ADDITION: Kino Lorber - Region 'A' - Blu-ray May 15': Firstly, this is one of those films I can continually re-visit. Very twisty thriller with great characters and performances. It has some noir buried beneath the narrative. Kidman is an evil femme fatale and Pullman the sap who is devoted, but awakens. This is one of Alec Baldwin's best roles, IMO. The Blu-ray is nothing surprising - it improves upon the SD's darkness and removes the lesser format's modest noise. Colors, especially the cooler flesh tones, improve to normalcy. Like the DVD it is bare-bones (only trailers on both) and the 1080P image improves in more layered contrast and a higher level of detail. It looks quite impressive in-motion. The disc is only single-layered (as is the SD) but a decent bitrate approaching 5X that of the 2000 MGM, flipper (Pan and scan on opposite side), DVD.

Kino Lorber improve upon the old standard Dolby audio with a DTS-HD Master 2.0 channel at 1682 kbps. The effects gain prominence especially the score by the great Jerry Goldsmith (The Burbs, Seconds, Hoosiers, The Blue Max, Breakheart Pass) does another sneaky score and it sounds pristine in lossless. There is some perceived buoyancy but the music drifts from a serene sense in the idyllic college community to intense suspense depending on the scene mood. There are optional English subtitles on the region 'A'-locked Blu-ray disc.

Malice is just one of those films That I can't stop watching once I start. Baldwin does an amazing job as the egomaniac doctor, Kidman is diabolical but often looks drop-dead gorgeous and there is plenty of strong support with steady Pullman and wonderful bit parts by George C. Scott and, my favorite, Anne Bancroft. Personally, I know I will revisit this film, many times, in the future and the Blu-ray is a wide step beyond the SD in terms of a/v. Certainly recommended!
