The 2024 4K UHD Blu-ray release of "Phantoms" by Shout Factory boasts a new 4K scan from the original camera negative, approved by Joe Chappelle, with Dolby Vision enhancing the contrast and black levels. The transfer retains the film grain, delivering impressive detail and natural color grading, though some CGI doesn't hold up under high resolution.

Audio: 85

The 5.1 DTS-HD MA mix in 'Phantoms' delivers a dynamic and immersive auditory experience with clear dialogue, effective use of surrounds for suspense and jump scares, powerful low-end during action, and rich atmospherics, though some may find it lacks subtlety in quieter moments.

Extra: 51

The extras for the 4K UHD Blu-ray of 'Phantoms' feature engaging and technically rich interviews with producer Joel Soisson and DoP Richard Clabaugh, revealing behind-the-scenes challenges and creative decisions. While comprehensive, additional commentary or cast involvement would have enhanced the package further.

Movie: 47

While Dean Koontz's *Phantoms* stumbles with miscast actors and incoherent storytelling, the 4K UHD release captures the film's grotesque visuals and atmospheric tension. Despite its flaws, Liev Schreiber and Peter O’Toole deliver standout performances that slightly elevate this flawed adaptation of a chilling novel.
