Rating: Summary: Not quite as good as previous release(s) Review: While the new slim packaging is nice and I can't argue the price, there are two things I find wrong with the Dracula Legacy collection. First of all, the production notes for all the films were left off. Why? I sold my Son of/Daughter of disc in anticipation of this coming out, so now I've lost them. But more importantly, the sound on the original Dracula film is, to my ears, much worse than the 1999 release- certain words are now inaudible- and since I saved my Dracula disc, I can verify this. Whereas before, dialogue was given a boost- it hasn't now and it's just a monotonous blur. The transfer still remains bad, but I can't say which one is better or if it is actually the same print. Keep these criticisms in mind, if given the choice between buying the original discs (which lack HOD) and the new set. I haven't seen anyone else complain about the audio differences in other reviews...
