This disk contains four episodes from the first season of the series: Imprint, Homecoming, Haeckel's Tale, and Chocolate. The extras are a bit sparse but include a commentary for each one. The commentary for Chocolate was pretty interesting because Mick Garris (the director) had a lot to do with the production of the MOH series itself and he has a few things to say about it's inception. Noticeably absent is a commentary by the director or writer of Imprint; I would have loved to hear their take on it instead of a second hand American journalist's opinions.
I watched this blu-ray in 1080i with a ps3 and the picture looked great. In particular Imprint really gives the high definition medium a chance to shine with it's vivid colors, stark contrast, and eerily beautiful imagery. If it wasn't for the content I'd say it would make a great showcase for what kind of quality you can really get from a high definition picture.

This series reminds me of Tales of the crypt.Imprint,was really the only shocking,graphic story, the others were good, but not really as gory as I expected. The horror is more cerebral than gross out. I felt the disc needed more special features and extras.

Yes Masters of horror does rock. Anyone who likes the horror genre should get this masters of horror series now. The Blu-ray edition is fantastic. Some blu-ray movies i have seen dont really live up to what i have come to expect from HD but the Masters of Horror Blu-ray is beautiful. I dont think Blood and guts have ever looked so good!
