Worst releases of 2022?

[whiteberry]

Goodness gracious. What a mess! Mill Creek brings Side Out to Blu-ray with a horrible 1080p transfer that challenges atrocious releases like The Freshman and Like Father Like Son for the title of "worst of the worst." Compression artifacts are presented in extreme density, defining the whole experience. Every element is little more than murky and chunky assault of compressed nastiness where every element -- faces, clothes, building, the beach -- are reduced to globs of digital morass. And when they are not, the wayward grain appears in full force with unnaturally sloppy, messy, and grossly processed output. This is a hideous image, and these complaints do not even touch on edge enhancement, poor detail and a general sense of softness, and terribly flat colors. Even the bright 90s tones which should leap off the screen are subdued and depressed, failing to offer more than cursory vitality and certainly no depth, nuance, or realism. Add in a fairly steady barrage of pops and speckles, and the image is practically unbearable beginning to end.
