Sony has released the 1998 Horror sequel film 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' to the UHD format. New specifications include 2160p/Dolby Vision video, Dolby Atmos audio, and a couple of new extras on the UHD disc. The film was originally released to Blu-ray in 2009 in a very lackluster presentation and package. This release remedies that longstanding problem. Note that Sony has also previously released the original film to UHD as well.
The included screenshots are sourced from a 1080p Blu-ray disc.
No doubt about it, Sony has improved on I Still Know What You Did Last Summer in a big way. The new 2160p/Dolby Vision video
presentation is worlds away better than the original Blu-ray experience, dating all the way back to 2009. A lot has changed since then, and this is,
finally, the film looking very good for home consumption. The picture is now handsomely grainy and filmic. Grain is consistent in depth and density,
perhaps spiking only a little in nighttime and low light shots and scenes. The image is nicely detailed as well, offering stable, accurate renderings of
skin, clothes, and environments. It's organically sharp, unlike the Blu-ray, with a real sense for filmic definition and capable of capturing the inherent
intricacies that the film format, and the UHD format, are well capable of providing. Texturally, it blows the Blu-ray away.
The Dolby Vision grading solidifies the color palette and amplifies the tonal vividness and exactness. Compared to the Blu-ray, there is no real
comparison. Black levels are much better, whites are much brighter, and skin tones are more balanced. Bold daytime exteriors and well-lit interiors
offer nicely defined color balance, with nothing appearing overly hot or cool or with contrast pushing one way or another. This is a good, healthy, stable
palette that adds much needed stability and vibrance without feeling artificially amplified in any way. This is Dolby Vision grading at work to bring out
the truest coloring possible, and it works great even in a fairly dark movie such as this. Add in the absence of any bothersome print flaws or encode
artifacts, and this is a very good looking UHD and a very fine upgrade over a very old Blu-ray.
The new Dolby Atmos track offer an excellent upgrade, too. The expanded channels certainly help to deliver a fuller, richer, more robust, more immersive, more everything audio experience. That includes clarity and immersion. A rave early in the film, for example, draws listeners in with healthy atmospheric din, balance to all elements, and even very well prioritized dialogue in the loud environment. Surround back and overhead channels work hard to fill in the gaps and create a very exciting environment. Action-Horror elements enjoy superior bass response and total stage saturation. Music is likewise big, immersive, and precise. While the overhead channels are not used to deliver frequent discrete effects, the sense of pull into the world and into the score is certainly evident. Dialogue is clear and centered for the duration. The track's depth, size, and spatial awareness are key upgrades that absolutely pull the listener into the film like never before.
Sony's UHD release of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer includes returning extras on the bundled Blu-ray disc and new extras on the
UHD disc. Below are a few words on the new extras as well as a listing of the returning Blu-ray supplements. please click here for thoughts on the returning
extras. A Movies Anywhere digital copy code is included with purchase. This release ships with a non-embossed slipcover.
UHD:
Fortunately, the Last Summer franchise decided to call it quits (for now) after three pictures, the third installment being the obligatory direct-to-video outing. I Still Know borders on being worthy of nothing but the direct-to-video bin, but the film's box office return that put it in the black proved otherwise. Nevertheless, I Still Know is a terrible film, one devoid of brains, originality, and, most disappointingly, scares. A tame and by-the-book slasher picture with only a hint of gore, a generic story, and dull characters, I Still Know marks one of the very worst of the Teen Slasher genre that actually enjoyed a theatrical run. Sony's new UHD upgrades the film's home video release in every way. The 2160p/Doby Vision video is a massive improvement over the original and now very dated Blu-ray. Ditto the Atmos track. Sony has even included two new extras on the UHD disc. The movie isn't that great, but fans are going to be delighted with this new issue.
