Any true aficionado of either thrillers or the work of Wes Craven will be easy targets for this new 4k UHD from Paramount.
And in this case, they can buy in confidence.
Since this is a fillum that was created on a late generation of 35mm film stock, film grain is either hardly in evidence or has been massaged, but that’s of no matter, as everything looks terrific.
The image is extremely highly resolved, and is herein reproduced with great care. Audio is also superbly handled and is now in Dolby Atmos.
Performances are believable, with Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy as the pro and antagonists, working their way through fun screenplay by Carl Ellsworth.
In short, this is an easy one. Fun thriller. Great 4k release.
Packaging is attractive, with the normal gatefold cover done in underlying metallic. Only oddity is that nowhere on the cover or spine does it note 4k. This may be the case because the film may not have been previously released on either format.
Package contains both 4k and Blu-ray, with all extras on the Blu-ray disc.
Image – 5 (Dolby Vision)
Audio – 5 (Dolby Atmos)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Plays nicely with projectors – Yes
Makes use of and works well in 4k – 4.25
Upgrade from Blu-ray – DID it ever come out on Blu-ray domestically? if so, Absolutely!
