“I was old when the Pharaohs first mounted
The jewel-deck’d throne by the Nile;
I was old in those epochs uncounted
When I, and I only, was vile;
And Man, yet untainted and happy, dwelt in bliss on the far Arctic isle.”

Nightflyers is a 1987 American science fiction horror film directed by Robert Collector (as T.C. Blake) based on Nightflyers, a 1980 novella by George R. R. Martin. (wiki)
The movie has a notably “misty” look, blurring colors and detail. Though this movie has never been released on DVD, Blu-ray, or high-definition streaming, this was a deliberate choice by the producers, director, and cinematographer. They wanted to depict a “dream-like” state in an era before high-definition home video was even possible, much less affordable.
