The transfer feels and looks a little different on this flick. Nothing bad at all, but it just seems like a 1080p VHS transfer, if that makes any sense whatsoever. When I first put it in, I got an instant movie boner. It looked like a souped-up VHS but with incredible sounding sounds coming out of my sound system. Sounds. I say this because once the enemy starts firing his hand cannon, you might flip your shit. Sounds.

The specials features are limited on this release but are still pretty sweet. This includes interviews with director Craig R. Baxley and actors Brian Benben and Dolph Lundgren. Nothing major, but cool nonetheless.

Shout!/Scream Factory brings to us an entertaining (if not slightly campy) and high octane Sci-Fi/Thriller to Blu-Ray with Dark Angel. The film originally was released on VHS and laserdisc in 1991 by Media Home Entertainment, with a Region 2 (widescreen) and Region 4 (full screen) DVD available in Europe, Japan and Australia. In September 2011, in the U.S., MGM made the film available in their MOD line with a widescreen DVD that was available online. Not being able to track down copies of these for comparisons, I am hard pressed to believe that any of them posses the incredible picture and sound transfer that Shout!/Scream Factory has supplied for the film. One of the Blu-Rays that is part of their lower price point line, it is not chock full of special features like many of their other titles, but the interviews are nice and gives a peek behind the curtain and it was nice seeing the theatrical trailer again for the first time in years. Shout!/Scream Factory is showing why it is becoming the standard bearer for Blu-Ray Sci-Fi/Horror releases with this films first North American DVD release!

Movie Rating: 3 out of 5

Indeed.

I expect NSM to put out a real nice packaging for their DARK ANGEL. They make a lot of nice limited editions for horror/fantastic flicks. They're also trying to get more extras-wise.

Here is their latest for Alexandre Aja's HIGH TENSION:

Yup, Jonah Hill is flipping through channels and lands on it, I think it's the, "You go in pieces, asshole" part. Cracked me up and made me like the movie more than I probably should have.
