Video Quality

Row 19 comes to Blu-Ray with a pretty great AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 2.39:1. This is a pretty contained film without much in the way of varied environments, but everything appears very natural from the few pops of nature we do get to see to the color in the costumes and production design. The color palette mostly remains natural without much in the way of distinct color grading. The picture is mostly clear with only brief instances of murkiness during a few darker moments. The film does deliver some softer shots during the dreamy sequences. Skin tones are natural throughout the ensemble. Where the transfer really shines is the impressive level of detail in even the most minute aspects. Everything from the smallest facial details to the texture of dried blood is precisely detailed here. The film is not too ambitious with its cinematography, but Well Go USA represents things well here.

Audio Quality

The Blu-Ray disc comes with a spirited DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio presentation in the original Russian that handles the thrills incredibly well. There is also an English dub provided in the same format that we would suggest staying away from for artistic reasons. Surround channels get some notable activity during the few nature scenes and during hallucinations and any lead up to a terrifying reveal. The movie offers a pretty intense workout with environmental sounds that yield a very immersive atmosphere for the story. The low end of the track is especially active during a handful of memorable moments with a bit of wall shaking happening. The dialogue and sound effects maintain their fidelity with the score where nothing gets lost in the track. This track is quite powerful, and will be appreciated by horror fans who pick up this disc. There are optional English subtitles provided.

Final Thoughts

Row 19 has a very satisfying payoff, but the journey to the destination is more uneven in terms of quality. The lead performance is very strong, and the ensemble seems capable enough, but the film simply does not offer enough thrills to get your blood pumping. A second viewing might help put some odd plot developments in greater perspective, but during the initial outing things feel very scattered. The saving grace of this film is the incredibly brief runtime, which at least makes you feel as if you have not wasted your time. Well Go USA Entertainment has delivered a typically solid A/V presentation but next to nothing in the way of special features.

Row 19 is currently available to purchase on Blu-Ray and DVD.
