Great film, seen it a few times before. But why does it look so bad on the horror channel? It's like i'm watching a VHS pirate? At best it looks like it's been filmed on a digi cam.
It looks terrible, whats going on?
The picture quality on the Horror channel is awful on pretty much everything. It's actually quite impressive that they can source copies of shows/films that look that bad.
I've recorded a couple films on there recently and the image was so bad I just gave up trying to watch as it was so distracting. It really does seem sub VHS at times..even on modern films.
Nah this is just a bad copy - while Horror clearly could do with more data they show perfectly acceptable quality prints as a rule and in the correct aspect ratio these days
^ Indeed. Horror showed Magic (1978) the other night and it was perfectly okay once your eyes adjusted. The Mist did seem notably poor though.
Even that wasn't in the same league as one of the channels showing of Massacre in Rome recently. So bad it was distracting - certain parts looked like an odd form of animation.

That's on Movies4Men and yes its appalling, I was going to watch it but I refused to subject myself to something that looks like one of those copyright free prints on Info tv channel.

Mainly due to lower bit rates.

When the Horror channel aired A Perfect Getaway, the speed up was quite apparent.
