Audio:
Talk about blistering sound! The audio portion of this disc is terrifyingly good! The 5.1 digital platform transforms your home theater into your very own house of horrors. There are so many things going bump just about everywhere that you’ll be looking over your shoulder for a good portion of the films’ presentation. The sub & surrounds are put to good use and the center is crystalline in its delivery of the films’ dialogue. In some areas the surrounds overpower the center but, by adjusting the volume on the center this is easily corrected. There is a director’s commentary that accompanies the movie that’s rather well done. William Malone(Director) identifies all the nuances he expereinced in making the film & seems to be very happy with the end result. Insightful & entertaining, I found his talk to be interesting & enjoyable at the same time. One of the funnier moments of the commentary is when Malone is discussing Rush’s character. Geoffrey Rush in John Water’s clothes = Vincent Price! While there are a fair amount of quiet moments in the commentary, Malone’s insights when provided are really great. Great Commentary!
