Video Quality

The 4K restoration is sharp and atmospheric. Nighttime and low-light scenes gain better detail; shadows remain deep while maintaining texture. Highlights—lamps, windows, gore effects—pop with precision. The film’s gothic, moody visuals benefit from the HDR treatment without losing the horror aesthetic. Grain is natural, not over-smoothed, preserving the cinematic feel.

Audio Quality

The Atmos track delivers strong spatial cues: whispers, footsteps, creaks, ambient noises all surround you. The 5.1 mix is solid and immersive; the stereo track is faithful and clean. Dialogue is clear and well anchored. Music score, vocal effects, and horror sound design feel balanced and powerful, especially in suspenseful moments.
