WORK - Poultry Fiction

Ocean Beach is a small town on the peaceful side that leads a quiet existence until a baby and a sinner disappear in strange circumstances...

If you have to be wary of the water that sleeps, especially since the present marine monster spares nothing or anyone (baby, women and children), this ersatz of the Teeth of the sea With a limited budget (engulfed by his cast of stars) takes up all the clichés without ever succeeding in reproducing its anguish and reducing its horror to a congruent portion. But here, the rise of the last straight line (from the regatta) saves him from drowning.

IMAGE - Sunbathing and turquoise waters

With high quality AVC encoding and stability of first order, this HD transfer delivers pleasantly organic images where clarity is always in place, including underwater scenes, thanks to an appetizing level of detail and good contrast management.

And while it is true that they are still barred with impurities (dust and other vertical stripes abound) and that the SFX planes remain below (a lesser definition and an increased grain), the delicately saturated colorimetric palette makes you want to take the sea.

- Cut the radios!

Three rooms, two ambiances, for Dual Mono proposals whose only VO with clear dialogues deserves your attention. Because she has no breath and is much more homogeneous than her friends, she uses a more pronounced dynamic while restoring the score of Stelvio Cipriani and the many sound effects that come to animate the seabed.

As for the two double versions (French and Italian), in addition to being polluted by a more or less glaring breath, they lose many ambiances and suffer from a particularly deaf voice rendering. Surprisingly, the end credits gain a guillerette instrumentation to add to the original score.

« There must be something - monstrous out there. Monstrous. »

CONCLUSION - The sea is its buffet

Even if the nightmare from the depths disappoints, the Angoisse Collection of Rimini Editions we serve it, as usual, in a pretty three-folded digipack surmounted by a cardboard sheath where the Blu-ray, decorated with meritorious A/V performances, is accompanied by a 24-page booklet (designed by the indefatigable Marc Toulelec) dedicated to the career ofOvidio G. Assonitis.

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
