The Devil Commands Blu-ray Screenshots (Patreon)

Video

Seemingly unrestored, this messy presentation is among the weakest in Mill Creek's box set. Resolution is low enough to cause visible aliasing on numerous edges; the bigger the screen, the more it's apparent. Lackluster grain replication looks entirely digital, less grain than blocky artifacts.

Print damage comes and goes, but does turn toward severe numerous times. Murky gray scale withers in middle tones, better in brightness than black levels, but that's graded on a curve in this case. There's minimal detail to see as The Devil Commands barely betters DVD in sharpness.

Audio

Dated as expected, the audio fares better than the video at least. Dialog replication belies the age, pure, crisp, and clean considering the early sound/cheap recording source. Minimal music, certainly stock material, sounds older than the rest, waning in clarity. The ancient thunder effects sound older still. Static and popping intrude at various times.
