Serial Mom [DVD] [1994]

Was not entirely clear this was the German Disc. However English language all present and correct and a decent image transfer. The movie itself is a classic, perhaps Waters finest work. A masterclass in Black Comedy with a standout performance from Kathleen Turner. Those that have not seen this yet are missing out.

I've loved this movie since I first saw it when I was just 10 years old and it has been one of my all time favourites ever since! I had previously owned the out-of-print DVD which when lent out to a friend was NEVER returned. So when I saw the opportunity to upgrade I jumped at the chance to get this Blu-ray!The film itself is perfect, I've seen it hundreds of times and it's as good as I remembered BUT it appears Universal have just used the same film print used for the DVD and just up scaled the image as for Blu-ray - the quality isn't where it should be. The image is noisy, full of dust and grain and hasn't been remastered since the DVD was released. There are no special features available, not even a trailer which is puzzling as the US edition has a commentary track & a trailer at the very least. This version is about as good as I think we're gonna get for this cult classic which is disappointing but i'll love it all the same

I am a massive fan of this film and I purchased it right away when I found out it had been released on blu ray. However, i was really disappointed with the blu ray transfer given to this little gem of a movie. The picture quality is not at all what we have come to expect from the blu ray format and really is not much better than the dvd version. So if you are thinking about upgrading your dvd to this blu ray, then I would wait until the price comes down to around £5 because I think that it isn't worth more than that unless you really are a die hard fan of this movie, or just keep your dvd version, as you won't see much of a picture upgrade in the blu ray transfer.Come on universal pictures, if you are going to release these titles on blu ray, then at least make sure that they are given decent transfers or don't bother at all!

Great film. UK R2 2003 Pathe release (EAN 5060002830345) is let down by the 1.33:1 full screen pan & scan & no subtitles.If you have an unlocked multiregional DVD player that is capable of playing USA region 1 DVDs (that WILL NOT play on ordinary UK R2 DVDs) then buy the 2008 USA Universal region 1 Collector's Edition release (UPC 025195027489). It comes with English SDH, French & Spanish subtitles & an anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen presentation.

Love this film and had not seen in in years so was thrilled when I found it online. Bought it on blu-ray and, after seeing what other reviewers had written about the transfer quality, I wasn't expecting it to be great. To be fair the picture quality is not that bad, most definitely watchable. We have to keep in mind that these films were not made to high definition quality that we are used to now.The film is brilliant though, one to watch if you like humour with a darker edge.

AMAZING MOVIE!! AMAZING PICTURE (i know some reviewers disagree here but i was genuinely impressed taking into consideration the age of this film.HOWEVER, what is NOT amazing, is that there NO EXTRAS WHATSOEVER!!!This was a real disappointment because I assumed it included the audio commentary done by John Waters and Kathleen Turner, which features on the collector's edition DVD of this film... sad, sad, sad!

Ordered it and had it in less than 12 hours!!! Oh yes it’s a good weird film but it is John Waters .... not seen it since I had a VHS copy ... so for a long time!

A real piece of cheesecake - Hollywood at its absolute best.Hilarious from start to finish and one of those films which should be watched whenever you need some mindless escapism. Very gory and bloody, and fully deserving of its 18 rating, it nonetheless delivers a brilliant lesson on the morals of small-town life (not just in the US)...but that's not really why you should watch it.I don't think there is much to moan about really, it's not a screen great but then, sometimes you just need a good old-fashioned romp to relax and unwind.A true story though?! It's too neat (particularly in the ending) and doesn't need "justifying" in this way.
