I knew this was always going to be better than Dracula. Frankenstein always looked very good, while Dracula had major issues, especially in audio, which pulls me out of the movie. Very, very excited for this and The Bride of Frankenstein!
I'm hoping to get this set soon to watch with my Step-Dad.
Thanks, Jeff. As always, I appreciate you.
Love that you are reviewing all of the releases! Nice to get thoughts on each one instead of all together.
This is already a no brainer for me because im a massive original monsters movie fan so i will be picking this one up. Thanks for this review, I appreciate it!
We need a second volume: Creature, Bride, Mummy and Phantom.
Agreed!
You called it
Movies i'd like to see get a 4K physical release.
The Last Samurai
Enemy at the Gates
Bloodsport
Kickboxer
Kung Fu Panda trilogy
PFTTT....
Bloodsport doesnt even have a decent blu ray release so perhaps we will get that first then 4k
I have the blu ray set collections and im pretty happy with that
Me too! My jaw dropped watching those blurays.
I thought the same way, but I caved, and bought it. These 4k’s are nice. You definitely can see the difference.
@@keenanhaynes6805 You can?
Thanks for taking the time to publish your reviews. Excuse my request if you’ve already covered the topic, but please devote a future episode to cleaning and caring for physical media.
I’m working on something similar. More about potential issues with specifically 4K discs.
@@JeffRauseo I have had 4k as I put in player it would skip. I didn't think to wipe them so I used to take them back for a refund. Now I wipe all 4k but if it pixels at the same spot it is the 4k disc that is damaged.
Yes! Just the request I wanted to put forward.
Loving these Universal Monster movie reviews. Looking forward to the Invisible Man and Wolf Man.
Great, comprehensive review. Looking foreword to release of The mummy and bride of Frankenstein (my personal favourite in Universal Horror collection).
Great review Jeff. Answered my question about the comparison between the bluray discs versus the 4K.
Perhaps, you will be able to tell how quickly the filmmaking technology improved by watching the 4K release of Bride of Frankenstein. When is that coming out?
I respect your opinion and you have great taste but the blu-ray presentation is far more suited to my personal tastes. I came here to decide whether to pick these up in 4K and personally, I think I will stick with the BD. I have all the Universal Monster movies on BD and with the amount I watch them, I think I am fine. Keep up the great work. I enjoy watching your videos.
I wonder if the disc sleeves could have enough space to put the disc in a clear plastic sleeve first to help protect the dvds better?
I’m excited to buy these PLUS the Universal Sherlock Holmes Movies on Blu-ray featuring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.
This guy is a boss. Love the breakdowns and comparisons.thanks a bunch.
I have a complaint (not really) - your reviews are costing me too much money! :D I just bought this set after watching your Dracula review from this set, and you are right - these movies look absolutely beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to do these reviews, as they're great and they are appreciated.
There’s a lot more then just those for each of those monsters movies. I wonder if they’ll do a vol.2,3,etc..
They better! Bride of Frankenstein is the best regarded of the bunch.
@@jmchez I think its the best sequel of all time in my opinion!
@@jmchez uhhhh ok?
O.G. Frankenstein is way better than Bride IMO
Where is you review on The Wolfman and The Creature from the Black Lagoon?
My set arrived yesterday and I watched Dracula last night. Happy with the quality of the transfer. The packaging was somewhat disappointing sadly. In Ireland its just a very rudimentary package. Just a slip cover over a casing that is similar in size to a single disc set up. Couple of slots inside and each disc clipped in separately. No booklet , photo cards etc. The price was around 60 euro so similar to the US price. Listen, delighted to have the movies on 4k don't get me wrong but for the price better packaging should have been done. Bought the box set for economic reasons really. Made more sense and also I have the Alex Ross blu ray steelbooks as well which in my opinion look better then the new 4k ones. Frankenstein is on the timetable for tonight. Great review as usual 👏 Jeff!,
Really? I expected the UK/Irish release to be using the same kind of packaging as the UK/Irish release of the Alfred Hitchcock Collection from last year. If they're just in a regular case with slipcover I completely understand the disappointment.
@@ijslandernl I was disappointed but having thought about it I think this set may be to ' test the water' and if they sell well then better quality set and more films 🎥 to be released at a later stage. The Hitchcock set is terrific ! I have it
@@thedarkknightish Yes, I've got that set as well and that's exactly the reason I expected this Classic Monsters Collection to use the same packaging.
In the US both the Alfred Hitchcock Collection and the Classic Monsters Collection have this packaging that's like a book where the discs slide into the pages. The UK/Irish release of the Alfred Hitchcock Collection has this packaging that folds out and all four sections have this transparent plastic which holds the discs. Of course, I expected this same packaging to be used for the UK/Irish release of the Classic Monsters Collection.
Yep, I commented on Jeff's Dracula review saying this too, was quite disappointed. That said, if the discs are potentially going to be damaged by the US sleeve type packaging maybe we're better off with the standard box! I haven't opened mine as I was considering returning and reordering for the US but it's out of stock on the US amazon.
@@ijslandernl Amazon I must say were very helpful and courteous. I contacted them about my disappointment and they offered a full return. I said I'd rather keep it so they gave me a 35% refund which was very fair I thought
Wish they would have included Bride of Frankenstein & Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Best Buy doesn't seem to have The Invisible Man steelbook available. You have to get it from a different source.
Do you know why they are not selling the Invisible Man as a single film in 4k? I see copies for Dracula, Frankenstein, and the wolf man.
They are but it’s a zavvi exclusive
Anyone else notice @ 5:25 how the image doesn't skip but the characters are removed and reinserted for a split sec?
Are you going to review the other 2 films?
Very cool... awesome review man 😎
Nice video, love the movie, frankenstein!
Hey Jeff, I was wondering if Frankenstein has its restored audio. I’ve seen comparisons from other releases including: Laserdisc, VHS, DVD and Blu-ray shows that the LD and VHS have the original audio and the DVD and Blu-ray have audio missing.
Are you talking with the added lines? The “God” line specifically? It’s the opposite. VHS/LD don’t have that line. Blu/4K do have it.
Great review.
How do you clean your discs? I've had a few skip on me too.
I use a clean t-shirt and wipe in to out all the way around.
Are you so stupid that you have to ask that question?
@@lanelesh8490 You know when people clean things they use WINDEX or soap so not a stupid question.
Clean microfiber towel and a cleaner with good lubricity. I personally use a waterless or rinse less wash product. I got plenty of experience using such product to clean sensitive screens inside vehicles etc and it's what I use to clean discs and my TV screen. Make sure the towel is soft with a GSM of 350 or higher.
You say you can buy all four of them individually in steelbook format and yet The Invisible Man does not yet have availability in the US in steelbook. For some reason it was not released alongside the other three. I’ve been wanting to know why. There is a steelbook available in Germany.
Oh really? That’s odd. I see it at Zavvi as well - they ship to the US
@@JeffRauseo, Zavvi is a UK company and is a region B, the 4K discs are region free, but what about the second disc, BD content, special features, are they not region locked, or am I wrong on this?
I’ve preordered the 40th anniversary collectors edition of the Howling from Zavvi but I’m concerned if the discs will be playable here in the U.S. other than the 4K disc. This is the 3 disc set at $55.99, w/shipping and tax $66.24 is the total cost.
It would suck if I can’t play the added value content w/o a region free player!
So I wonder if I should cancel this order.
No stateside region A equivalent coming for collectors?
Why has the Swedish box set of Universal Classic Monsters HDR10+? Its the same for the movie " Nobody", it has HDR 10+. Very strange.
Thank you Jeff. Believe it or not, I still haven't seen these movies. Will definitely check them out now that they're out on 4K.
Oh my...
My Dracula disk from the set did the same think. One fingerprint (from taking it out if the package) threw off the whole thing and it wouldn’t even start!
Is this from the Newly Restored Version??? I know that Dracula got a Complete Restoration and it’s supposed to look and sound awesome. So I’m just wondering if all these are going to be from the Fully Restored Versions.
Seems good, I’ll check it out.
Hello, just want to say Invisible man 4K Steelbook doesn't exist. I know because I purchased the other 3 at BB, but Invisible Man is nowhere to be seen. I hope it does get a release, but it's weird it got left out.
Really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!
I finally ordered my set on ebay the other night for $39.99. Does not come with digital code which is fine by me. I have saved quite a bit this past year by looking for listings without codes or slipcases.
Is Bride getting a 4k release? Actually like that one slightly better than Frankenstein.
$26,99 is expensive for Starbucks from Best Buy but I paid $40 to get the Invisible Man from zavi because for whatever reason it's not available at Best Buy. I got Dracula from Best Buy... The Wolfman and Frankenstein I'm going to wait and see if there are any deals for Black Friday for those
Classic movies. But we’re made years ago. Still look fairly good.
2:20 I don't know, but it looks like the darker hue of the 4K drown out detail and texture that you can see in the blu-ray. (Look closely at the bricks and monster's face.)
I have to respectfully disagree about the audio. Dracula sounds fine, Frankenstein still sounds like some additional work can be done. I personally think the LD, while also having issues on its own, sounds a bit more clear and crisper than the Blu-ray mix. Just my two cents.
Which print did they use? Do they retain the flower scene?
The only issue with old 4K is that sometimes the older grain of film is amplified on screen
I actually don't mind amplified grain. What's more of an issue with 4k is that it amplifies the DIFFERENCE in grain from one scene to the next, given that any two scenes aren't necessarily shot on the same filmstock and/nor same lighting conditions. The discrepancies can be unintentionally distracting at times.
@@chrisjfox8715 I think this is what I meant to say . Thanks
just got the hunt for red october 4k
I want to purchase this but have to wait a bit on cash to buy it. What do you think on the picture quality?
I watched The unboxing of the steelbook of Frankenstein 4k from UK on AJ's Movie House and this is in single Format Frankenstein disks and has 2 disks and the disks are stored in the proper format. No sleeves to pull the disks from. I'm looking at other options because 4k movies are region free.So you can get them without having to deal with the sleeve storage format. I know this would be best if you just bought the case itself to store your disks in.
Or as I have done is buy storage case's themselves. I know it should be standard across the board
But with costs these past 18 months being an issue in production of anything. Corners are being cut.Use the Frankenstein movie as metafor the towns people are rioting because of the sleeve format. Poor Frankenstein 🤣🤣🤣Blamed for Everything 🤪
Boo uses scenes from Frankenstein
Misery and Halloween 4k reviews?
I think studios purposely make that packaging poor so that you'll ruin the disc and buy another one.
That or force you to buy the more expensive steel book version.
I just can't think of any other reason why they continue making the same poor packaging over and over again.
any one else getting freezing on the dracula disc?
Frankenstein had 2 or 3 frame skips/missing frames…..this was disappointing and most likely a restoration error. Meaning, they have the missing frames sitting on a computer somewhere at Universal….but they made an error and didn’t catch it…they then pressed these with 3 missing frames!
you mean to say with today,s digital enhancement for classic b&w movies horror fans have to always watch these horror
classics by universal studios every year? at least finally release a theatrical version in color then eventually on blu-ray 4k
ultra hd for cinema horror collectors.
way too dark I actually like the blu ray better
Agreed, you can see detail in the blu-ray that's obscured by the dark transfer of the 4K
Were the other two films in this collection ever reviewed? Or the second 4K box set? Just curious.
I bought both sets, but I still enjoy the reviews. I was also not a fan of the packaging, but how I avoid the finger print and scratches is individual disc sleeves. I bought a box of 100 for pretty cheap when I got the entire series of Columbo, the clunky disc holders were brutal. I used those disc sleeves for the Alfred Hitchcock box set as well.
I love watching his videos but I never know what the fuck he's taking about
I’m sorry man but those screen shot comparisons show me the Blu-ray looks better. The 4K is way too dark.
You think? They are definitely darker, but I like the contrast much better
It's darker, but the image quality is sharper. Brighter doesn't technically mean better.
I'm not sure if I prefer the BluRay too. At least from those screenshots. If the 4k is a lot better then the screenshots really don't sell it all that well.
haaaaa,watta goomer...
@@NoirFan84 Oh my...
Frankenstein has no score!
The case stinks. Universal sucks at that.
omg no way extremely old classics on 4k ?.
Too dark 4k image.
I love watching his videos but I never know what the fuck he's taking about
