Mill Creek has released Director Steve Miner's (Friday the 13th Part II) 1996 film 'Big Bully' to Blu-ray. The film is currently only available as part of a two film bundle with 'Wrongfully Accused.'
There should be no bullying Big Bully for its Blu-ray release. Mill Creek's 1080p presentation is quite handsome, holding fast to a steady, rather fine grain structure that transmits the picture's filmic roots quite effectively. Details are clear and sharp, ranging from faces and clothes to location details inside the school and around David's and Roscoe's homes. It's pleasantly filmic in practically every scene. Colors are handled well, too. The palette is not exceedingly vibrant by any measure, but viewers will find pleasantly saturated clothes as well as location elements in the key sets. Expect to find the errant pop and speckle and other little signs of wear, not to mention a hint edge enhancement, but overall the image is in very good condition. Fans should be well pleased.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack offers a well-rounded listening experience. Musical engagement is wide with nicely detailed notes and a quality supportive depth, not to mention a pleasing surround integration. Atmospherics around school -- din in hallways, a fire alarm bell, various sounds inside a dance midway through the film -- prove satisfyingly filling and well positioned. Dialogue presentation never misses a beat.
No supplemental content is included.
Big Bully may not be the smartest movie ever made, but it's an agreeable little escape with a fun premise, good performances, and enough energy to keep the audience interested for 90 minutes. Mill Creek's featureless Blu-ray delivers a quality A/V experience. Recommended.
