Jeffrey
Hunt's 2016 spooky horror film Satanic lands on disc with
Modern Family star Sarah Hyland in the lead. A victim of 'too
many pretty faces', the film has a few moments but ultimately suffers
from mediocre acting from the supporting cast, though Hyland does her
best. Decent cinematography, including sweeping aerial shots of Los
Angeles up the production value and put it a beat above other indies,
but ultimately it feels a little heavier than an episode of Are
You Afraid of the Dark? The film also stars Justin Chon, Steven
Krueger, Clara Mamet, Sophie Dalah, and Anthony Carrigan to name a
few.
Set
in modern day LA, a group of friends go to town for a weekend getaway
and end up summoning a satanic spirit after following a Cult Store
owner home. Once she kills herself in the name of the ritual, the
group of friends end up becoming infested one by one by the dark
spirits.
Presented
in 1080p high definition with a widescreen aspect ratio of 2.40:1,
the image looks pretty sharp on the film. Even darker scenes have
plenty of detail and those that take place during the sunny days in
California also have a lot of texture. The sound mix is satisfactory
as well with a DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 5.1 lossless track that backs
up the nice score and evens the dialogue throughout with no visible
flaws.
