The picture quality of this DVD is above average. There are a lot of night scenes and the detail is very good. Even the darkest scenes showed no sign of any pixelation or noise. The source print has some speckles in it but overall the picture is more than satisfactory.
The Dolby 5.1 remix is actually pretty good. The best thing I can say about the sound track is that I can't notice anything wrong with it. Most if not all the soundtrack came from the front speakers. The sound mix was done well. The dialogue was never drowned out by the music or special effects.
I watched the movie in Cantonese with the English subtitles. The subtitles were a decent size and did not interfere with watching the movie. They were timed well with the dialogue and the translations were never distracting.
The movie contained a trailer as well as Media Asia's commercial for their DVD's that they have put on practically every one of their releases.
A CHINESE GHOST STORY is a great movie. If you are a fan of this movie, you will definitely want the DVD. This is probably the best presentation of the film out there. I would recommend this one.
