I'm waiting for the box set with all 3 Wrong Turn films in October.

matome · 09-28-09, 09:15 PM

^same here, even with the crappy reviews I'll take any improvement

I'm watching the BD of Wrong Turn right at this moment and it looks like an upscaled dvd.

Wrong Turn 2 is probably about where it's supposed to be for a gritty, low-budget 16mm shoot for a DTV flick. It doesn't look great, but I could at least tell I was watching a Blu-ray disc. Wrong Turn is in the running for one of the worst looking discs I've reviewed. It's so close to the DVD (which I do own) that I seriously wonder if this is an upconvert. The Blu-ray disc looks marginally better, but I think that says more about the way the DVD was compressed rather than anything about the BD.

Those are the reviews I read as well as some from Blu-Ray.com

I loved both films (2 was a completely surprise to me since I bought it blind), so it kind of sucks to see such random treatment of them. Wasn't expecting reference quality, but at the same time not expecting a lot of the comments I saw across all reviews.

Sessa17 · 10-22-09, 05:08 PM

Does anybody know - Does the Wrong Turn 3-Pack come in a box set, or is it just all 3 movies bundled together like the Riddick movies?

GizmoDVD · 10-22-09, 05:14 PM

I think its similar to Lecter Trilogy which is all 3 in a normal sized BD case. I have yet to see it though but that's how the artwork looks like to me.

I've seen it and thats correct.

Wrong Turn 4: We're probably back at the start, and this time we'll get it right.

Bluelitespecial · 10-22-09, 09:33 PM

I am going to go ahead and say it right here next fox movie I want on bluray is The Beach, and how come they released the horrible Hills Have Eyes 2, but not the 2006 remake of the original on bluray.

Can't wait.

And a slip cover!

AnonomusBob15 · 11-05-09, 08:37 PM

Fight Club looks great.

KillerCannibal · 11-05-09, 09:22 PM

I was going to buy Fight Club regardless, but that DVD Beaver review didn't exactly get me amped. Sounds like the transfer, aside from the obvious HD boost, isn't as vastly superior as I had thought it might be.

Drexl · 11-05-09, 09:32 PM

Well, it looks pretty darn good to me, based on my expectations. Most of the reviewer's concerns were about the darkness and overall drab look of the film, but that's just how it is. Fincher even mentioned in the commentary how he didn't want the audience to see as much of the actors' eyes. Anyone who was expecting bright, vivid colors would be disappointed with this, and any Fincher film for that matter. The reviewer said the transfer reminded him of Zodiac (go figure!).

Solid Snake PAC · 11-05-09, 10:42 PM

Nice...

I'm kinda bummed that the review gave away the menu surprise, which is pretty brilliant.

It's too bad. I wouldn't have returned the disc but I would have been puzzled as to what was happening.

trespoochies · 11-17-09, 11:49 PM

Fight Club looks damn great. Been years since I've seen it, probably since I got the 2 disc set.

Artman · 11-18-09, 02:35 AM

Just finished it, looked great. I last watched it three yrs ago, it does just keep getting better. Would've been nice to get that FBI warning screen again, and maybe a Tyler laugh when the joke menu screen changes over... but yeah, great disc.

slop101 · 11-18-09, 02:40 AM

It's worth it just for the extra where Brad Pitt calls Mel Gibson "Sugar Tits".

Hammer99 · 11-18-09, 03:02 AM

DTS-HD MA just kicked ass on Fight Club, very nice!

The DTS-HD MA shook my apartment during the opening credits. I am Jack's blown eardrums.
