Search - Popcorn

In this off-beat horror outing, a band of film students decide to scare up some cash by holding a film festival celebrating horror films from the '50s. Its all great fun until they discover that the projectionist is a homicidal maniac. Gory violence ensues as audience members begin dying in horrible ways. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Before there was Scream there was the self-referencing horror movie Popcorn. Elite Entertainment presents Popcorn in anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen and the results are less than impressive. The image for =Popcorn is very drab, with much of the picture looking dark and grainy. Aside from the widescreen aspect ratio, this transfer looks as if it came straight from VHS. Colors are often dark, with black levels looking slightly gray. For a film that is not especially old, more was certainly expected out of this transfer. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 and sounds only slightly more impressive than the video portions of this disc. Dialogue, music, and effects are all clean and clear, with only slight distortion present. No subtitles are included on this disc. =Popcorn's bag is only half full when it comes to extra features. Included on this disc are seven TV promotional spots, as well as a single promotional theatrical trailer. Fans of Popcorn may feel the need to pick up this DVD, but be forewarned that while you may enjoy the movie, this disc leaves much to be desired. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
