Kino-Lorber's Blu-ray of 'Dogtooth' offers a faithful 1080p/AVC transfer, effectively preserving the film's artistic, muted palette and sun-lit cinematography. Though minor print damage and slight grain are present, the rich 35mm grain structure and deep black levels deliver a visually engaging experience.

Audio: 62

The Greek DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track of 'Dogtooth' is sparse but effective, with clear dialogue, subtle surround use, and impressive sound design that complements the film's minimalistic style, featuring natural ambient sounds and occasional incidental music, achieving a delicate balance and dynamic range.

Extra: 26

The Extras for 'Dogtooth' Blu Ray are admirably composed, featuring an insightful 1080p interview with director Yorgos Lanthimos on the film's sci-fi inspired themes and actor collaboration, albeit brief. Deleted scenes in rough 1080i quality, highlight additional humor. Trailers and a 16-image gallery complete the package.

Movie: 81

Dogtooth is a darkly funny, disturbing satire that explores extreme parental control in an isolated family compound, using precise, deliberate compositions and stark, brutal imagery to create an unsettling yet oddly humorous exploration of adolescence, protectionism, and perverted innocence.
