The death scenes in this movie are terrifying and chilling. Hope they improved the video and audio transfer with this collector's ed.

Just got my copy from emildjr and watched it a while ago. The video is much much improvement from the previous release. Gone are the dirt and grains which are very visible from the previous release. Very clean transfer. The audio is also good. The dvd has a spine no. 29 and has a cool slipcase.

Since this is a collector's edition release, the 2nd disc is packed with extras. Check out the Curse or Coincidence Featurette wherein Richard Donner and some of the production people narrates some mysterious occurences that happened while they were filming the movie. Be the judge if its just publicity for the movie or not. Wes Craven dishes out his fondness for this film on the 2nd disc which is also worth checking out!

Although I certainly hate the ending of this movie, Donner has crafted one of the best horror films to come out in the 70's.
