Fear Blu-ray Review

Retro VHS Collection

Score: 44

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

Fear offers a nostalgic 90s thriller vibe but disappoints with poor video quality, fair audio, and no extras on Mill Creek's disc.

Disc Release Date

DTS-HD MA

Video: 54

The Blu-ray presentation of 'Fear' shows a 2.40:1 AVC HD transfer with decent color reproduction and some scenes of crystal clarity, though the overall image suffers due to smoothed textures and compression artifacts, rendering it a lackluster release compared to potential higher quality standards.

Audio: 64

Featuring a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack, the Blu-ray audio presentation is spacious and clear with well-balanced atmospheric elements, an upgrade over the previous Dolby Digital 5.1. While it captures the era's grungy music, dialogue clarity could be enhanced amidst less active surround channels.

Extra: 0

The Blu-ray of Fear is disappointingly featureless, with only basic play and subtitle options, lacking even the trailer that was present in Universal’s previous release, though it does include Mill Creek’s Retro VHS slipcover.

Movie: 26

The 1996 thriller "Fear," now released on Blu-ray, maintains its tension and charm with strong performances from Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon. Its DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track enhances the viewing experience, making it a memorable '90s film, despite a predictable plot. An essential for nostalgic thriller enthusiasts.
