Title: 5 star film -- 1 star DVD
Review: This is an extraordinary film -- one of the best Italian horrors out there. Two scenes in particular of unsurpassed gore -- and I've been watching horror for 30 years. (No, I won't write any spoilers.)I saw this film when it was first released in the theaters in the early 1980s, and then on VHS, and then on this DVD set.But this 2-DVD set is POORLY MANUFACTURED.I bought this 2-DVD set last year. It kept freezing in my JVC DVD player. So I returned it for a refund.But this is such great film, a year later, I ordered another 2-DVD set. Maybe I'd gotten a bad batch before?AGAIN, the DVD froze in my DVD player. So I tried it on another DVD player. It froze in that one too.I had to wait for the DVD to jerk past the scene, and nudge it along, trying to get it to play smoothlyGreat film. It's sad they have such a low quality control at whatever factory they're using.
