PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kind of a horror movie, kind of an espionage film, and in some sense a piece of science fiction, Scream and Scream Again<\/em><\/strong> features turns by three icons of the horror genre: Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing. All are involved in a wild \u201cplot\u201d connecting Great Britain to some unnamed totalitarian state where torture, murder, and out-of-control \u201cexperiments\u201d are the order of the day.<\/p>\n

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

Scream and Scream Again<\/em><\/strong> arrives on Blu-ray shown in its original 1.85 widescreen aspct ratio and presented with a 1080p high-definition (MPEG-4 AVC codec) transfer. Honestly, I doubt this ever looked good perhaps due to a limited, shoe-string budget or just the era but if this transfer is any indication, it wasn\u2019t good. There were numerous instances of dust marks and scratches not to mention some grain. Still, detail was at least acceptable and colors were decent enough though not overly bright.

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

On the plus side, comparatively anyway, the DTS-HD Master Audio 1.0 track which showcases good dialogue but that\u2019s about it. Given the limitations, things like ambient noises and the score lacks depth. It\u2019s not at all a bad lossless track just nothing overly noteworthy.<\/p>\n
