Product Description

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 availble 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!

Enjoy The Creeps in 3D For Your TV!

*Viewing this disc requires 3D shutter glasses. *This disc is region coded 1-5. *This disc is an NTSC field sequential 3D DVD

3D For Your TV only distributes genuine, real, true 3-D content.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best 3-D DVD Yet, January 28, 2005

By	A. Braunsdorf "3-D fanatic" (Purdue University) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Field-sequential" or "alternating-image" 3-D isn't a new idea on video. The biggest push for it was in the mid-80s by JVC for their VHD format. That format didn't make it in the US, but many of the 3-D movies they transferred have been endlessly copied to make bootleg tapes and DVDs.

Since then, other movies have been released in that format, but they're all either shot on video with a NuView camcorder adaptor, "converted" from 2-D movies, or a few CGI IMAX 3-D movies. None of the many films photographed in 3-D over the last fifty years or so are available in good, legit 3-D DVDs.

Until now, that is. This disc marks a major stride forward for the format. Here we have a nice, clean, well-registered transfer of a 3-D film presented in 3-D.

How good is the 3-D and the transfer? Pretty darn good. The transfer is slightly narrower than the movie was intended to be. I'm told this is because there were some problems with the film that made it necessary to crop it down a bit. Overall, it came out OK, but there are several scenes that have action too near the edge of the screen. Even on a non-overscanning display, it's a bit too tight.

As usual in 3-D movies, there are some scenes that just don't work. That's not the fault of this disc, but it makes some scenes tough to watch. Unfortunately, the worst shot is the very first. It's pretty much unwatchable. The good news is it only lasts as long as the opening credits and things pick up considerably from there.

Speaking of watching, what do you need to watch this? To watch it on a TV, you'll need shutter glasses (not included, but widely available) and an interlaced display. That means you can't use a plasma or LCD display and you'll need to disable progressive display on your DVD player. If you can't do that, there are options for viewing on computers with certain combinations of hardware and software.

So the 3-D's good, how's the disc? Other than the nice presentation of the film, the disc is plain-jane, lacking not only special features, but subtitles and closed-captions as well. The usual 3-D setup test pattern is available, and the menus are in 3-D as well, which is nice to make sure your system is up and running right. The disc has chapters in appropriate places.

Sounds good, but how's the movie? Well, this review is for this disc and the 3-D presentation here- you can find plenty of reviews of the flat version here on Amazon and elsewhere. I'm not recommending the disc for the movie itself, though if you can handle the goofy tone the filmmakers obviously intended, it's well made and fluffy enough that it's tough to be too hard on it. And Dracula really is fantastic. I've seen a lot of movies that were a lot worse, both in 3-D and flat.

Bottom line: for 3-D enthusiasts and collectors (and fans of this movie, I guess), this disc is a must have. This is, hands down, the best way to watch this movie on video. 3D For Your TV could have a hit on their hands, and almost certainly will if they can find some better (or at least better known) movies for their future projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best 3D on DVD on the market, February 7, 2005

By	Lynsie "owencohen" (Oklahoma City, OK. USA) - See all my reviews

Anyone interested in 3D movies will be blown away by this one. The 3D image in it is so superior to any I've ever seen, including IMAX!! The story is silly, but interesting, only it is the 3D graphics that will keep you watching this over and over. There is enough "out of the screen" action to make you giggle, and the in depth image is so crystal clean. I can only hope that the company that made it, 3dforyourtv.com will continue to produce more of these fun movies in such a great 3D format.

5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD is what I waited for !, February 8, 2005

By	St. Ereoscopus (Germany, Europe) - See all my reviews

I recently bought this DVD and man, am I glad having done so.
Although I'm a european resident, the NTSC disc plays fine here in PAL-country and I had a lot of fun watching this smart little self-ironic horror movie in 3D. the disc offers an intro and a dvd-menu, both in 3D and also a testing chart, to be used to properly adjust the 3d-glasses or any other means of viewing. The image is razor sharp and because the set was always well lit, the 3D effect is always at it's best. the movie is presented in a letterbox format, that's a good thing. a slightly bad one is, that the widescreen image has been blown up and part of the image at left and right sides is missing, due to vignetting caused by the stereovison system used during shooting, as I was informed. that is a little pitty, but no reason to avoid this real cool and professional 3D DVD.
"The Creeps"' story is playing with stereotypes of b-grade horror movies
and reaches one of it's many peaks when four famous monsters of classic horror movies come to live, but in small size.
one must see the tiny dracula with a mexican accent who's asking "What's that - movie?".
For those like me, who like to sit through the end credits there's a jolly, musical "secret scene" at the very ending of the movie.
After having bought and seen a lot of crap on the 3D field-sequential 3D DVD market, I would buy blindly every single further DVD that comes from this company. The price/qual
Just to make shure, I am not related in any kind to the publishers of "The Creeps", I am just very much enjoying their first product, hoping many 3D movies will follow.
When will the major studios get to know the huge market of 3D enthusiasts out there eagerly awaiting 3D releases like this one? Imagine "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" in an 3D DVD edition like "The Creeps"- Sharp, splendid looking? Wouldn't that be just great?
