Deep and rich in the blacks and shadows especially; this is a film that truly exemplifies the strengths of the format. I've owned the 20th Century Fox DVD for years which was just fine, but seeing Criterion's job on it is just... wow.
sharehey thanks for the info! I am dying to buy this!! I have been waiting for a blu ray release in America for such a long time

It is possibly my favorite ghost film, so the Blu-ray was a must-have for me. It's definitely worth getting.
sharehave you checked out the special features?

I agree. The Criterion disc glows. It's gorgeous. Probably the best I've ever seen a black and white film look on BR.

I've had to have seen this film at least 60 times since the early 70s and watching the Criterion Blu-ray is like seeing it for the first time. Paintings and bookshelves,pieces of furniture,shadows and other details, give watching my favorite thriller , new life.
Just because something can't be explained,doesn't mean it becomes yours!

While I don't own the Blu-ray Criterion, even the dvd version looks amazing.
Can't stop the signal.
I received it as a Christmas present - it is stunning.
shareAgreed, it's like you could step through the screen.
shareCompletely agree. The bluray is total perfection.
shareAlthough the transfer is an improvement for image sharpness over the bfi release (and also less cropping as well), my feeling is that they went a little too dark with the final product. The bfi version you don't have to struggle to see the image for the most part.
