Of course there’s the '04 master we all know and despise complete with it’s famed lobster men.

Then most everyone here knows my absolute hatred of the Lowry led transfers of the Bond canon. 😉

Now they’ve gone and done it to one of the most famously colorful of 50’s Technicolor films, Horror of Dracula. The BFI restoration used an answer print, and their new timing was tweaked by the post house for the new Hammer/Lionsgate BD release.  And it’s all dark and blue. WHY???

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Does anyone even check what print sources look like? Or think to possibly do some research as to how the look was intended to be???
 

Discuss.

And yes, I still think Raiders looks off somehow. But that may be just me. 😉
