Running Time: 76 minutes
THE CREEPS is a genuine 3-D film shot on 35mm with Chris Condon Stereovision lenses. These lenses utilize a 3-D filming technique called "over and under." During filming, a normal 35mm film frame is exposed by two lenses (one for each eye view) instead of one. The top half of the film frame is exposed by one lense and the bottom half of the frame by the other lense. Hence, the name "over and under."
Great care was taken during the transfer and multiplexing (combining the two eye views) to correct convergence in many shots and scenes. The quality of 3-D on this disc is excellent for field sequential home viewing.
This disc contains stereo (3-D) menus and logos, as well.
The Creeps has been available in 2D, but is now available for the first time ever in 3-D on DVD. To our knowledge, this DVD represents the first legitimately released feature-length 3-D film in field sequential 3-D. A must have for 3-D collectors!
*Viewing this disc requires 3D shutter glasses.
*This disc is region coded 1-5. (No China)
*This disc is an NTSC field sequential 3D DVD

I've watched this, and it generally looks really good. There are a couple of scenes that don't work- including the first one, which isn't the fault of the transfer, but is distracting.

The transfer isn't as widescreen as the film was intended. I asked about this and was told that there was a camera problem that made some of the picture unusable so it was cropped down a bit.

The result is that sometimes action happens much too close to the edge of the safe-action area. The monitor I watched it on hasn't been calibrated for that, so I can't say exactly how much of a problem it is, but it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people have some trouble with their TVs.

This could be fixed by windowboxing, I guess, but I've never been a big fan of doing that (DVDs are low enough resolution to begin with). And maybe it's just me anyway. :-)

I'll look at it on a non-overscanning display later, and I need to calibrate the big tube to make sure that's right anyway, so I'll followup some more.

Anyway, those minor things aside, this disc is fabulous 3-D. Would've liked subtitles and some extras to round out the disc, but the presentation is top-notch.

I eagerly await more from these guys.
