All the extras have been all previously available and are on the UHD as well as the included Blu-ray. Audio Commentary - With John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis who chat amiably about the production,...

Halloween comes to 4K, does the all new 4K scan readdress the colour timing? 40 years. That’s how long Halloween has been scaring us. And it’s little wonder why; the construction of the film is textbook....

The masterpiece that is Halloween needs little to no introduction. The first (real) slasher movies, the unstoppable killer killing horny teenagers, the long slow build up; everything about the film is...

Note 2: My 1080p video score above is my personal reaction to the 2007 Blu-ray version, which is the one included with this release. Our original review at the dawn of both the format and this site gave...

Death comes home on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with yet another questionable, likely controversial, and perhaps even disappointing home video presentation. This new HEVC H.265 encode was recycled from the same...

The seminal horror classic makes its way to Ultra HD with the same Dolby TrueHD 7.1 soundtrack as the Blu-ray. And like before, as much as the lossless mix is greatly appreciated with excellent dialogue...

One of the most financially successful independent motion pictures of all time, John Carpenter's highly influential Halloween is the kind of horror movie that creeps out at you from behind the bushes and...
