For more details about Heathers on Blu-ray, see the Heathers Blu-ray Review Starring: Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk, Kim Walker Director: Michael Lehmann Heathers Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Heathers enters the hallowed halls of Blu-ray with a generally pleasing 1080p, 1.85:1-framed transfer. Certain segments of the image look hazy and washed out, although the movie has never looked particularly sharp and clear. Nevertheless, the disc manages to offer a level of detail and color reproduction not seen on the previous DVD release, particularly the "THX" 2001 DVD release. There are some major differences between these releases, the most obvious being the drastic reduction in grain and print speckles. The upconverted DVD image appeared plenty worn, with rather heavy amounts of grain visible in most every shot. Colors also appeared worn down, and the image lacked much in the way of fine detail. The Blu-ray offers a much smoother, far less grainy image, but detail doesn't necessarily suffer. An outdoor croquet game as seen in chapter three, for example, reveals far more in the way of depth and fine detail in the lawn and shrubs. Color reproduction of both the greenery and the bright clothing is stronger in the sequence, too. Flesh tones also appear warmer on the Blu-ray; the DVD exhibited pale, almost ghastly-in-appearance characters. Black levels are fairly stable throughout this release. The Blu-ray release is a marked improvement in practically every area, and fans will likely be pleased with the results. Heathers Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Heathers enrolls on Blu-ray with a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Please note that the although a DTS logo appears on the disc's artwork, there is no DTS track, or any track other than the TrueHD track, available on this disc. This multi-channel lossless mix is rather front heavy. Chapter 12 offers the first moderately impressive audio experience of the film; the song Teenage Suicide Don't Do It is blasted through a sound system that plays with some vigor and presence, and a gunshot heard shortly thereafter packs a noticeable punch that slightly reverberates through the chest. A few student-body cheers at a pep rally in the school gymnasium in chapter 19 offer up decent quality that makes for a nice, semi-realistic moment, one of the best the track has to offer. Dialogue reproduction is the disc's strong suit, never missing a beat and always coming across loudly and clearly enough. While Heathers is not the sort of material that sells multi-thousand dollar home theater systems, fans will appreciate the slightly more clear and robust lossless offering and the subtle improvements offered over the previous DVD soundtracks.
