REVIEW: Dark Shadows (2012) gets Amazon Exclusive 4k Ultra HD Release!
Amazon Exclusive 4k Ultra HD Release is Wortb Every Penny!
Another fine Tim Burton film comes to 4k UHD!
From the wonderfully warped imagination of Tim Burton comes the story of Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp), a dashing aristocrat who is turned into a vampire by a jilted lover and entombed for two centuries. Emerging from his coffin into the world of 1972, he returns to his once-majestic home, only to find the few dysfunctional descendants of the Collins family who remain. Determined to return his family name to its former glory, Barnabas is thwarted at every turn by his former lover - the seductive witch Angelique (Eva Green). Co-starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Helena Bonham Carter, Dark Shadows is "wildly imaginative" (Sam Hallenback, NBC-TV) and a blood-curdlingly good time!
The film is a new 4k transfer from the original elements from Shout! and Scream Factory.
the film is presented in Dolby Vision/HDR and the film shines even in the darkness with the blacks coming in nicely through this new grading
There’s also a Dolby Atmos track which is an awesome upgrade from the DTS mix. It brings Elfman’s score to life as expected and the horror/action sequences makes the Atmos mix even more EPIC and GRANULAR SOUNDING!
I’ve been a huge fan of this film for years - its visual and soundtrack haunts me to the core and Depp / Pfeiffer and its ensemble cast deliver incredible performances making for a fun and suspenseful Tum Burton film
At upgraded Atmos from DTX mix was the biggest surprise of joy - a well deserved Atmos mix on a film that is a true gothic horror blissfully made in the early 2010’s. ‘Twas a time of great storytelling and Dark Shadows is one of them!
Run with you fangs to get this Dark Shadows 4k from Amazon - make haste, you won’t regret it! The 4k steelbook is also a nice touch with custom artwork and new bonus features on the Blu-ray.
