Two Evil Eyes Blu-rayBlue Underground | 1990 | 120 mins | Not rated | Mar 31, 2009
Two Evil Eyes(1990)Horror | Sci-Fi ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The masters of modern horror – George Romero and Dario Argento – bring you an unprecedented pair of shockers inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. In Romero’s 'The Facts In The Case Of Mr. Valdemar', a conniving wife (Adrienne Barbeau of 'The Fog') and her lover use a hypnotic trance to embezzle a fortune from her dying husband, only to receive some chilling surprises from beyond the grave. Then in Argento’s 'The Black Cat', a deranged crime scene photographer (Harvey Keitel of 'Reservoir Dogs') is driven to brutal acts of madness and murder by his girlfriend’s new pet. But will this cunning feline deliver a final sickening twist of its own? For more details about Two Evil Eyes on Blu-ray, see the Two Evil Eyes Blu-ray Review Two Evil Eyes Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Two Evil Eyes gazes at Blu-ray with a 1080p, 1.78:1-framed transfer. The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar offers up a good transfer, one that is nice and clear, showcasing strong colors and solid levels of detail. Film grain is moderately heavy in places, but never serves as much of a distraction. The warmer scenes, those in Mr. Pike's office early in the first segment, for example, offer the best colors and most stable imagery. Many shots inside the Valdemar mansion feature bright light streaming through large windows that somewhat diffuses the image. Still, the image remains rather strong, offering excellent detail across the board, from Ernest's wrinkly face to the medical equipment that stabilizes him. The segment has a bit of a dated look to it. It's not as eye-catching and natural looking as the best of Blu-ray, but there is never a major problem with the transfer. The Black Cat features a heavier grain field than that seen in the previous film. Like the first entry, colors and detail are solid across the board. Whether the action takes place on dark Pittsburgh nights or during the day inside Usher's home, the disc never falters in offering above-average clarity and sharpness. Characters look slightly pale at times, but black levels are good. In total, Two Evil Eyes should please fans with its quality high definition video presentation. Two Evil Eyes Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Two Evil Eyes scares up a solid audio experience. In Blue Underground style, the disc offers up a pair of 7.1 lossless soundtracks, one of the DTS-HD MA variety and the other a Dolby TrueHD track. The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar offers a soundtrack that is decent at best. Dialogue is fine, clear but not completely sharp. Sound effects are occasionally heard discretely in the front right and left channels. Music is presented naturally with no discernible hiccups. The back speakers are used sparsely. It's a rather bland mix, but it's sufficiently effective nevertheless. The Black Cat doesn't fare quite as well. The cat's hisses and growls sound detached, unnatural, and louder in volume compared to the rest of the track. Music, in some instances, seems to often play second fiddle to dialogue and sound effects, sounding a bit more uninspired than the disconcerting meowing and hissing of the cat. Elsewhere, music reproduction is strong and presented with a nice bit of authority across the soundstage. Occasional bits of dialogue also unnaturally pour through each of the front speakers simultaneously, making the dialogue sound detached and lending something of an odd echoing sensation to the sequences. On the whole, Two Evil Eyes offers a sufficient soundtrack, though The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar fares better than the uneven The Black Cat.
