I bought the 4 X 400' flat release earlier this year and it is faded and grainy as Kurt described. I just recently acquired the digest originally reviewed by Andrew. What a difference with both the low fade stock and scope presentation! If only more Hammer classics were released in such glory!

Burton, those are excellent screenshots. We also have this digest in scope on low fade stock and it is a good edit. The classicc flash back opening and then more or less moves along very quickly.

Burton/Tom - You're fortunate to find copies looking so good. Prior to obtaining the scope feature, I had a couple of digests but neither was worth keeping. One was 1980s low fade but even that was a washed out overexposed print!

...Now that I know there is a feature length scope version of this film in super 8mm I'll be on the hunt...

Worth mentioning on this thread.

Recently acquired a LPP Scope 400 of this and also a new Fuji print of the flat version both excellent, but I do find the Fuji print with more vivid colour. Probably one of the best 400s out there.

Did a re record on one as the sound originally on that feature was appallingly rough. [Eek!]
