Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce the HD DVD release of Brad Armstrong's acclaimed Curse Eternal. This new edition of the erotic jessica drake / Kaylani Lei adventure is the first adult HD DVD title to reach the marketplace in a 1080p transfer. Wicked's initial venture into the HD DVD format, The Camp Cuddly Pines Power Tool Massacre, was the first title of its kind to be released in the adult industry.
The dramatic increase in image quality seen in this new edition of Curse Eternal helped the title garner a perfect, 5.0 rating this week from noted industry retailers Adult DVD Empire.
ADE's reviewer is effusive in his praise of the new release, noting "this is the first adult title to be released with a full 1080p transfer (all previous ones have been 720p), and the image literally 'pops' off the screen in brilliant, bright colors, and with the kind of sharpness I’ve come to expect from the HD DVD format."
The review concludes with a similar rave, calling Curse Eternal "the first 'must-own' HD DVD release to hit store shelves." Wicked Vice President Of DVD Production JACKIE RAMOS sees the move to 1080p as being a serious factor in the increasing popularity of the format, enthusing that "the 1080p encode takes the adult HD DVD experience through the roof, and gives the consumer the same kind of image quality they've been seeing in mainstream HD DVD releases."
An outspoken advocate of HD DVD technology in the media, Ramos was recently the subject of a FOX NEWS piece about the adult industry's role in driving new developments in content delivery.
As one of last year's most highly-touted standard DVD releases, Curse Eternal won Best Release and Best Single Performance - Actor (Randy Spears) from the XRCO (X-Rated Critics Organization), which also recognized the uniformly excellent quality of Armstrong's work for the past year with a Best Director (Features) trophy. The Adam Film World Awards also praised the movie, giving the big budget production a well-deserved Best Epic statuette.
For his part, Ramos sees both Curse Eternal and the raves its has been generating in the press as indicative of Wicked's overall commitment to quality and innovation. "In embracing this new technology, I'm proud to say that Wicked is once again prominently on the leading edge."
