The repurposed Dolby Atmos/Dolby TrueHD 7.1-channel soundtrack sounds dynamic. Atmospherics are spot on and dimensional, Of course, sound effects can be intense with sharp transient attack bolstered with deep bass response that intensifies the impact of the hook killings. At times, bass extends deep to sub-25 Hz bass extension in the .1 LFE channel. Foley sound effects are active and precise throughout. The orchestral score is quite active and intense with clear instrumentation spread wide and deep across the soundstage and extending aggressively to the surrounds to completely envelop the soundstage. Dialogue, a combination of soundstage and ADR when on location, is intelligible throughout with generally good spatial integration..

The Immersive Sound element is comprised of an aggressive extension of the orchestral score to the height layer, as well as numerous sound effects and atmospherics and some partial dialogue. This is a very effective height layer that intensifies the mayhem and murder sequences and provides directionality.

This is a horrific slasher killer holosonic® spherical surround soundtrack with excellent fidelity and dynamics that will please fans of the horror genre. (Gary Reber)
