Hell Ride Blu-ray
Weinstein Company | 2008 | 84 mins | Rated R | Oct 28, 2008
Hell Ride(2008)Action | Drama | Thriller     Pistolero, the leader of the biker gang The Victors, sets out to exact revenge on a rival gang known as the 666ers. But there's dissention amongst the ranks when his members begin to question his leadership. For more details about Hell Ride on Blu-ray, see the Hell Ride Blu-ray Review Starring: Larry Bishop, Michael Madsen, Eric Balfour, Dennis Hopper, Vinnie Jones Director: Larry Bishop Hell Ride Blu-ray, Video Quality  Larry Bishop must have had a ball burning through the Weinsteins' money making Hell Ride (and, yes, I mean those Weinsteins). Therefore we are greeted by just about every post-production trick in the book, from grainy black and white segments, to desaturated sepia tones, to the paisley swirls of a hallucination. Your reaction to this Blu-ray will probably depend entirely on whether you need everything in a film to pop with high definition splendor. There are certainly a lot of very crisp and colorful moments in Hell Ride's AVC encode, supporting a 1080p 2:40:1 transfer. If you don't mind the bells and whistles of Bishop's directorial choices with regard to the image, this Blu-ray presents a rather arresting array of different "looks," each of them good in their own way. The black and white image has been over-processed to the point where grain is almost noise-like, and contrast is (purposefully) not as marked as it would be in a "normal" black and white image. The other treated segments of the film offer interesting hues with varying sharpness and depth, but my hunch is they reproduce the original look of the film to a tee (yes, I know you probably find it hard to believe, but I did not take in Hell Ride in the theaters). Hell Ride Blu-ray, Audio Quality  You'd expect Hell Ride to be full of roaring engines and swooping directionality in its many road sequences, wouldn't you? Well, you're wrong--twice. There aren't very many road sequences in this picture, and what few there are have an actually startling lack of surround use in both the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mix and its somewhat less bombastic DD 5.1 sibling. The TrueHD mix, which streams at an average of around 3.5 Mbps, is perfectly clear, with good low end, especially in the thumping rock and rockabilly soundtrack that accompanies the bulk of the film, but it's surprisingly anemic for a film with this kind of aural heritage. I think even The Wild One may have provided more sonic thump for the dollar than Hell Ride does. For those of you wondering what all the fuss is about in lossless soundtracks, even though Hell Ride's lossless TrueHD is really nothing to write home about, compare it with its DD 5.1 lossy counterpart, and you'll immediately hear the difference--marked lack of low end in the Dolby Digital version, with an overall compressed sound.
