    I tried to watch it again recently and it looks like absolute trash. I appreciate directors being experimental but at least with old analog formats they scale pretty well with modern resolutions.

      I enjoyed rewatching both first and second films recently and I think they hold up pretty well on my 4K TV. What specifically made them look like absolute trash to you?

        The first was filmed with extremely low resolution, so it looks like it was filmed in extremely low resolution

          I personally appreciate the aesthetic of the original. To each their own I guess 😊

            I’m with you on that. Gives a rawness and out of sorts kind of feeling that Jim would have been experiencing.

            But it’s one of my favourite movies, so I’m biased. It’s up there with Train to Busan for zombie-flicks for me.
