Review to the 4K UHD Blu-ray from Studio Canal of the 2001 haunted house spooker The Others starring Nicole Kidman and Christopher Ecclestone. A very good film that has a good atmosphere sure to give most people a bit of a scare or a jump or two.
Image aspect ratio is 1.85:1 and sound has been re-worked into Dolby Atmos. It is now more effective than ever. There is an option via the menu for DTS-HD 5.1 but I found that through my THX 5.1 the Dolby Atmos downcoded better than the DTS.
The Others is predominantly a dark, moody film and as a result of the low light there is film grain evident throughout but it is not overly coarse and does suit the overall rustic feel of the film.
'Film Is Fabulous!' is an all day film event at The Phoenix Cinema & Art Centre in Leicester on 29th October 2023 which will have panel discussions about film and television on film and how best to save and preserve these with a particular emphasis on those only existing in private collections, also film shows on the huge Screen 1 from both 35mm and Super 8 in between the panel discussions, two dealer rooms selling vast quantities of film and equipment, and finally, the great film history documentary 'Splice Here: A Projected Odyssey' which concludes the day on the big screen. This will be one of the few opportunities to see this impressive work at a cinema in the UK. All this for just £12.50. For full details and to purchase tickets go to www.filmisfabulous.org.uk.
