Some (and sometimes heavy) black crush is endemic to the photography, but the HDR pass still shows its might. Intense highlights draw attention to themselves, vividly bright and glowing, renewing Family Plot visually. Pure black regularly appears, crushing or not, producing plentiful depth within the imagery.

Hearty grain doesn't resolve perfectly. Encoding can become smeary in places, while maintaining the superb 4K scan behind. Resolution brings out the definition, and with it, texture wherever possible. Softer cinematography reduces fidelity at the source yet this is still visibly 4K material. A spotless print keeps consistency.

Nicely elevated color draws out the primaries, particularly reds. Family Plot often drives varied hues into the frame, keeping the variety high. Deep color makes a decided difference over the Blu-ray, which now looks dull and faded.

Audio

Adequate DTS-HD mono captures the vintage dialog intact, age barely a presence. Each line comes through cleanly. There's little range to speak of, even as the score dips low enough to clip the subwoofer a tad. Both treble and bass avoid distortion.
