Cruel World Blu-rayEcho Bridge Entertainment | 2005 | 88 mins | Not rated | Oct 28, 2008
Cruel World(2005)Comedy | Drama | Horror | Thriller ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Millions witnessed Philip Markham's (Edward Furlong, Terminator 2: Judgment Day) public humiliation when he got dumped by Catherine, the beautiful star (Jaime Pressly, TV's My Name Is Earl) of a popular dating show, and now - several years and reality series later - he wants revenge. After taking Catherine captive, he lures nine unsuspecting co-eds to her luxurious mansion in the middle of nowhere, trapping the contestants in his own sick version of reality TV, where the challenges are bizarre, the danger is real and death is just a competition away. For more details about Cruel World on Blu-ray, see the Cruel World Blu-ray Review Starring: Edward Furlong, Jaime Pressly, Andrew Keegan, Susan Ward Director: Kelsey T. Howard Cruel World Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Observe Cruel World on Blu-ray with a passable 1080p, MPEG-2 encoded, 1.78:1-framed transfer. This one is about on par with a decent high definition broadcast signal. It doesn't inspire much confidence from the get-go, with its drab imagery over the opening sequence, including blurred credits. The image sharpens up somewhat thereafter and offers generally nice color reproduction and average levels of detail. The disc sees some minor blocking issues in a few scenes, but never serves as much of a distraction to the overall presentation. Noise is present and spikes here and there. The strength of the transfer is in the stable and bright colors. Whether poolside during the day or inside the house at night, colors remain strong and vibrant in most every scene. Nevertheless, this transfer is nothing to become excited about. It makes for passable high definition visuals, but it cannot compete with even the most average Blu-ray material. Cruel World Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Cruel World comes to Blu-ray with a pair of two-channel soundtracks, one a lossy Dolby Digital mix and the other a lossless PCM offering. The 2-channel PCM presentation is rather bass-y during the opening credits sequence. It's not all that tight or well defined, but it thumps the chest. Dialogue is sometimes sloppy, muddled, and sounds detached from the rest of the show. The poor dialogue reproduction doesn't mar the entire soundtrack, but it's plainly noticeable at times, particularly near the beginning of the movie. Ambience, on the other hand, is decent. Birds chirping in the background in one scene are heard across the front of the soundstage to decent effect. The back channels earn some vacation time over the runtime of the film. Cruel World features a soundtrack that gets the job done but nothing more.
