The Dark Water Blu-ray is encoded in High Definition 1080p format using MPEG2 compression on a single-layer 25 gb disc. The movie is presented in its theatrical aspect ratio of approximately 35:1 dorian gray ending letterbox bars at the top and bottom of the 16:9 frame. The movie dorian gray ending a stark photographic style that emphasizes contrasty images, drab colors, and quite a lot of film grain. The daughters deep red coat is just about the only color that makes an impression, likely deliberately so. Shadow detail is disappointingly murky for such a dark movie. Edge enhancement artifacts are also visible throughout. The grain usually retains a reasonable film-like texture, though the effects of electronic sharpening render it quite noisy in spots. For example, theres a shot at approximately 25:50 thats relatively clean except for a computer monitor in the background that jumps with video noise. Real film grain wouldnt behave like that. The picture in general has only a fair sense of detail and many scenes look overly filtered. That said, despite these dorian gray ending I was surprised to find that my impression at the end was of a decent film-like appearance. The heavy grain actually seems to clear up as the movie progresses, and colors turn warmer as well. This is neither the best nor the worst-looking movie available on Blu-ray to date. Id probably think a lot higher of it if not for the edge enhancement problems.

This is a very fine sound mix with pleasing fidelity. Dialogue is always clear and sound effects are crisply recorded. The surround channels are frequently active with water noises and other spooky effects filling the soundstage. The sound designers avoid too many cheap stinger scares, focusing instead on creating a subtly enveloping aural environment. The soundtrack is creepy and effective rather than bombastic, and sounds great on this Blu-ray disc. Optional subtitles English, English captions for the hearing impaired, French, or Spanish. Alternate language tracks French or Spanish DD The disc automatically opens with a lengthy Blu-ray promo and an anti-piracy ad that can fortunately be skipped but are a nuisance.
