Video

Scream/Shout debuts a gorgeous new master for this sequel, the resolution bump over the Blu-ray notable. Texture is a constant, defined precisely whether at distance or in close. Facial detail looks spectacular. Sharpness rarely wavers behind an easily resolved grain structure.

Child's Play 2 is far more colorful than its predecessor, saturation substantially increased with spot on flesh tones and vivid primaries. Dolby Vision doesn't hold back in revving up the variety.

Generous black levels do their job. Elegant shadows hit their mark dead on, pure black frequently and consistently. A light bump to the highlights add some spark to light sources, whether a neon sign or car headlights.

Audio

While the Atmos mix exaggerates the surrounds (and an included DTS-HD stereo track is more natural), the refreshed audio does work well. A thunderstorm spreads rain around, through the heights and rears. That's natural ambiance. Action doesn't hold back as much, filling each channel with limited separation. Bass isn't much to speak of at all.

Overall fidelity wanes a little, but sounds pleasing considering the age.
