Overall – 3.5/5

Comments: For this release Universal went with a VC-1 encode on to an HD30 disc. For the most part this transfer looks good. The film grain is kept in check and the image is sharp. In many of the brighter/outdoors scenes the image "pops" and is very vibrant. Skin-tones were spot-on and I saw no hint of noise or macroblocking. I did see a bit of over saturation in the colors, especially the reds.

As far as AQ goes, I listened using the Dolby Digital Plus option and it sounded good. The Center Channel presented the dialog in a clear and powerful manner and the Left and Right Channels received consistent action. There was however very little use of The Surrounds or the LFE.

There are some nice Special Features included with this release. Here is what you get:

HDi Real-Time Interactivity: Instantly access bonus features, navigate through chapters and modify settings, all without interruption to the movie experience.

My Scenes: Bookmark your favorite scenes and create your own movie clips to enjoy at any time, back-to-back or one-by-one.

Terrifying Deleted Scenes with Director's Commentary

Feature Commentary with Director Geoffrey Sax and Michael Keaton

Making Contact: E.V.P. Experts - Discover the stranger history and extraordinary achievements of E.V.P. through the experiences of leading authorities.

Recording The Afterlife At Home: A fascinating and chilling guide to making your own E.V.P recordings!

Hearing Is Believing: Actual E.V.P Sessions - Witness the live filming of chilling, real-life E.V.P. recording sessions!

In conclusion this is a nice presentation even though I felt the storyline was weak at best. So if you are a fan of this film I can recommend this purchase.
