I only purchased this movie because of my love for Janet Jackson. The movie was very melodramatic and I found the character of Tasha to be far too loud and overbearing.
The film that helped establish Prince's public persona comes to DVD with this lackluster release from Warner Bros. The transfer is a standard, full-frame 1.33:1 image. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack is recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include production notes and theatrical trailers. The best aspect of this disc is the sound, which was also the best aspect of the movie. Considering Prince's stature as one of the superstars of the last 20 years, one wonders if a special edition release of this film on DVD might be in the works.
I grew up hearing about this movie but I never took the opportunity to watch it for myself. However because of the unfortunate passing of Prince, there was a sale on all things Prince at Best Buy store and I was able to get a copy. I don't know what took me so long to watch it but when I did, I enjoyed the heck out of it. It made me appreciate Prince even more.
Let the "ghoul" times roll as one of television's most beloved horror hits arrives on DVD courtesy of Warner Brothers Home Entertainment. Each episode of the macabre anthology series is presented in 1.33:1 as originally aired and features closed-captioned English Dolby Digital Surround audio with optional English, French, and Spanish subtitles. For those curious to find out a little more about the origins of this long-running fright-fest, Warner Bros. has seen fit to include a "Tales from the Crypt: From Comic Books to Television" featurette that traces the evolution of the creepy franchise by offering interviews with comic-book historian Mark Evanier, Tales from the Crypt: The Official Archives author Digby Diehl, horror director John Carpenter, EC Comics writer/artist Al Feldstein, and others in the know, with the Crypt Keeper himself chiming in to offer his own perspective on the six-episode season in "The Crypt Keeper's History of Season One." Finally, for those who thought they had heard the last of the cackling host, the Crypt Keeper returns to haunt your nightmares with an all-new introduction produced especially for this DVD release.
