This Blu-ray release of 'Never Take Candy from a Stranger' can be found in a two-film bundle with 'Scream of Fear.' The two films are also included in the Hammer Ultimate Collection. There, they feature a different audio encode (that yields the same results) and identical video. Both films include commentary tracks there that are not included here.
This Blu-ray disc appears to contain the same transfer used for the Hammer Collection. For a full video review, please click here.
Though this edition features an LPCM 2.0 uncompressed soundtrack and the presentation from the 20-film Hammer bundle includes a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 lossless soundtrack, one would be hard-pressed to notice any significant differences. Several A-B comparisons revealed no tangible alterations to any element. The review of the presentation from the Hammer collection suffices here.
The Hammer Collection release includes an audio commentary track which is sadly missing here. No other extras are included, either.
With no significant video or audio alterations fans of this film, but not the others in the Hammer Collection, can purchase with confidence understanding that this release is missing a commentary track.
