Overview - The original Christmas Horror Story was quite a bouncy affair, four storylines weaving back and forth throughout. MusicEd aims for a more traditional anthology style.
Video - 1920 X 1080p AVC. The look is good. There has been substantial work here, reassembling disparate scenes into one narrative, or rather four narratives. No problems. NOTE : PAL format.
Audio - 384 kbps AAC, 2 Channel stereo. No subs. There is plenty of dialogue in every chapter. Voices were clean throughout, so subs were not necessary, at least not for me.
Narrative - Solid. Using Shatner (DJ Dangerous Dan) as an interconnecting element is a wise move. It is also done better here than in the original. Better. Personally, I think chapters 2 and 3 should be switched. There is a callback reveal in #3 that, to me, should have been sorted. Also, #3 and #4 are the most action driven episodes and I believe the film would have breathed better had they been switched.
Enjoyment - OK, let’s get to the elephant first. The filesize is 10.9 GB! Really? Bring this thing down, please. Noted, move on.
I really liked this a lot. More people should see this, especially during the season. C’mon guys, quit watching all your Hallmark favorites.
I would watch this every year, especially if I could burn it. Great job, MusicEd, rousing fun.
