WORK – Inhaling evil...
Five students drive to a party in the middle of the desert, but the trip is short; They are forced to stop in an old abandoned hotel and are quickly disturbed by a stubborn stench.
From a great banality to a final twist near (which it is easy to guess after an hour), this pretentious slasher « walk » free of charge the spectator between paranormal events and murders of djeuns far too dispersed. Fun and particularly badly jerked (scenario, staging and action), this horror-free movie surfacing in the septic tank thanks to its killer who smells of death!
IMAGE – Lost in the desert
More « clean » that it should, this image captured in 35 mm during shooting « breathing » Digital manipulation in full nose!
The silver granulation is in fact strangely moderate (when it is not frozen in the background), the details (soft by nature with this one) regularly accentuated and the contrasts in autopilot.
And if the colours (blue sky, red blood) like the light sources (sunset, interior lighting) are more alive than in the past, it is unfortunate that the naturally repulsive photograph of the work has been (mal) modernized in this way.
SON – The noise of « the Reaper »
Even if stripped behind (only music has found the path of surrounds), this multichannel soundtrack encoded in DTS-HD MA can rely on the presence of its voices and the relevance of its dynamic range to sound this « memorable » Nights near a sinister motel.
CONCLUSION – ... Expire death
To stay alive, run away from the smell of decomposition and choose to live... In short, stay away from this 4K Ultra HD release!
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
