The Letterboxed transfer beautifully recreates Denis Crossan's superb looking cinematography. Much of the film was shot at night and the atmospheric lighting is faithfully rendered on this DVD, plus the level of shadow detail is excellent. Color reproduction is first rate, with all of the vivid greens, lush oranges and bright blues being perfectly rendered without a hint of chroma noise. Solid authoring keep digital compression artifacts to a minimum. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has an active mix that takes full advantage of the discrete nature of the format.
Sound effects jump out at the viewer at key moments- heightening the scary moments.
The track has a fairly open sounding forward soundstage and precise dialogue reproduction. Bass is authoritative, giving the track a solid bottom end. English and French Dolby Surround soundtracks are also provided, as are English, Spanish and French subtitles. The interactive menus are standard issue, providing the requisite scene selection and setup features. Access to the disc's supplements is also available through the menu system.
