The House in the Woods is a moderately interesting, obviously low budget, film. It has an appealing intangible under the surface.

Unfortunately, Network's SD image quality is very below par, although it is good enough to 'watch' (with modest expectations). I kind of, enjoyed my viewing once I got over the subs-standard a/v. The single-layered transfer from a limited source produces artifacts and faint contrast. Strangely, the 'Cue Blips' for the projectionist are more frequent that I have seen previously and highly visible (see last capture). It has scratches and speckles and the audio can sound scattered. To be fair, Network does state :"Though The House in the Woods is presented here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio, there are still some issues with the soundtrack. While they have been corrected as much as possible viewers will notice intermittent audio issues."

No extras, a true bare-bones disc, but the very reasonable price reflects that. I'd say this is more for serious vintage film fans and students who are more concerned with an interesting film than a demo disc for their Home Theaters.
