Very Bad Things' Blu-ray release, framed in 1.85:1 and AVC encoded, disappoints with its aged master, resulting in smeared details, noisy grain, murky blacks, and flat colors; however, it avoids major artifacting and maintains moderate background detail.

Audio: 71

The 5.1 DTS-HD MA track delivers precise dialogue, an effective score, and noticeable surround presence that enhances tense atmospherics and impactful sound effects, although some soundtrack selections lack authority.

Extra: 71

The Blu-ray extras of 'Very Bad Things' include engaging new interviews with Jeremy Piven and Daniel Stern, who dive into personal anecdotes and the film’s chaotic production, along with a detailed commentary by podcasters Witney Seibold and William Bibbiani, a theatrical trailer, and a still gallery.

Movie: 36

Peter Berg’s 'Very Bad Things' aims for dark comedy but falls short with a laugh-free descent into macabre and chaotic incidents, despite solid performances from a stellar cast, particularly Christian Slater; the film's relentless grim tone and frenetic pace lead to its overall demise.
