This girl cannot be trusted
Presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Lindsay Shonteff's The Million Eyes of Sumuru arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Blue Underground.
The Million Eyes of Sumuru looks a bit rougher than The Girl From Rio, but it actually has stronger organic qualities. Indeed, there are some minor density fluctuations, but there are no obvious traces of recent digital corrections. Also, there are no traces of sharpening adjustments. Colors can be better saturated and it is clear that nuances can be expanded, but the primaries are fairly decent. Depth is pleasing, but the larger your screen is, the easier it will be for you to see the areas where time has left its mark. The good news is that there are not that many and for the most part the film does look quite well balanced. Image stability is good. Finally, some very light fading can be spotted before and after a few transitions, but there are no large damage marks, cuts, debris, stains, or warped frames. My score is 3.75/5.00. (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).
There is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. Optional yellow English SDH subtitles are provided for the main feature. When turned on, they appear inside the image frame.
Dynamic intensity is rather good. Sharpness and clarity also do not disappoint, though I must say that there is some room for improvement. The dialog is stable, clean, and always easy to follow. There are no balance issues.
If you have seen any of the films in Sergio Greco's Agent 077 Trilogy, then you should have a pretty good idea what type of entertainment Lindsay Shonteff's The Million Eyes of Sumuru offers. It is by no means a masterpiece, but it isn't a bad film to see late at night while relaxing and enjoying a glass of fine whiskey. Blue Underground have recently remastered it and I think that it looks quite good in high-definition. RECOMMENDED. (In addition to The Million Eyes of Sumuru, Blue Underground's new release includes cult Spanish director Jess Franco's film The Girl From Rio).
