T his will be on October 5th that will be released in Blu-Ray (Zone A, Zone B readable) special edition of the masterpiece by William Friedkin. Newly restored from the original camera negative, presented in 1080p FullHD, The Exorcist will also logically (no confirmation yet) available in DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1. The previous DVD edition had left an acoustic landmark, with its completely reworked sound stage, very large, and, in theaters, had assured huge thrill, again audible on the track Dolby Digital 5.1 EX proposed by Warner ago some years. This remix wild, bright and aggressive, to spatialization Dante, can only benefit the full potential of uncompressed digital audio, and we can only commit ourselves, as hard as iron, for the rendering quality in technical and artistic. Memory, the rear center channel showed himself very well used and added a vertical extension directly on numerous sequences. As a whole, remixing, and so intense he was sharp, allowing a total rediscovery of the film, and when it was broadcast in theaters, audiences not accustomed to that sound sensory manipulation had left a few feathers .... Crystal clear, sharp and cisellé, the soundscape of the film enjoyed a monumental depth, and provided a total acoustic show, even on the more mundane sequences. This special edition future is to say the least expected of feet firm.
