The movie is classic Bava and Image's widescreen transfer looks great. HOWEVER! The soundtrack is abominable. As others have said, you have to constantly turn the volume up and down to hear what's going on. But in way too many scenes, the volume doesn't matter because the sound is so choppy and distorted you can't hear it at any level. Image should've eaten the loss and passed on releasing this DVD to its loyal fan base. As a consumer, my faith in Image is now shaken and who knows what crap they may push in the future? I know it's only one disappointment in a history of prestige, but I remember the first time I saw commercials on cable channel AMC. Twas the beginning of the end.
