Surprised that see this DVD in CD Japan, I am quickly purchased it! This movie is definitely explain more about Whitney and I feel that I understand her more! Love it!

A beautifully packaged presentation of this fan favorite film. The only downside is the movie badly needs a remaster, but overall a worthwhile purchase. Not Region A locked, plays fine on my Region B player.

JaeJoong's brings us a beautiful and perfect work. But a booklet could be great like Korean version...Thank you so much Cd Japan! #KPOPReview

Amazing! Everything was just as ordered and it got here so fast! A week early in fact! I'm so happy with my purchase I was wanting to own a physical copy of this and CD Japan was the only place that had a any! Thanks so much! :D

The immortal Boris Karloff stars as “Frankenstein”, a.k.a. “Frankenstein’s Monster”, the role that made him a legend! Dr. Henry Frankenstein sought power and fame. He wished to create a “new man” by assembling body parts from freshly-dead corpses then restoring them anew by exposing his assembled creature to a special ultra-violet ray created in his laboratory. By mistake, the brain of a violent criminal is put into Dr. Frankenstein’s creation. When this “new man” is given life, he is badly treated, (you’ll see why). As such, the violent madman’s brain takes control, and “Frankenstein’s Monster” runs amok, creating mayhem and murder wherever he goes, though truly through no fault of The Monster’s own. That, my friends, is precisely the point of this great “morality play”. The real treat is Karloff’s wordless performance as the hapless, much-misunderstood “Monster”. It was worthy of a Best Actor Academy (Oscar) Award at the time, except that the Academy’s voters didn’t consider horror movies seriously. It’s also worth mention how groundbreaking “Frankenstein” was in its time. Subject: A mad scientist who robs graves. Taboos: On display were very real-looking human brains in glass jars, “corpses” hanging from gallows, or lying on slabs. Before “Frankenstein’s” release in 1931, such things were absolutely never shown onscreen. The ultimate shocker was, of course, The Monster’s appearance, especially in close-up. Created by Universal Studios make-up wizard, Jack Pierce, with input from Karloff himself, this is a look that will remain durable in your nightmares. When The Monster first turns his face to the camera that first time, the camera cuts to a closeup. At that point, generations of moviegoers have received a never-forgotten chill up the spine! I dare you to use your Pause Control at that instant just to stare - and marvel at - The Monster’s face. Karloff’s face and character are a brilliant study in tragedy and misunderstanding played to the zenith of both. It’s not The Monster’s fault that he has a murderer’s brain! He even tries to be kind in playing with a child, but becomes scared and confused when he finds out that she can’t do what her flowers did....

Classic Scifi family entertainment at its best! Bought this as a gift for my daughter last Christmas.

Very good movie. A must have for Whitney Houston collection. The blu ray is also made in high quality.

In my humble Opinion this is much better than the first...well done I look forward to the next instalments, if there are any

As good as previous, that being the 2nd & like in that review it being better than number 1, the story is quite fast & being quite new to the style of movie I have had to watch a few times to get my head around the concept, but now I have I am enjoying the overall story & the acting is great too

When I saw this movie was going to be given a Blu Ray release, I was excited if not surprised. Just as it was in South America, particularly Argentina, MELODY (a.k.a S.W.A.L.K) has had a large cult following since the mid 70's and has seen several releases in the last few decades. I have owned just about every edition of this film, from VHS to Laser Disc to DVD and now Blu Ray. It was not until a few years ago that the original Widescreen edition was made available, which was already a huge jump from the early editions. However, quality of the film has always been up to Japanese standards, meaning, pretty great. I had no doubt this Blu Ray edition would look and sound good and I was not disappointed. Thankfully, Japan and the USA both share the same region and NTSC system, so I jumped to pre-order it and got it today, the release date. The Video quality is rather good, with some good sharpness overall and, at times, spectacular. There are, however, some instances where the picture is not as sharp, but it is generally OK. There is some dirt that seems to have surprisingly made it's way into the transfer during one scene and it shows up a couple of times, but when it is gone, that is it. The colors are true to the original and still retains that early 1970's feel of a misty, gray London. The sound is Dolby 2.0 and nothing to write home about. It is mostly clear except for being a bit muffled every so often, making some of the dialogue somewhat difficult to understand, particularly Ornshaw's heavy cockney. Still, I was generally pleased. The extras are not many, just the Japanese trailer. That is OK as most of us fans should be happy that this got a Blu Ray release to really care about any extras. I doubt this Blu Ray will ever get a US release, so getting this Blu Ray directly from Japan (I got it from CDJapan) is your best bet. The price is a bit steep, though it won't break the bank. If you are a fan of this film, even remotely, GET THIS. Japan has a tendency of releasing stuff in limited numbers and when stuff is gone, it is gone, so I would not hesitate.

I'm very impressed with the Blu Ray with this classic film! Better picture and sound over the USA DVD from Criterion. Most highly recommend!

The English audio soundtrack has missing dialog,very disappointing considering the very high price of this blu ray.

BATMAN is my favorite DC Comic superhero and this remake is the best one on screen - it was a big success! So I wondered, why any collector/deluxe DVD edition released for this movie in Japan?

Tegoshi's voice is very lovely, great dub for the first time. I smile and laught everytime when hear the bad tone singing of Mumble from Tegoshi. I think he has a gift for this, dubbling or narration. Such a pity, there is no English sub.

An excellent movie with very good actors. All the actors speak English, without any dubbing, which adds to the attraction of this version.

I love boundheat movies but these prices totally suck, go to their website instead check out the previews other distributors change the names but you will find everything you need

This is the most perfect picture was ever been release from X-men. Wolverine is the supreme best character. From the X-men trilogy is my favourite.

very nice movie excellent. does this cd play on region two dvd player format? i really wanted to have this kind of cd its very nice and very satisfying.

The first OAV, this sequel introduces all of Stich's "cousins" - fellow experiments of the mad scientist Jumba who escape all over Kaui. Lilo & Stitch have to capture them all before they cause havoc. The Disney Channel television show "Lilo & Stitch: The Series" shown in the United States continued this theme, with each episode introducing a new "cousin". This film (and the series) are much more happy and upbeat then either the original film or the official sequel ("Stich Has a Glitch").

For me it's too short ^^ And If it was Japanese production it would be much better! But if you are as big Ring's fan as me you must have it :P
