*bump*
So, the new BD release of The Evil Dead apparently gives the viewer the option to watch in 1.85:1 or original 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Has anyone got around to comparing the Blu-ray with the Japanese laserdisc? How does the colour grading and cropping compare? Does it have Raimi's 90s changes restored (the wide shot of Cheryl's turn and the lightning strike)? And does it include the original theatrical mono soundtrack?
