It’s worth checking out on a rental but I can’t imagine anyone wanting to sit through repeat viewings of it.

Video:
The 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio on "Ian Stone´s" widescreen presentation does the above average cinematography justice. It´s an attractive film and the transfer is great, especially after sitting through the other horrible looking films from the Horrorfest.

Audio:
The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track is fairly average but doesn´t sound as great as the film looks.

Extras:
The only extra on here is the same crappy nineteen minutes of "Miss Horrorfest Webisodes." I´d recommend steering clear of them, unless you´re into Hot Topic customers with daddy issues.

Film Value:
"The Many Deaths of Ian Stone" isn´t a horrible movie, it´s just not entertaining or interesting in any way past the first twenty minutes. It´s along the same lines as "The Butterfly Effect," a mediocre movie that could have been so much more. It´s worth checking out on a rental but I can´t imagine anyone wanting to sit through repeat viewings of it. For a better film dealing with a main charter continually dying a violent death only to awaken alive check out 2006´s "Salvage." It´s a bit slower paced, but a surprisingly fantastic film, dealing with a girl who continually dies brutal deaths only to reawaken at the beginning of the same day back at work. The only connection is the sinister stranger named Duke Desmond that finds her each time she wakes up. It´s a creepy film with an eerie vibe that thrives on its low budget nature.
