The Pact

This ghost story with a difference proves rather lacking in scares

Expanded from a short film (also included on this Blu-ray), The Pact delivers a wonderfully spooky opening act before quickly descending into a more mundane plot that wouldn't have looked out of place in an episode of The X Files. The Blu-ray itself scores highly for its impressively sharp and detailed AVC 1.85:1 1080p visuals, but the DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix is so low-key that it proves no more expansive than the LPCM 2.0 track also included on the disc. As well as the original short mentioned above, the disc also includes three short featurettes about the cast, director and location.
