{"product_id":"0881190003398","title":"School of the Holy Beast","description":"\"This lesser-known Japanese shocker gets an all-around solid treatment on DVD from Cult Epics. The transfer for School of the Holy Beast is very attractive, offering an anamorphic, letterboxed transfer that is bursting with rich primary colors and a vivid level of detail. The eagle-eyed viewer might notice some slight desaturation in the black levels, but these aspects don't affect the overall enjoyment factor of this presentation. The audio track used is a Japanese mono mix presented with easy-to-read English subtitles; there's a bit of distortion in some parts, but the mix remains listenable throughout. There is also a trio of extras offered. The first is the amusing, hyperbolic Japanese trailer. The other two are a pair of video interviews with actress Yumi Takigawa and film critic Risaku Kiradoushi. Takigawa shares some surprising tales of her contentious relationship with the film (and its director), and Kiradoushi provides some interesting contextual information about how the film was received and its place in Japanese pop culture. All in all, this disc offers a solid presentation and worthwhile extras, making it a worthwhile pick for fans of Japanese cult cinema.\"","brand":"Matthew Keith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47088975905008,"sku":"0881190003398","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0881190003398_p0.jpg?v=1763885493","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0881190003398","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
