The musical score by Don Davis suggests a scarier movie, while Rick Bota's cinematography is crisp. Obviously money can't buy everything, especially quality. The production, lighting and photography design all get respect from the digital transfer, which recreates the film's widescreen aspect ratio with exquisite attention to detail. Delivered in anamorphic widescreen, there isn't one iota of digital compression artifacts or noise visible. Instead, you get sharper, crisp images that look terrific.
Contrast is excellent, especially in the low lit scenes that never lose their detail.
Warm colors mix well with cold interiors. Flesh tones are natural, while colors look good with absolutely no bleeding. Saturation is perfect. Depth of field is quite impressive, especially in the dark scenes. Blacks hold up even under the worst conditions, while a pristine print allows for pure whites and grays.
