WORK - The return of Quetzalcóatl
In Manhattan, the police are confronted with several crimes as atrocious and strange as each other. At the same time, a huge flying monster is seen in New York sky.
Crafted by one of the great names of the American B series (Larry Cohen), this film of exploitation completely broke is a horrific satire with retro authenticity not devoid of charm, where a casting bis of first order (David Carradine, Richard Roundtree and Michael Moriarty) chases an animated monster on stop motion. A lot of troubleshooting, welcome gore moins and a certain attraction for the characters on the margins, make this tribute kitsch to the Monster Movies of the 1950s a small craft production that is certainly out of date, but coming at all from its sudden ruptures of tone.
IMAGE - Lunch atop a Skyscraper
Not particularly clear and covered with too many dirt (the stripes abound), this very soft HD master operated in 2013 by the US publisher Shh! Studios Furthermore, it appears to be using DNR even if the granularity, which is more pronounced during Q optical rigging, is homogeneous for the rest of the time.
The colorimetric palette is changing despite robust primaries, and contrasts, usually dull, do not help the legibility of scenes plunged into darkness. Fortunately, diurnal scenes are largely majority and compression, well helped by an average bitrate measured at 31.5 Mbit/s, not inclined to weaken.
SOUND - Up in the sky 🎶
A result of the restored American master's degree, the monophonic VO offered in DTS-HD MA 2.0 is well distributed on both frontal channels but is age-sensitive. The sounds are therefore dated and several fluctuations in volume are heard. Nevertheless, it remains clean and dynamic.
Drawn from an old copy, the VF also presented in DTS-HD MA 2.0 dual mono must undergo a continuous breath and risky sizzling. As for dubbing, he struggles to convince and intrude badly on the original mixing.
« I saved you all. I saved this fucking town! And what did it bring me? »
CONCLUSION - What a funny bird!
After influencing the Godzilla by Roland Emmerich and more surprisingly the The Host of Bong Joon-ho, Scared about New York joins the Angoisse Collection of Rimini Editions to be sacrificed to the fans of hand-made bisseries, in a lovely three-part digipack containing the two discs (with A/V performances limited to making rass-motte) as well as the usual 24-page booklet by Marc Toulelec (which is about the creation of the film in D-system mode).
