The Boogens' 4K/Blu-ray release has problematic visuals with soft, smeary images and unnatural colors, despite efforts to enhance with 4K and HDR, leading to a disappointing presentation.

Audio: 55

The release features English DTS-HD MA 2.0 and 5.1 tracks with optional SDH subtitles, presenting audio that's mostly clear yet occasionally uneven and dated. The 2.0 track offers a more natural, stable sound, while 5.1 adds atmospheric depth but occasionally struggles with clarity and dynamic fluctuations.

Extra: 71

Two engaging 2012 and new audio commentaries, an insightful phone interview with SPFX artist William Munns, alongside nostalgic trailers and TV spots, enrich the 4K and Blu-ray editions of The Boogens.

Movie: 61

James Conway's The Boogens (1981) redefines low-budget horror with inventive storytelling, mixing suspense and humor, now in 4K by Kino Lorber.
