Wild Things Blu-ray
Unrated Edition Sony Pictures | 1998 | 115 mins | Unrated | Jul 17, 2007
Wild Things(1998)Crime | Drama | Thriller     The scheme is far from tame. But whose scheme is it? Assume nothing as you venture beyond Blue Bay's elite beach communities and into the murky waters of the Everglades for a mystery of deceit, sex and greed as unpredictable as a hungry gator. And please, keep your hands inside the boat at all times. Kevin Bacon, Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, Denise Richards and Bill Murray star in a swamp-steamy thriller about two high school students, the guidance counselor they accuse of rape and the detective who knows there's more to the story.

Deeply saturated colors, extreme fine detail and rock-solid black levels are oftentimes not found here. Instead, this is a dirty, gritty and grainy film that is full of shadows. Much of the film is shot in purposefully dim lighting and shadow details and contrast can often suffer. None of this is any fault of the transfer, as it does a remarkable job of very accurately portraying the essence of the visual look of Wild Things. The one exception I do have to take with this presentation is in the quality of the master that was chosen. There are numerous scenes with visible dirt on the print as well as a few scratches and other defects. Perhaps this was the best print available for the transfer, but a little more time could have been spent in cleaning it up. All in all, this is another solid catalog release from Sony. Wild Things Blu-ray, Audio Quality On the audio side of things, Wild Things isn’t much of a show stopper. The musical score from George S. Clinton is nicely presented with its heavy reliance on nicely panned percussion with the occasional fill in the rear channels and a nice, tight abundance of bass. This adds a quirky element to the film that definitely helps complete the seedy atmosphere of the story. Besides that, there isn’t much to add any excitement to this dialog heavy film. The uncompressed PCM track does do an outstanding job of crisply presenting the dialog from the film, and the few scenes featuring any surround activity are nicely enveloping. Take for instance the scenes where Sam jets around the everglades in his swamp boat - the music is usually cranked to top volume and we are treated to an excellent usage of the surround channels as his watercraft plows through the swampy marshes. Once again, I think the advantages of uncompressed audio are clear, even on a track that wouldn’t necessarily be considered as a prime candidate for PCM treatment. I’ll never complain about clearer dialog, richer music and an overall much more robust experience. Wild Things Blu-ray, Forum Discussions
