✅ 1080p Full HD Transfer

• Excellent clarity, strong colors, and no visible compression issues
• Fine grain retained from the film’s faux-1930s opening reels ️
• Dark scenes in Dracula’s lair hold up well without black crush
• Slightly softer than the 4K version — but still a beautiful presentation for Blu-ray

➔ One of Shout Factory’s sharpest and most colorful horror-comedy BDs yet!

Audio Quality

5.0/5

✅ DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Surround

• Boisterous surround usage during chaotic action and fight scenes
• Crisp, punchy effects — bone-cracking punches and glass-shattering explosions
