WORK – Monster Hunter
On a dark night, a secret cabal of monster hunters comes out of the shadow and meets in a sinister temple after the death of their leader. In a strange and macabre memorial, participants are pushed into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic – a hunt that will eventually lead them to face a dangerous monster.
On the margins of the MCU Avengers were not invited), this gloomy and nostalgic private Universal Monsters impose as a joyfully anachronistic parenthesis in phase 4, where horror « dusty » allows for a bit of humour and a lot of graphic violence (cut limbs, burned bodies and high skulls). Nicely shot, solidly incarnated (from actors to fantastic faces) and singularly inspired in all that he undertakes (his gothic atmosphere, his moments of action, his monstrous bestiary), this medium film is a real surprise that proves that The House of Ideas is still able to surprise.
IMAGE – In red and black
Marked by an aged aspect (dirty, reel change markers), this UHD Dolby Vision picture is beautifully velvety (a detailed black and white with a falsely silvery texture) and strongly contrasting evokes in its rendering (intoxicating mist included) Dracula (1931), Invisible Man (1933) or Frankestein's Bride (1935).
As for the red color, strongly dotted in the way of Sin CityIt pierces the sepulchral atmosphere that haunts the place.
SON – Cries in the night
Fabulously rhythmic by the score of Michael Giacchino (also in the position of director), a macabre ode to the films of Dantan filled with coppers and violins, this somewhat shy soundtrack on the dynamic side (a bolder hair in VF) and bass (an LFE channel on the reserve) catch up with very effective spatialization (especially in VO). « Dolby Atmouse » where effects such as atmospheres take on height) and voices of great clarity.
CONCLUSION – Marvel releases claws?
Aesthetically treated, this delicious tribute to the horror of the 1930s is available on Disney+ with robust A/V performance (Dolby Vision encoding and VO Dolby Atmos). Bite him full of teeth!
