Your Opinions and Comments
The video transfer is very good. Both the widescreen and fullscreen transfers reveal no compression signs. The indoor scenes are beautifully shot with the ripples from the pool reflecting on the walls of the Glass` house. Truly beautiful.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. The surrounds are used occasionally to enhance the atmosphere but they are never over-used. The musical score is hauntingly good.
The menus are still with music.
The extras include a commentary, a deleted scene and some interviews.
Bottom line - a very good and enjoyable thriller with good performances by Skarsgard and Sobieski (who looks just like Helen Hunt back in her youths).
