I really liked the first movie and was curious how they would pull of a second. It works in the concept laid out. At first you think one thing then it changes in fun. Even in the special features they did not think there could be a sequel but It worked well enough for me. If you liked the first one then you will enjoy the second one.

If you are reading this than you know the film and how bad it is. It's fun but dumb. The 4k looks good and the sound is as well. It's not a movie a recommend as it's somewhat boring and silly. Two stars for movie four stars for 4K picture

Just know this is a remake of an EU film. I was expecting another TAKEN film but in the snow. It isn't. It's a revenge film which has a unique body count "Count" I don't want to ruin anything so if you want a light hearted revenge film this is it.

I was looking forward to seeing this movie. I watched it with my daughter. She fell asleep, get the idea of how good it was? I got through it but it played out like THE OMEN (a better film). Unless you are a hard core horror fan I'd pass on this as a purchase, Sorry BB

The first time I watched this movie was the blue ray release. I fell asleep. With the new release of the second feature I decided to double dip and purchase this one in 4K. I figured better picture quality it will dazzle and I will see what I missed. No luck still fell asleep (for real again). I don't get it - the second one put me asleep as well. At least I could stay awake for Harry Potter.

This movie has been around, so to talk about it's content is not really important.
This release is all about the new remake. There is promo material on the disc, which could have been used for more promo material on the original film. It would have been nice if they had put on the documentary "Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary".
A corporate troubleshooter (Kate Mara) is sent to a remote, top-secret location, where she is to investigate and evaluate a terrifying accident. She learns the event was triggered by a seemingly innocent Inchhuman,Inch who presents a mystery of both infinite promise and incalculable danger.

I saw this on blu as a blind buy. I knew it should be good produced by Ridley Scott. I enjoyed the movie on blu so I upgraded to 4K and it looks really good. I have recommended this movie to several people.

I love this movie. If you've never seen it, it's worth checking out. I picked up the 4K without it being on sale. My daughter and I watched it for the third time together. Hugh Jackman is really good long before many found him in X-MEN. Sit down, and say Abracadabra to a good movie.

Not Normal Klipsch Quality
ByCraigBfromTexas
Pros Receiver mounts cleanly on support subs with special hangers Allows you to place subwoofer where you want Sender and receiver are factory paired
Cons Proprietary connection for receiver unit limits use RCA Cable on sender feels cheap and doesn’t hold well When connected subwoofer emits random rumbling sounds When connected subwoofer doesn’t seem to enter standby Seems to reduce overall bass output
Although many people think you can place a subwoofer anywhere in room, audiophiles know better. Proper subwoofer placement, particularly for a single sub setup, is critical for maximizing the quality of sound emitted. When placed poorly you will have dead spots in the bass in the room and possibly even distortion. That is where the Klipsch WA-2 comes in.
The Klipsch WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit allows you to connect your supported Klipsch subwoofer to your receiver/amplifier wirelessly with little fuss while placing it exactly where you need. The concept sounds perfect, but unfortunately the execution leaves a little to be desired.
The kit is very easy to install. The receiver has one proprietary plug that connects to a support Klipsch subwoofer and the unit hands off two posts available on the back of the sub. The sender is more universal with a standard power adapter and L/R RCA cable. The sender and receiver come paired from the factory but also offer sync button as well as sync status light. The first bit of confusion is when connecting the sender to a receiver. The instructions say if you have receiver has an L/FE or single output then you connect that line with a single plug, on the supplied cable, to the L/FE plug on the receiver. The problem is the sender has no L/FE plug. It only has a left and right. The only way to determine the correct connection is to either guess or look carefully at where the diagram indicates you plug it in. Although not critical and relatively easy to figure out it is odd for Klipsch to make such an error.
What is more important is performance. To start, the included RCA cable is extremely cheap feeling. It holds onto the port with 4 very weak wings normally found on budget RCA cables. This causes the cable to never really have a firm connection introducing noise at random. If you connect it to the receiver and push the unit back into a cabinet, you can easily dislodge it just enough to introduce a low buzz. To make matters worse, something about the connection either in the wireless signal or the cheap cable causes the subwoofer to randomly thump and rumble randomly. The level is very low making you think it might be coming from outside or somewhere else. Upon closer inspection you will find it is in fact coming from the subwoofer. Using a good quality direct connection product produces no such thumps and rumbles. Another downside is it seems to reduce the overall bass of the subwoofer. With a hardwired setup connected to a Klipsch R-115S a setting of -6.5db is optimal and produces clean, noise free bass. With the WA-2 kit, the same subwoofer needs to be set to 0.0db an still seems to not have the same pressure in low frequency scenes.
While the idea of the WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit is a good one the implementation needs some refinement. For now, you are better of sticking with a hardwired setup or a different wireless kit. If you must use the WA-2, then at the very least a change of the RCA cable is recommended. Hopefully future generations of the product will fix the shortfalls as good wireless sub kits are hard to find.

Random thump annoying
September 17, 2019
I too purchased this wireless kit and threw away the cheap RCA cables. After several weeks of ownership I kept hearing this thump (what I thought was outside). After a week of this I realized it was the subwoofer thumping as if it was being switched on and off. I just needed to second the comments this owner submitted.
