From the Dead of Night (1989 TV Movie)
Good plot spoilt by bad picture
25 January 2003
Recently bought this one on DVD in the UK. Found the plot extremely interesting, even chilling but was very DISAPPOINTED by the PICTURE QUALITY which was absolutely ABYSMAL - washed out and faded colours, misty image lacking in sharpness - muffled and unclear voices - also the theme and background music was HOPELESS ! For such a spooky and terrifying plot the could have used more powerful and anguishing music. What a shame to see such good and beautiful actors so badly portrayed aesthetically. The film is long but the suspense is maintained until the very end. Unfortunately the fact of buying it on DVD does not garantee a good picture, contrary to what I expected. But for the plot alone I would give 9/10 - most original !
