So the movie lovers everywhere are able to get an overview before watching the film itself. And here we provide different things from previous reviews. And we make sure you as the movie lovers will be satisfied with it. High-definition video video higher resolution and quality from standard definition. Although there is no standard meaning for high-definition video images, generally with far more than 480 horizontal lines (North America) or 576 horizontal lines (Europe) are considered high definition. 480 scan lines are generally a minimum although most system greatly exceeded the limit. Standard resolution image captured at a rate much faster than usual (60 frames/second North America, 50 fps Europe), by high speed camera can be considered high-definition in some contexts. Several television series shot in high-definition video that is made to look as if they've been shot on film, a technique that is often known as the filmizing. HDTV broadcast systems associated with three main parameters: Frame size in pixels is defined as the number of pixels horizontal × vertical pixels, for example number of 1280 × 720 or 1920 × 1080. Often times the number of pixels horizontally are implied from context and omitted, as in the case of 720 p and 1080 p. Scanning system is identified with the letter p for progressive scanning or i for interlaced scan. Frame rate is identified as the number of video frames per second. For interlaced systems, the number of frames per second must be specified, but it is not uncommon to see a level playing field which is used instead. Naming of commercial products, frame rate often falls and implied from context (e.g., a television set 1080i). Frame rate can also be specified without a resolution. For example 24 p means 24 progressive scan frames per second, and 50i means 25 interlaced frames per second. There is no standard for HDTV color support. The color is usually broadcast using YUV (10-bit per channel) However, depending on the underlying technology produces an image of the recipient, it is then converted to RGB color spaces that use standard algorithms. When sent directly through the Internet, the colors usually pre-convert to 8-bit RGB channels for additional storage savings with the assumption that it's only viewable only on a computer screen (sRGB). As an added benefit to the original broadcaster, pre-conversion losses are basically making these files is not suitable for professional TV Broadcasting again.

DEATH POOL *** U.S.A. 2016 Dir: Jared Cohn 95 mins

As a young boy, Johnny Taylor was severely traumatised by his evil babysitter in his swimming pool; resulting in him being petrified of water. Years later, as a young adult he is jobless, in debt and living on a cocktail of weed and alcohol so in a last ditch attempt to pay off some of his debt he unwillingly agrees to help his friend with his pool cleaning business. Tempted into the water by attractive females he soon finds his feet and discovers a way of coping with his fear and anger issues by drowning said ladies.
His exploits don’t go unnoticed and his trail of victims earns him the title of The Valley Drowner. His new found fame means he is on the run from the police and an increasingly large following of admirers. A fun movie from the director of Hold Your Breath (2012) and The Horde (2016), both of which had very mixed reviews and are not to everyone’s taste, but Jared Cohn is going against the haters as he brings another offering in a similar vein. With a mix of genres in the soundtrack and a fair amount of drug and alcohol consumption this does have a lot more than that going for it, the story is based on true events (I believe), and has great flamboyant characters as well as pretty ladies. With that being said though it does have moments of cringe worthy dialogue and does get quite cheesy and predictable but it is to be expected. I can’t hate this movie because there are more things to like about it then dislike so can overlook the awful bits. Starring Randy Wayne (Hold Your Breath,Hellraiser: Judgement) as the incredibly good looking Johnny Taylor, Demetrius Stear (Evil Nanny) as Brandon, Sara Malakul Lane (Kickboxer: Vengeance) as Scarlet and a brief appearance from Writer/Director James Cullen Bressack who all put in an acceptable performance but it is a shame that some of the others involved are pretty rubbish. Blood and gore is pretty much non existent here, though I find the idea of being drowned really quite traumatic in itself so found certain scenes suitably uncomfortable without the need for a lot of effects. At times he doesn’t always need to use a pool either. Wayne’s character provides a certain sick poetic romance to one particular kill as well so I don’t think a large amount of gore is really necessary or warranted in this instance. The way this is filmed, acted and written is not bad at all but in my opinion will only ever score the high end of a 3 star review but I enjoyed it and definitely think its worth a few watches.
