NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.

Both "The Boneyard" Blu-ray discs bring us the film in HD 1080p MPEG-4 AVC Video with 88 films having a slightly higher bitrate. Code Red claims an "Extensive Color Correction Exclusive" to their release and though I prefer this version, it is only slightly noticeable. In most shots you can see a bit of difference in the black levels, having a somewhat deeper and darker color. Both transfers look pretty remarkable for a film from 1991. There is some grain evident in most shots, but it is not distracting and the detail seems to be a faithful representation of the original theatrical negative.

Audio: Both films offer us a Linear PCM 2.0 Stereo track. The Code Red Blu-ray has a somewhat richer and deeper sound, being technically more robust (24-bit vs. 88 film's 16-bit). The 88 films' Blu-ray sounds pretty good though, with the appropriate spooky sounds and effects doing all they can in 2.0 channel stereo. The film's score is thanks to John Lee Whitener and it is a beauty. The score has moments that recall horror films of the past while still being unique (I could've sworn I heard a Friday the 13th sound sound cue, not to mention a few moments that recall Penderecki's work used in The Shining). 88 Films Region 'B' Blu-ray offers optional English subtitles. Code Red, on their Region FREE Blu-ray has none.

Extras: 88 Films and Code Red both give us a great audio commentary with director James Cummins and producer Richard F. Brophy. The two give lots of juicy tidbits about the film, including the fact that 'Binny' the dog playing 'Floofsoms' was also the punk-rock dog from "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark" and "Ruthless People". The two even talk about a scene where the production had to be shut down for a few hours, due to two actors being at each other's throats. Both Code Red and 88 Films also include identical interviews with the director and producer, running about 30-minutes on the Code Red, and split into two separate options on the 88 Films. Code Red has one exclusive extra, being an interview with actress Sallie Middleton by the producer Phil Smoot. This is an interesting addition and recommended for fans of the film. 88 Films also includes the film's trailer, this is not on the Code Red release. Both have reversible cover art (strangely being the cover of the other Blu-ray.)

This film really surprised me with its humor and style. Fans of "so-bad-its-good" cinema will be sure to eat this up. Phyllis Diller and Norman Fell are a riot. Though both transfers are worthy of your purchase, I would personally lean towards the Code Red Blu-ray for their ever-so-slightly better blacks, better sound, and the extra featurette. The 88 films does have a higher bitrate and looks great in motion. English subtitles are absent from the Code Red Blu-ray. The back cover of the Code Red says "approx. 98 minutes" but this is not true, as the film runs approx 93 mins, just like the 88 films version. All things considered, either choice is sure to suffice. You won't forget this movie.
