We have started a Patreon page with the hopes that
some of our followers would be
willing to donate a small amount to keep DVDBeaver
alive. We are a tiny niche, so your
generosity is vital to our
existence.
We are talking about a minimum of
$0.10 - $0.15 a day, perhaps a
quarter (or more) to those who won't
miss it from their budget. It
equates to buying DVDBeaver a coffee
once, twice or a few times a month.
You can then participate in our
monthly
Silent

("Dominque is Dead" or "Dominique Is Dead... Or Is She?" or "Avenging Spirit")
Directed by Michael Anderson
UK 1979
Wealthy Dominique Ballard (Jean Simmons;
Spartacus) lives with her husband David (Cliff Robertson;
Obsession,
Man on a Swing) in Dominique's giant English estate. Emotionally
fragile, Dominique is harassed, tormented, and eventually driven mad by David
until one night she hangs herself, resulting in her entire fortune being left to
her husband. But what at first seems like a clever inheritance scheme soon
becomes a waking nightmare for David as Dominique's spirit is not at rest and
has instead risen from the grave to haunt him and avenge her death. But is the
evil presence that appears to be seeking vengeance from the afterlife actually
David's dearly departed wife or is someone else attempting their own elaborate
and deadly hoax? |

NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.
Vinegar Syndrome transfer the 1979 spooky thriller "Dominique"
on a dual-layered
Blu-ray disc with an
accompanying DVD. The 1.85:1 HD image is given a maxed-out bitrate. This
is 'newly scanned and restored in 2K from its 35mm negative'. The
texture of the image is quite grain heavy, with the occasional scratch
or blip. These instances of damage are sporadic and should not deter
anyone from watching the film. "Dominique" is notable for its use of
red, blue, and green light filters creating a surreal atmosphere. These
colors seem to be faithfully represented for this transfer. A lot of
scenes take place in the dark, emphasizing the unknown lurking in the
shadows. The contrast levels are decent here, without crushing blacks. A
fine 1080P transfer from the folks at Vinegar Syndrome. |
