Blue Underground's DVDs - First Impression
At first glance, Blue Underground's initial releases appear to be very worthwhile investments. Pulled right from the negative, THE TOOLBOX MURDERS is one of the best DVD transfers I've ever seen, ranking alongside ZOMBIE LAKE and Fulci's THE BLACK CAT. The original negative of SHOCKWAVES was lost some time ago so BU had to resort to a 35mm print as their master, and while it still looks better than ever be warned there's a few spots of slight damage and some grain. THE PROWLER resides somewhere between the two - nice looking and in good shape, yet filmed in a soft-focus sorta way, so rookies to the film probably won’t appreciate it’s new clarity as much as seasoned vets. The trio is absolutely packed with extras - including featurettes, commentaries, stills, trailers, behind-the-scenes footage, etc. So put aside your fears, the advance buzz for Blue Underground has been well placed.

Well, Savini is on the commentary track with Joseph Zito, there's behind-the-scenes effects footage of EVERY death scene, and there's behind-the-scenes stills from his collection in the photo gallery - so if you're a Savini fan THE PROWLER is a must-own disc.
