Review Date:

Black Rock's promising thriller premise is undercut by weak character development and plot, but its Blu-ray boasts excellent video and audio quality.

Video: 69

Black Rock's Blu-ray features an outstanding 1080p AVC/MPEG-4 transfer with commendable fine detail and vibrant, lifelike colors, especially in outdoor scenes. The cinematography excels in retaining texture and contrast, though nighttime scenes can suffer from murkiness and minor noise issues in dense foliage.

Audio: 69

Black Rock's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is consistently immersive, expertly balancing clean, precise dialogue with ambient environmental sounds that create a vivid outdoors atmosphere, and features excellent fidelity and dynamic range, particularly in action sequences.

Extra: 31

The Blu-ray extras for 'Black Rock' offer a comprehensive and engaging look into the film's production, featuring a lively commentary by Katie Aselton and Lake Bell, candid behind-the-scenes insights from the cast and crew, and a compelling featurette on Ben Lovett's unique score, all underscored by the indie film's condensed 18-day shoot.

Movie: 31

Black Rock attempts to blend a compelling exploration of female friendship and survival thriller elements, but falters due to underdeveloped characters and unconvincing plot twists, despite Katie Aselton's commendable direction and indie film credentials.
