Story Synopsis:
Never Talk To Strangers is a chilling suspense thriller starring Rebecca DeMornay as Dr. Sarah Taylor, a brilliant criminal psychologist who begins an exhilarating affair with the charming, enigmatic Tony Ramirez (Banderas). Tony’s succeeds in breaking through Sarah’s personal emotional walls, but a series of increasingly disturbing events threatens to destroy them.
LaserDisc Picture:
The matted 1.85:1 picture is mediocre and wanting in sharpness and detail, with interior scenes a bit too dark. Color fidelity is excellent with vivid colors. Noise is apparent in the darker scenes but there are no artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is veiled in fidelity and limited in dynamics with electronically processed dialogue that, while recorded on interior sets sounds unnatural. Essentially a mono movie, it surround presence is extremely subtle.
