Just spotted this on DVD Soon.

This is a highly enjoyable '80s movie by Larry Cohen that was a homage to the monster movies of the 1950s. Has a great lead performance from Michael Moriarty (whatever happened to him?) and some good old-fashioned stop-motion animation.

Amazed to see that for a "B" movie this DVD has a DTS 6.1 soundtrack!
 
I remember this movie, was quite enjoyable.

Last I saw of him he was in The 4400.

"Q" is a great little film and the R1 disc is pretty good. Can't say what the DTS track is like as I didn't have a DTS equipped system when I first bought it and haven't played it since on my new set up.

Anchor Bay have released the film in R2 with the same spec. If you wait a little while it'll crop up everywhere for around £6.99.
 
Actually, forget the Anchor Bay R2!

This from the review at DVD Times...

Despite its clean print and anamorphic transfer, Q’s region 2 release is something of a disappointment. Blighted by an NTSC to PAL transfer we therefore get intermittent artefacting, ghosting and a lack of definition to the image when it could have otherwise been quite impressive

Blue Underground is the one to go for.
 
I have the R1 disc and the sound is nothing to write home about. The film hasn't aged well either! :thumbsdow
