Title: Awful transfer - is this a bootleg?
Review: The actual film is very good, but the transfer on this DVD is rather horrible. The original source appears to have been a somewhat worn 16mm print with scratches and dirt that apparent then was copied onto VHS tape. Was this taped off the air? Visual artifacts are everywhere and there is poor resolution and muffled sound. The actual DVD is a DVD-R and there are no menus or chapter stops of any kind. No copyright notice either, although I do not think this film is in the public domain. The product description is what is printed on the back cover, with the incomplete sentence the same. It simply stops abruptly. Synergy Entertainment seems to be located in someone's bedroom, with this DVD-R produced in small numbers. This is the full 110 minute original release, it has that in its favor as the PAL copy available in the UK is the American cut version.
Is the review positive or negative?
