4K VIDEO \u2013 4\u00bd\/5, BLU-RAY VIDEO \u2013 4\u00bd\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Warner Bros. releases The Exorcist: Believer<\/em><\/strong> onto 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray where it\u2019s presented with a 2160p and 1080p high-definition respectively. This is a very darkly lit movie so you\u2019re not going to get brilliant colors, however this still looked alright but I wasn\u2019t wildly impressed as detail as it could\u2019ve been a bit sharper in spots. That being said, black levels were stark and there were no signs of artifacting or aliasing. In brief comparison, the 4K does look a bit better but not significantly.<\/p>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4\u00be\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Both formats come with a Dolby Atmos track which was very strong that really comes to life during and when the possession scenes get ramped up, along with dialogue levels being clean coming from the center channel.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
