NOTE: The 1.5GB Matroska file is the original high quality H.265 HEVC encode which cannot be previewed on this site. IA automation creates a lower quality H.264 encoded file for streaming compatibility which is significantly smaller. To enjoy this work in it's best quality, please download the larger file or stream it using a compatible player such as the free and open source VLC Media Player.
A wonderfully creepy mystery movie from the early '70s. Unfortunately, all publicly shared copies appear to be sourced from the same television broadcast VHS recording, sharing identical errors and poor quality.
Video and audio remastering have been a beloved hobby for more than 25 years, beginning while low-bandwidth internet media was still in it's toddlerhood of overly-compressed mp3s, blurry 3gp and fuzzy flash video. I enjoy doing quality upgrades of any media which presents a challenge. It is futile to strive for perfection in these restorations as they are sourced from lossy encodes which are already stripped of quality from the original broadcast signal. Rather, I use my skills and experience to minimize corruptions of the original broadcast quality. While my work is not professional by any means, it does increase the entertainment quality.
I always seek out the best shared copy I can locate to work with. This work has corrections to resize, restore pre-digital TV aspect ratio, color, saturation, brightness, contrast and gamma. An annoying non-network logo has been masked. Sharpening without accentuating undesirable video noise proved a challenge. The audio has been cleaned up, converted from dual channel mono to true stereo & normalized as well. Being a videophile/audiophile, much of my work is done frame-by-frame. So numerous other errors were successfully camouflaged. A small border applied to the ragged edges, along with a sprinkling of uniform analog static grain added for the classic TV touch and VOILA! A decent quality movie appears.
I do hope you enjoy this improved copy of a good TV movie. Happy watching!
