The Terror Vision Blu-ray has 4 cuts of this film (whereas Blu-ray.com states 3), see the Terror Vision website or the back cover image on Blu-ray.com for information on said cuts. Anyways, included in this set as 2 of the cuts (one presented as is, one modified by Terror Vision) is the competitor Redwood Creek's Blu-ray restoration, which had some negative reviews on Indiegogo and the Blu-ray Forum.

About the film

The classic tale of Dante's journey through hell, loosely adapted from the Divine Comedy and inspired by the illustrations of Gustav Doré. This historically important film stands as the first feature from Italy and the oldest fully-surviving feature in the world, and boasts beautiful sets and special effects that stand above other cinema of the era.

Best Video:

88 Films UK or Vinegar Syndrome US Blu-ray (preference)

Video Notes:

Different color gradings, 88 Films disc is encoded by FiM but Vinegar Syndrome encode (by Marcus Johnson) is more than robust

Best Audio:

Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray

Audio Notes:

Vinegar Syndrome potentially has better audio than 88 Films, due to VinSyn possibly having EQ'd the audio mix after Fortune Star scanned the track in a way that makes it sound too hot, whereas 88 left it alone without addressing that issue. However, no direct comparisons exist

US GKIDS Blu-ray

Video Notes:

Japan Aniplex Blu-ray is severely lowpassed, which is not an issue on the US release
