Massive improvement on the colours, always thought the reds were oversaturated on the normal Blu ray. One of the best horror movies of all time now looking near perfect.
I didn't actually think there would be much of a difference as I own the mastered in 4k Arrow blu ray but actually wow, I am glad that they didn't run with the overall pallette pushing towards steely blue and went for the more warmer look, unlike that original blu ray that came out which was good for the time but I prefer the look of the Arrow version, I have the 4K limited edition on pre order, thank you for the vid, great job!
Just watched on my LG C8. What an impressive transfer, especially considering that this movie is almost 40 years old. But didn't watch the blu-ray so don't have any comparison. This is how older titles should look. Full of detail with an analog filmic look. Natural colors and contrast.
I actually think some of the effects are messed up tbh. It is a situation where a remaster can be too good for its own good. For example, pay super close attention to blood-it looks a tad fake and too new (as in very bright red and liquid pool like as opposed to dark bold red, old and crusty) in some areas.
Thanks for the comparison shots. Looks to be a nice uptick in fine detail, and the color grade is probably more true to the original. I can't wait to have this UHD BD in hand!
Best thing (not meant to be a pun) Carpenter ever did by miles, in my opinion. In fact this film works great if you put it in black and white, combined with 4k I bet that gives a great spooky vibe.
It's always a mixed bag I think. In some (or most) instances the clarity of the people are nice and sharpened, and skin tones are not so pink and the "noise" is removed, but in other instances the red almost sems too red. The saucer crater scene almost looks too washed out. I appreciate the comparisons.
One question does the Blu-ray coming with the 4K set feature a NEW transfer based on the 4K transfer or is it the same transfer that Arrow did ("4K mastered" from 2017)?
Well Arrow like Shout are independent and therefore, you will have a remastered version with this new edition but which will not be of the quality you see on my comparison in 4K version. Cheers !!!
Press release details show that the US BD is the exact same Universal disc that was released before because it only features the PiP feature (which was corrected on the international release) but since the disc isn't actually out yet, we have yet to know (which make me wonder where the source of this comparison video has come from?)
Well dear Robert It's very simple, it's my distributor who provided it to me in advance; it comes indeed from the universal edition. Ask me next time 😉 !
Allegedly, Universal is throwing in the old BD they originally released, which was plagued with DNR and a relatively lower bit rate, as it was transferred to HD-DVD back in the day as well.
The weird thing is my steelbook edition from 2018 is in 4k. My HDR turns on when i watch it. Im not sure how much better this is going to look but then the steelbook only has the dts hd 5.1 this one is getting the atmos track. I feel that is going to be worth the upgrade
It does look better, but an extra cost of 20 odd pounds better, no not really. If they lowered the price of these 4k blu rays then I’d be more inclined to buy them. As it is the majority of the time I’ll get the blu ray, from a 4k scan, but the movie company’s are outrageously greedy, which is why dvd holds 60odd percent of physical media sales. I myself don’t buy dvd’s no more, but upgrading to 4k when I already have a decent copy on blu ray is just madness. Until it comes down in price 4k won’t be getting much of my money. There will the odd one I’ll buy occasionally but that’s it.
@@Mymoonization I don't watch anything in zoom, if the picture is clear I'm good and sometimes the blu ray looks better or about the same not worth the extra price to rebuy..BUT will buy if there's an audio upgrade and in this case there is
@@Mymoonization Oh, sorry, I guess I should say that I'm sure there is some upgrading for sure, but I just cant really tell the difference much anymore, usually what stands out to me is when they re do with too much blue and then the colors look off.
@@williamcurry4606 Dear William, on what medium you watch this comparison because it would have to be seen on a TV calibrated by a professional and the HDR mode activated ?!
Hello Well, it all depends on your tablet. If it's recent, then it should detect HDR automatically. However, to better appreciate a 4K image it's better to go directly through a 4K HDR TV because that is how you can appreciate the resolution of the film.
My Scream Factory disc looks as good as, or better in some shots, than the 4K here. And my disc doesn't look as soft or pinkish as the 2017 disc shown here. I'll be saving my money on this one.

Was the 4K approved by dean cundey? If not, then, no thanks
Absolutely and you forgot to mention the director himself 😉
Mgnificent transfer and the HDR gives all its interest to this masterpiece. Thank you so much👌
I’m so glad I’ve got mine pre-ordered the 4K quality is exceptional.
Really good use of HDR in this, and the extra detail is a plus!

I've been meaning to say how much I've been joying the zoom ins on the details, so I will. Thank you!
Dammmmm I was hoping this wouldnt be this good....Have to buy this film for the 3rd time now........
Holy moly that is glorious. And it's going to be quite an upgrade for me since all I have is the initial Scream! Factory release.
The new version looks phantastic!
I've only owned the Scream Factory blu a couple years, but I'm really feeling like I gotta upgrade! Thanks for the comparison video!
Oh my gawd they shined this up good
One of my favourite films...looks like the 4k disc is going to be great.
Contrast! Can't wait to watch this on OLED.
i'm so happy that 4k looks like a proper improvement over the standard bluray ,stealbook comin soon.
Cool. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait until September.
🎥
Looks fantastic. Thanks for the comparison shots. Like I needed a reason to justify the 3 different limited editions being released lol 😆
Good idea to zoom in. I’m excited for this. Can clearly see the improvements
Once again the 4k is Better than than the original
The clarity is such a big improvement. I wasn't going to buy this but I'm reconsidering. This is nice.
Looks great, will definitely pick it up and glad I didn't pick up the previous blu-ray! Oh and I like the addition of the 'zoom in's' Moon - good job!
Je l'ai préco sur la Fnac, le fossé avec la vieille édition Universal doit être encore plus grand.
it looks fantastic in 4K
A must buy on 4k br😊👍
Thanks for the comparison shots. Looks to be a nice uptick in fine detail, and the color grade is probably more true to the original. I can't wait to have this UHD BD in hand!
Seems like a tighter, more natural color scheme....kind of glad I constantly postponed buying it over the years

Great vid 💞👍🙏 can't wait to get this hope they do the prequel to ??!!

I got the digital copy and it looks absolutely gorgeous
See, what we got here is a perfect imitation of a previously released film…
Are you sure about that dear Gordon :) ?!
Nice. Now we'll see if it replicates successfully and reaches the mainland.

Not Atmos sound Alex but DTS X :) !

Looks about the same, but really upgrading because of the audio
And yet there is a real noticeable difference in Zoom mode dear Jerome :) !

Ok, I guess maybe I’m not getting it, but really not seeing much difference except it’s another version to have in your collection, 🤷♀️
And yet I can assure you that there is a noticeable difference, especially a level of the DTS X sound which makes all the difference.
