NOTE: the Anchor Bay DVD is identical to the Blue Underground release HERE.

ADDITION: Twilight Time - Region FREE' - Blu-ray - November 18': Not much difference with the image quality - also dual-layered with a high bitrate - sometimes skin tones can seem cooler but it looks like there isn't enough to determine a superior release between the two Blu-rays.

Audio is more of a bump with, like the 88 Films, both English and Italian tracks in lossless transfers. But Twilight Time add the Isolated score option of Morricone's music (A Bullet for the General, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion, U Turn, Stay As You Are etc. etc.) and it sounds wonderfully rich and stylistic. English subtitles are also options (see sample below.) The Twilight Time is Region FREE and limited to 3,000 units.

Both English and Italian trailers are also here but the big addition is Twilight Time's audio commentary with Film Historians David Del Valle (author of Six Reels Under) and Matteo Molinari (author of The Horror Movie Survival Guide). It's very enjoyable and educational - Giallo fans will appreciate it.

Depending on your obsession with the genre, the Twilight Time Blu-ray of Short Night of Glass Dolls may be worthy of a double dip with the advantages of the commentary, isolated score, liner notes plus the disc is Region FREE. Superior Giallo - essential!   

ADDITION: 88 Films - Region 'B' - Blu-ray - March 17': You can see the vast improvement of the 1080P over the SD image in the comparison captures below. It is described as a "New 2K Restoration from the Original Camera Negative". Skin tones cool and become far more realistic, detail rises, there is more information in the frame etc. No contest. I appreciate the texture of the higher resolution transfer - it's lush and fairly consistent and gives the BD presentation a, very pleasing, film-like quality. It has both English and Italian seamlessly branched (same transfer.)

88 Films use linear PCM tracks at 1536 kbps (16-bit) for both English and Italian languages (both cited as 'Restored'). It's imperfect (obvious DUBs) with modest effects - competent if unremarkable - much along the lines of the production - but the score by the iconic Ennio Morricone (A Bullet for the General, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion, U Turn, Stay As You Are etc. etc.) adds a delicious atmosphere of mystery and suspense adding to the film experience. There are English subtitles for the Italian version and my Oppo has identified it as being Region 'B'-locked.

Only extras are a couple of trailers (English and Italian) but it's a wonderful Giallo with non-linear timelines. Well above-average, imo. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The 88 Films is the way to go to watch Short Night of Glass Dolls in your home theatre!
