Sounds like a great 3D ride. I look forward to picking this up. First though, I’ve got to watch and review House on Haunted Hill 3D. Still don’t know why I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
"Monsters??!!...We're British you know!!" I Love this movie. I got my digital copy a couple of weeks ago. The conversion is flawless in my opinion. Even the train lights at the very beginning had life and depth. The depth of the empty eye sockets of the monster when it was still in the ice was simply astonishing. But just to witness Christopher and Peter in stunning 3D was such a treat.
This film is in my top ten of all time, of any genre. One of the greatest horror movies ever made IMO. EyePop’s 3-D conversion isn’t as strong overall as I would have liked, but it’s fairly solid and there are several extremely impressive shots of train corridors and exteriors/models. And as you said, the conversion is pretty much perfectly done, with no anomalies that jumped out at me. One thing I must disagree with you a bit on is the music score; far from sounding merely dubbed in here and there, John Cacavas’ haunting theme is extremely memorable, extremely well-used, and is a vital part of the film’s atmosphere. It’s also extremely whistleable. I will agree that silence is also used extremely well. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! 🤓
Yes, I dropped the ball on the music. I just wanted to point out that at times I appreciated the silence instead of cheesy music. The score was very good. My bad.
Thanks for the review! Looking forward to popping in my copy of this release and watching it all.

Great comments!
Spot on with this review, great film and great conversion. I had a wee look at the anaglyph version too and it was also excellent.
Hi Tommy, thanks for the great review. Quick question, Were you going to see Deadpool and Wolverine in 3d?

Totally agree on the score. It was haunting. It almost had a Ennio Morricone feel to it. Wonderfull stuff!
