Some flecking dots the landscape, with has good depth of field and okay attention to detail. No real compression artifacts to speak of. Nice stereo effects and lots of rear speaker action keep things lively. Dialogue mix is good, while all ends of the sound spectrum sound clean. Rear speakers pump out crystal clear musical cues and creepy ambient noise with assurance.
Basses are light, but middle and high ends purr.
The DVD also include the film's original theatrical trailer. For some reason, the film seems to work better on the small screen than the large. Even though the screenplay still has some wonderful Bradbury flourishes, it has been tidied up to accommodate the Disney factory, which produced and released the film. The DVD offers the best possibly presentation, including a stereo soundtrack that is effectively creepy, and a decent picture delivered in the film's original widescreen ratio. Newcomers Vidal Petersen and Shawn Carson are engaging as Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade, best friends living in the small town of Green Town, Illinois.
