Video Quality

Tiny Cinema makes its Blu-Ray debut with a great 1080p video presentation that showcases these varied locations well. The transfer shows off a substantial amount of depth as we explore this uncertain world. The makeup effects along with the fabrics of clothing provide clear textural details. The skin tones are natural with a tremendous amount of detail present in close-up shots. The image is clear with the color palette radiating off the screen to intentionally unnatural levels. This is a film that takes place largely in brightly lit locations, but it holds up pretty well when it comes to the darker environments. Black levels impress when it comes to object detail, but there are traces of banding in several moments. The film employs some dazzling colors within the world which are handled quite well. There are a few small areas where this disc could be improved, but overall this Blu-Ray provides a rock solid experience.

Audio Quality

Epic Pictures continues to give their Blu-Rays a Dolby Digital 5.1 lossy audio track instead of a DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track. We would always opt for a label to provide greater response with a lossless track, but what we get is strong in its own right. Environmental sounds of these stories flow through the surround speakers in exciting ways. There are some substantial ambient details when jumping from story to story. The music that accompanies this journey provides an off-kilter atmosphere that is balanced well with capable fidelity. There are a few thrilling moments along the journey which are supported by texture from the low end response. Dialogue comes through clearly without being overshadowed by any competing sounds. Even without a full lossless track, this audio experience delivers a pretty decent time. This disc provides English SDH and Spanish subtitles.

Special Features

Behind The Scenes: A nearly 18-minute behind-the-scenes piece which gives you ample amounts of fly-on-the-wall footage of the cast and creative team constructing various sequences.

Trailers: This disc provides a two-minute trailer for Tiny Cinema. There are also trailers provided for other Dread titles including Among The Living, Midnight, Bad Candy and Tin Can.

Final Thoughts

Tiny Cinema feels very much in line with what you might find from an Adult Swim compilation. The humor is not only filled with big creative swings, but the humor leans more towards the odd and surrealistic. The film scores points for having a guiding force through this anthology format, but, as with many works from this genre, there is an issue with consistency. Some of the sequences in this film are hilarious, while others feel underdeveloped or just plain unfunny. There might be an even split in the quality level, which is not exactly a ringing endorsement for those wondering if they should commit their time to watching this. Epic Pictures had released a Blu-Ray featuring a solid enough A/V presentation and a few decent special features. If you are a sucker for anthology films and weird humor, be sure to check this one out, but be aware this will not be for all tastes.

Tiny Cinema is currently available to purchase on Blu-Ray.
