"Drive-In Delirium: Maximum '80s Overdrive" arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Australian label Umbrella Entertainment. The supplemental features on the disc include an original trailer for the compilation and large gallery with original theatrical posters. In English, not subtitled. Region-Free.
Obviously, there are various trailers that are framed differently, and according to Umbrella Entertainment they are presented "uncut, uncensored and remastered". The overwhelming majority of them do in fact look very good in 1080p, but you should keep in mind that time has definitely left its mark on them. So you would see some light fading, scratches, and other minor age-related imperfections; density can also vary between different trailers. However, with a few small exceptions the quality is certainly above the average mark that we typically set for films and virtually all of the trailers have pleasing organic qualities. All in all, considering the enormous amount of content that is loaded on the Blu-ray the end result is very pleasing. (Note: This is a Region-Free Blu-ray release. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your player regardless of your geographical location. For the record, there is no problematic PAL or 1080/50i content preceding the disc's main menu).
There is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: Dolby Digital 2.0. Optional English SDH subtitles are not provided for the main feature.
A lossless track most likely would have been a better optional for this release, but I am not convinced that there would have been a substantial gap in quality because its clear that source materials for some of these trailers had various limitations. The important point to make here is that the overall quality of the sound is actually surprisingly good and there are no digital/mastering anomalies.
While I was viewing this terrific compilation of vintage trailers, I honestly felt like I had jumped in a time machine because I suddenly remembered so many favorite films that I had not seen in years. There is a lot of content on the Blu-ray and I was glued to my screen for hours. I absolutely loved it. If you remember the '80s and the films that made them special, go ahead and order your copy of Drive-In Delirium: Maximum '80s Overdrive. I guarantee you will have a terrific time with it. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
