Default 'Repulsion' - High-Def Digest Review

Josh has reviewed 'Repulsion.' He says this movie is a reminder that Roman Polanski is an amaingly talented fimmaker. This Blu-ray is like having a private 35mm screening in your home. HIGHLY recommended.

Full review here:

Second only to Chinatown as Polanski's best film IMO. Someday I will get this .

I felt very uncomfortable watching this.


That was the point.






Great review, Josh Zyber.

Love the movie.

I have the blu-ray but have yet to watch it. Maybe tonight.

Nice review by the way. It's always a good thing to read a well written and interesting review, the agreeing part is always a plus.

I dig the review. I feel the same way about the sound. My house tends to stay sort of on the hot side, because it's poorly ventilated, but I had to turn off my AC and fans to watch this movie. The sound plays too important of a role in the film to be washed over by outside noise.

Same here. Will pick it up eventually. Sounds like a good flick.

It's not 2.0 mono, there's only 1 channel of sound, it's true 1.0 mono. All of Criterion's mono releases have been 1.0 mono, they don't do 2.0 mono.

The packaging and menus only say "Mono," but my receiver reports receiving a 2.0 signal.
