The grain can be gritty, even heavy, but it’s rendered fantastically, never looking like noise.
The presentation also looks incredibly film-like. Black levels still hold on strong, and while yes, the colours do look desaturated and come off very blue-ish, I still thought they managed to pop. The old high-def stream I sampled still had a similar look, but it’s far more intense on this Blu-ray, especially the contrast, leading the image to almost look blown out at times. As explained in the features found on the disc, the film, when developed, went through a bleach bypass process (or “skip-bleach”), which means the silver in the film stock is left intact (not bleached out) leading to deeper blacks, desaturated colours, and increased contrast. I'm not sure why this is the case, but I had never seen the film prior to this edition, so I cannot compare directly to the previous Lionsgate DVD and Blu-ray releases, though comparing it to a high-def stream of the film this one does end up looking a bit different, though I wouldn’t say all that significantly, it's just been enhanced. The film has been given an all-new 4K restoration, scanned from the original camera negative, and it’s delivered here with a 1080p/24hz high-definition encode.
