WORK - Shark on legs

At the end of the Australian desert saw an indestructible creature able to shred a man in half and destroy a house in seconds. More than 400 kilos of defenses and muscles with the sole aim of terrorizing the small isolated community of Gamulla, a city as violent and primitive as the beast that threatens it...

This change in Teeth of the sea Located in the Australian Outback is a horrific thriller with a rather unique atmosphere. Abounded by ideas and sparse rednecks, it compensates for its limited means by a stunning plastic bill (of Russell Mulcahy pure juice), a clever staging and a nightmare creature who knows how to cure his appearances. Great classic of the « Ozploitation », Razorback It's timeless!

IMAGE - Animal nature

Despite some still unstable plans (squakes) and a lot of dust on the master, this UHD transfer from the 2018 4K restoration respects the granular texture of the photograph (no DNR), delivers a high level of detail (without yielding to any artificial accentuation), restores deliberately hypersaturated colors (orange skys, steel blues) and benefits from extremely pushed contrasts (more sliced than before) (abyssal blacks and harshly bright whites).

But without the presence of WCG and HDR technologies, the differences with the Blu-ray (including the French edition in July 2019) are so small that unlike the monstrous boar, they will go unnoticed for most spectators (the compression HEVC contributes to a better breath of the 35 mm skate).

Razorback

In the Outback, no one will hear you scream

For sure dated but particularly lively, mixing 5.1 uses countless off-the-shelf effects and crazi atmospheres to plunge us into the heart of the bush's desolate regions. Spaceization is never artificial, the rear enclosures are in the fire of action, the basses have a resumption and the voices are generally clear (except 2-3 dialogues in retreat).

CONCLUSION - Shadow and Proies

A paragon of Australian cinema deviating, this pure product of 80s including his fans Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg Stores his groin in a 4K Ultra HD « wild » (crude A/V de-offrage services) to better attack us from its surreal beauty!

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
