Stuck

 (2007)

Horror | Thriller



Brandi is a compassionate young retirement-home caregiver in-line for a promotion. Tom is a victim of the downsized economy, out of work and newly homeless. Their worlds collide when Brandi, driving home from a club after too many drinks and pills, accidentally hits Tom, the impact smashing his body head-first through her car's windshield. If discovered, this accident will destroy Brandi's future, so instead of saving him, she plans to let him pass and dispose of the body later. Faced with this, Tom knows he must escape if he wants to survive.

Stuck Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


Stuck crashes into the Bluray format with a solid, if not unremarkable 1080p/AVC encode framed at a 1:78:1(1:85:1 theatrically) aspect ratio that is pretty visually consistent throughout the entire film. The source appears very clean, with no film related issues whatsoever. Detail and small detail is visually excellent, with natural colors that are not oversaturated, but have a slightly washed out look. This movie should be watched in a dark room, as it is very dark throughout most of the film. Black levels are inky and consistent; contrast is spot on, with just a few issues of slightly blown levels. There is a fair sense of depth into the background, and quite frankly I have not seen this much blood look so clean. Grain and noise are kept under control at all times. Shadow detail is quite good, and I only saw a few cases of edge enhancement, but quite frankly I searched for it, it did not jump out at me. This is nothing here visually that will impress, it just a solid transfer with few or no faults.

Stuck Blu-ray, Audio Quality

 


There are two audio flavors on Stuck, an English 5.1 Dts-HD Master Audio lossless track, and a lossy Dolby Digital encoded at a 640kbps data rate. Stuck is not big on surround usage, but there are a few scenes that use the sound field palette pretty effectively. The nightclub scene had very active surrounds with music, and walla in all of the channels along with dialog firmly in the center channel. Much like the video, there is nothing that will wow you in this soundtrack. It is all about the characters, the situation, and the interaction, so dialog is always clear and clean. This soundtrack has the potential for so much more, but too much would have taken away from the story and characters, which is undesirable. The audio much like the video is solid if not unremarkable.
