WORK – Blind revenge
A few years after Norman Nordstrom's first fatal break-in, he lives on quiet and peaceful days. But his old sins catch him...
Avoiding repetition by reversing the formula of his elder (the old monster is today the anti-hero in search of redemption), this brutal and anxious invasion home to the skillful staging and the damaged decorum, arises as a continuation of a dreadful efficiency ending in a wild revenge to the violence gore. Captivating, painful and full of suspense!
IMAGE – Dive into darkness
Bathed with darkness and rarely upset by compression worries (at a few noisy planes nearby), the magnificent sad and suffocating photograph of the work finds in this UHD HDR10 transfer a weight ally!
The excellent definition (point of softness here) does not leave anything behind even as the darkness surrounds, the details that are simply exceptional are presented with even more finesse than in HD (intimacy of the faces, the dirt of the clothes, the abundance of vegetation in the greenhouse), the palette of colors that is slightly loosened (including carnation) gives the brown, red and orange shades a warmness, the deep blacks fortunately better draw the elements hidden in the shadows and the light sources, while the places visited are naturally little lit, radiate more (torch lamp, wall panels, ceiling lights, vehicle lights, lights).
SOUND – See with noise
Fully exploit the audio landscape put at its service (spaceization is of great precision), this ultra-extensive 3D mixing makes us enjoy the tenfold hearing of « Blind » Hey!
Full of atmospheric ambiences (the cracks of the old house) and disturbing effects (such as the noises of step or the creaking of the floor on the floor) which it diffuses from all sides (the surrounding and high channels are at the party), this immersive soundtrack in devil (the trunk filling with water) can also count on the intensity of its dynamics (cf. the shots), the naturalness of its voices, the expressivity of its score and the demise of its basses.
Less extensive and oppressive (the loss of the verticality of the sound being the main cause), the VF(Q) is no less determined.
CONCLUSION – From executioner to hero!
Allowing a better immersion alongside a boogeymann (to the nascent humanity) who has it in his stomach, this ultra HD 4K that does not lack breath does not save anyone. When it hits, it hurts!
Nyctalope like Riddick and with a very good hearing, I am ready to jump on physical editions and SVOD platforms. But if the quality isn't on the rendezvous, stop at the bite! #WeLovePhysicalMedia
