The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack is dynamic sounding with intense sound effects that excite the sound field. Sound effects are powerful, aided with deep bass extension that extends to sub-25 Hz in the .1 LFE channel, which is nicely active and punchy. Sound effects include powerful thunder, crashes, creepy door slams and vehicle screeches, and more. Other prominent sound effects are monster sounds, screams, breaking glass, creaky sounds and bolting sounds. Foley sound effects enhance the realism. The orchestra score is haunting and dynamic with a powerful presence that extends to the surrounds. The surrounds are very active with direction. Soundstage imaging is precise. Dialogue is intelligible with satisfying integration. This is a scary holosonic® soundtrack that clouds the difference between fantasy and reality. (Gary Reber)
