audio is kept clean and moves appropriately. It was great seeing this movie in such clarity and with such sound. I waited a long time and it was worth it. If you expected a review of the movie, then... Nearly as good as the original! Nearly. Changes were made to keep up with a more modern look, and those changes made sense and fit well. The new characters held their own and the acting was excellent! The special effects were ground breaking in their day and hold up even today along with the best. We lose the vegetable factor of the original for a more viral/microbiological standpoint, and again, the change works well. If you liked the original black and white, and you liked movies like Dawn/Day/Night of the Living Dead, then you'll love this new classic. Though it is an old movie today, having it out in HD/5.1 is terrific!Read full review
Classic John Carpender at his best! Baby boomers, you've all seen this movie on VHS, or Standard DVD I'm sure. Freaky! For The HD-DVD re-release you are in for a treat! Very Pristine HD digital transfer. Looks as if the movie was released in this Day and age(2008). This is surprising if you consider that the same master was used for VHS and standard DVD. Colours are rich and deep, contrast is very-very good. It should prove to be an enjoyable viewing experience for those who have seen this before, and newcomers alike. I have not watched the special features, so I cannot comment, But you usually buy a movie to watch.......well, the movie itself! Wait for a dark, windy, snowy night, grab a bag of popcorn, hide the dog in the bedroom, and turn out the lights! vyper883
