The Butcher of Binbrook's Blu-ray debut shines with a 2K scan from the original negative, showcasing impressive detail, vibrant colors, and film-like grain. Despite some age-related wear, the uncut 1080p transfer maintains stellar contrast and inky blacks, setting a high standard for vintage horror on Blu-ray.

Audio: 76

Necrophagus offers DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono tracks in English and Spanish, with minimal discernible difference, though the Spanish version boasts a fuller midrange. Both audio versions offer clean dialogue despite loose sync due to dubbing, complemented by optional English subtitles derived from the English dub.

Extra: 46

The Blu-ray extras for 'The Butcher of Binbrook' offer a rich blend of cultural insights and historical context through well-researched commentary, festival appreciations by Ángel Sala, and a heartfelt remembrance by Maria Pilar Rafales, highlighted by high-definition trailers and region-free restorations.

Movie: 46

Narratively incoherent and aesthetically outdated, 'Necrophagus' awkwardly combines Gothic and giallo elements, culminating in a muddled yet mood-rich experience marked by primitive effects and a messy whodunit mystery—serving as an early indication of Spain's horror resurgence despite being overshadowed by contemporaneous Euroshockers.
