Blue Underground's 4K UHD Blu-ray of 'Deathdream' impresses with its native 4K, 16-bit restoration from the original camera negative, enhanced by Dolby Vision and HDR grades. While improvements in density levels, color saturation, and dynamic range are noted, the upgrade over the 2K restoration is subtle but appreciable. 4.5/5.

Audio: 86

The release features an excellent DTS-HD Master Audio 1.0 track, noted for its clarity, clean dialog, well-managed music cues, and natural sound effects. Free of serious hiss, pops, or crackles, the audio preserves the creepy atmosphere effectively despite lacking surround or object-based tracks.

Extra: 96

The 4K UHD and Blu-ray releases of 'Dead of Night' excel with comprehensive audio commentaries, new interviews, and archival featurettes, shedding light on the film's production, stylistic choices, and historical context; an impressive effort by Blue Underground that delivers both rich content and valuable insights.

Movie: 76

Bob Clark's 'Deathdream' (1974) is brilliantly revived in a 4K Blu-ray by Blue Underground, pairing its raw, documentary-style horror with robust supplemental features, including new commentaries and interviews, making this release a must-have for its unsettling depiction of war's psychological impact and Tom Savini's early makeup work.
