## Customer feedback

Customer feedback is strongly positive overall, with customers highlighting the picture and transfer, extras, performances—particularly Anthony Hopkins—and the film’s suspenseful intensity. These reports align with the listing’s restoration and supplemental-feature claims, but they are customer perceptions rather than a guarantee of playback results. A small share of ratings are at the low end, so the aggregate response does not mean every buyer had the same experience.
