Halloween Blu-ray
Weinstein Company | 2007 | 121 mins | Unrated | Oct 21, 2008
Halloween(2007)Horror     A new take on the legend and a new chapter in the Michael Myers 'Halloween' saga. For more details about Halloween on Blu-ray, see the Halloween Blu-ray Review Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Sheri Moon Zombie, Tyler Mane, Scout Taylor-Compton, Brad Dourif Director: Rob Zombie Halloween Blu-ray, Video Quality  Halloween stalks Blu-ray fans through its 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. The picture quality is solid from beginning to end, but it never compares to the cream of the crop of high definition eye candy, an observation credited to the somewhat somber, dark look of the film, particularly during the second half. The movie offers some bright interior and exterior shots during the first half, but the second half, taking place at night and in many poorly lit interior locales, takes on a whole different look and feel. Take an exterior shot of Michael's school, setting the stage for a sequence as he gets into a fight in a bathroom. Plenty of depth and detail is visible, the bright, natural exterior makes the shot the first to truly stand out in the film. Previous shots in the Myers' home are somewhat dull and pasty in appearance, with ghastly flesh tones and only moderate detail. Blacks take on a more gray appearance in select scenes, but later, darker scenes in Haddonfield offer truer, deeper blacks. The sterile interiors of the sanitarium are bright and clean, where the is little in the way of backgrounds or objects to show off fine detail, though what is to be seen -- plain tiled or blue-painted walls, old, beaten chairs, or the occasional lunch tray with a pedestrian selection of bland foods -- look fine. Close-up shots of Michael, his mask, his clothing, and his flowing golden hair look marvelous. One of the finest segments of the film take place in an adult Michael's sanitarium cell, the walls covered in dozens, if not hundreds, of masks Michael has fashioned over the years. The resolution available on this disc shows each and every one off. They give the room a surreal, colorful, maybe even cheerful feeling, superficial as it may be as it only hides the true terror that resides in the room. Halloween offers well above average, though never striking, high definition material. Halloween Blu-ray, Audio Quality Presented with a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack, Halloween's audio quality is on par with the video -- well above average but never spectacular. Dialogue reproduction is fine, and much of the movie is dialogue-centric, particularly the mid-section of the film, depicting a young, institutionalized Michael Myers. The famous theme, heard for the first time when Michael runs from school and Loomis speaks of his possibly deranged mind to his mother, sounds as good as ever, flowing from the speakers with a foreboding presence. The music, instrumental and vocal, drifts into the rears but remains centered across the front. The soundtrack doesn't start to spread out until a few minor directional effects are heard in chapter four as Michael flings halloween candy throughout the kitchen. When Michael strikes in the sanitarium in chapter eight, the alarm klaxon rings loud and clear through the listening area, emanating mostly form the front but managing to do its job well, filling the listening area with the sound that signifies the death of the human being inside of Michael Myers. Bass finally comes to the surface in chapter 10, and the track picks up in intensity in the final 30 minutes of the film with a barrage of screams, sound effects, and the chilling Halloween theme playing more often. None of it offers a strong presence in the rear channels, despite the presence of several scenes featuring the potential for strong atmospheric presence, like the blowing of wind and the rustling of fall leaves littering the Haddonfield turf. All in all, Halloween offers listeners a strong, though not completely aggressive, soundtrack.
