THE MOVIE<\/strong> \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cForensic Files\u201d<\/strong> is a long-running series that has been shown on a variety of channels in various forms such as \u201cMystery Detectives\u201d and \u201cMedical Detectives\u201d. It was also recently repackaged on Investigation Discovery entitled \u201cCause of Death\u201d. The series features re-enactments of different cases with narration by veteran voice over actor Peter Thomas. Originally aired in 1996, the series continued on until 2011 where it now resides, oft in marathon form on the weekends, on HLN (Headline News).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve enjoyed the series more often using it as background noise though the cases are very interesting and as an avid watcher of the true crime shows that air on Investigation Discovery and have seen the same crime showcased with, in my opinion, \u201cForensic Files\u201d<\/strong> did it the best.<\/p>\n

        SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        Sadly, no features were included.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        VIDEO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        \u201cForensic Files\u201d: Best-of Volumes 1-3<\/strong> arrives on Blu-ray, for the first time, presented with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and while this wasn\u2019t a series meant for high-definition. The re-enactments don\u2019t look the best while interview footage tend to provide better colors and decent enough detail levels. There is some artifacts and aliasing in certain shots so it\u2019s not the prettiest looking picture.
        \n        <\/a><\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        AUDIO \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        Unfortunately there\u2019s only a standard Dolby Digital 2.0 track but its adequate enough providing for clear dialogue yet the audio does top out in some areas and the depth is quite limited. I can\u2019t fault the audio too much because as with the picture, it was never meant to have incredible audio for a syndicated program.<\/p>\n

        OVERALL \u2013 2.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        Overall, \u201cForensic Files\u201d: The Best of Volumes 1-3<\/strong> are a fine selection of episodes and for fans, like I am, it is nice to have these finally to watch at home although it seems at any given moment there is a marathon on Headline News. That said, the SRP on this is a tad much but if you can nab it for under $10, it might be worth it.<\/p>\n
