Video

Budget restrained digital video works well enough for Frost. Clarity doesn't hit many hiccups, although the disc causes some noticeable banding and artifacts, especially in backgrounds. That's a shame as this heavily degrades otherwise crisp imagery. Stable resolution keeps detail consistent and impressive. Facial texture is sustained in close and in medium shots.

Grading washes away the color. Flesh tones display slight warmth early, yet faded. As tension grows, so too does the amount of blue in the image. All primaries disappear for the dramatic tone's sake.

With the color, black levels disintegrate too, keeping Frost visually flat. Depth doesn't happen, ever. It's dull, and attempts to embolden the contrast don't offer any help.

Audio

Dolby Digital is still a thing on Blu-ray thanks to releases like this. Both the 5.1 and stereo options come compressed. The surround option offers limited separation, staying primarily confined to the center channel. Given that, stereo is preferred for tighter, bolder dialog quality. Either way, recording quality is merely average, and the disc doesn't change that.
