Demand a Recall from Universal, the Scrooge. Multiple films screwed up
While Universal is swimming in millions of dollars and are in NO way hurting for money, they release this piece of crap product to the world who are suffering through this tough economy demanding that they pay top dollar for a shabby product while they lie , claiming that this is 15 restored films. They should be ashamed of themselves treating the unsuspecting public and the master filmmaker Hitchcock with such contempt with their unbelievably shoddy work.
CONTACT UNIVERSAL TODAY AND DEMAND A RECALL!!
"Family Plot" looks awful with a pixelated image. I guarantee that you haven't seen a worse looking blu-ray. Go watch it on youtube and you'll get about the same quality as some parts of this blu-ray.
"The Man Who Knew Too Much" has NOT been restored and is in danger of being lost forever as originally filmed because Universal decided not to spend money on restoring the film, despite this being a money-making film for them (that will pay for its own restoration) and, again Universal is NOT hurting for cash. They can afford it, but chose not to and chose to charge YOU top dollar for them being cheap. DO NOT ACCEPT THIS!
The sky pulsates between blue and yellow, which distracts viewers. Colors throughout the film are wrong and change mid-scene. It makes Hitchcock look incompetent. Universal couldn't even apply proper color correction. Bad Universal.
"Marnie" has noise on the image for the first 17 chapters. It needs to be redone.
More minor problems exist on almost all of the other films, like screwing up the color during the titles of Vertigo...the list is long, my friends, including Frenzy's edge enhancement among issues.
DO NOT ACCEPT THIS SHODDY WORK FROM CHEAPSKATE UNIVERSAL PICTURES. CONTACT THEM TODAY AND DEMAND A RECALL! THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS AND TO DO IT RIGHT.. ESPECIALLY AT THIS PRICE TAG!
